In tile St. Kitts Gazette, of Fen. 14., 1767, is the deposi tion of William ilarrv, taken before G svernor De Windt, of St Euftatla, to the following purport, viz. That he (ailed from Brillnl, in Joine 176;, on board the Hoop William, for the coa:l of Africa, John Weftcoi, maf* ter, where they continued 12 months, purchasing (laves for a brjg, and trtenifelves, and afterwar ts proceeded f>r St. Kitts ; that soon after they left the coafl, the for fome reasons, beat and knocked dowti a Teaman named Stephen Porter; that the next night, between 11 and I2 S the said Porter and Richard Hancock murdered the Captain and Mate with a broad-axe, when atleep, the former on the round-house, and the latte/ inthecabbin; that the (loop was afterwards cad a vay on the Ifie of Moy, and the (laves were (old to tie Portugueze for 50 dollars a head.

It's also said, that the affairs of A merica were under infpe.'tion of the Parliament,and raig t have been great’-* ly to their advantage, before they sent their lail remonftrartce, tv iich WXI called libelous : Some of the Lords were greatly incenftd xgaiuft them ; Lord Shflburu, and Mr. Conway, told the Committee of Merchants that waited on them, that they were sorry the Americans behaved f> refracto ry, particularly the people of New- Yo’-k; and that if they had as they.lhould have done, the duties of sugar and molafles would have been eated, and their trade in general enlarged ; but now the tables we* turned againil them ; foj they OiinK the Americans want England to treat with them as an equltl power, by their-pretending in therr ktc renrmftrances to Parliament, to comply only with such laws aid taxes as they pleifcd, and thought mod convenient for the good of themselves. C*ptain Davis Was sorry to hear that the New-Yorkers friend* were also againil them ia general; that they had behaved ungrateful to the Committee, in not re turning them thanks for what they did, in getting the Scamp-Aft repeal ed, tho’ it cod them 500 1. to compleat it; but thu, on the contrary, they seem to infill upon their doing more for them,: They have had the thanks of Quebeck, and the little colony of Rhode- lilana, batmxnoye; and the lad remondlra.ee > them was voted to be burnt, unowned: Thefc threats to a well-wiftier of America, whea goes down very hard. * * Just when Capt.
