(Schoodick) informs us, that before he
Jailed, he, learnt from a gentleman of

Berkeley’s dispatches, had returned to
Halifax, in the>fhort palfage qfao day.<,

Capt. Campbell Tailed from Schoo
dick on Sunday lad— The news arrived
there from Halifax qn the Friday pre
ceding, in Halifax papers. It was the
common talk on Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday, and occasioned much
joy. The particulars were related to
Capt. Campbell, by William /pike., cap-
Sbubael Downes, ’Squires Porter,
Frink and Brower, Mr. Andrews, and
many others. The shortness of the
pafTage was commented on. Such-are.
the reported particulars. Friday being

fix days from Halifax to Schoodick.
only one day in Halifax, and 40 days
passage, it could have left England no
later than the3th of September,; only
two days later than the Portland arri
val from Liverpool. It is highly pro
bable there is a chapter ©Lroittakes
somewhere,; and that either the artnif
tice between Ruffi* and France, or
the of the embargo in
England, or lome other oldevent, has
teen niiftaken for news. The report,
we are confident, as Rated by capt.
Campell was current al oCuGOoiCk ; but
the news’ is too bulky, and the channel
too roundabout, for entire credence.

A TORY CAUGHT !
During the revolutionary war, Gen.
Clinton, the Bntifli commander, Hlued
a pioclamation'cncouraging a trading
intercdurle v.ith the farmers and offer
ing foch as availed thcmlelves of it,
protection—Under this proclamation a
Mr. Ball of Elizabeth Town, New
Jersey, came to New York with pro J( J
ducc, and* having finifhed his birfinefs, ,
returned from the enemy’s lines to his 1
native place, Elizabeth Town. Return- j
ing, he was seized at Bergen Point, by j
Cornelius Hatfield, and a precious 1
group of TOiUEi. Hatfield, withoui
•rial, and without delay, conduHet
Ball to a tree, where he hung him. .-vt
the peace, Haifield fled to Nova Scotia,
where he has remained umil within a.j
lew weeks.
It appears that fome of the relations!
.if Hatfield have laiely died aud lefi;
properly, and that Hatfield, about two
weeks ago,returned hotn Nova Scotia
o Newark to claim it. Apprchenjive
however, for his iafety, recollecting no
doubt the crime of which he had beer;
guilty. Hatfield, on his arrival at New
ark, kept hiuilell Inpg; but finding that
iie could not fettle his affairs without
going at large, he appealed in public,
and was recognized hv a daughter of
Mr. Ball, who applied to the prone
authority, and had him anefted. Hat
field is now in jail at Newark, charged
with murdering Mr. Ball, and his trial
will fhordy take place.
The calc is not a difficult one. An
dre, who was confeffedlv a a fpv, went
through the regular foims of tiiai and
was executed by :he femenreof a court
narcial. On the worst fuppofiiion Mr.
Hall could not have been viewed in a
bght more odious than that of Major
Andre. But Ball had trial ; a few
moments only elapsed between his be
mg apprehended and executed. Hat
field was a Tory . He hanged Mr. Ball
without hesitation, and robbed him
when he was hung !
“ Murder, thiijh it have no tongue,
“ Will (peak witO moil mirae lion* orgatj.”
From (he perpetration of the deed to
ihe present time, many years have
elapsed, but the villain is caught atlaft.
