BOSTON, ODober to. IMPORTANT—IF TRUE. Captain Campbell, who arrived here yefterdav, from Pafliiroaqnody, (Schoodick) informs us, that before he Jailed, he, learnt from a gentleman of relpeHability of Schoodicjc, *hat the Briiifh express cutter, the Sylvia, of to guns, which carried out Admiral Berkeley’s dispatches, had returned to Halifax, in the>fhort palfage qfao day.<, bringing the imerefting intelligence- That ail the founts in dispute be tween the United States and Great sru tain, had been amicably settled *ud, that a cessation o.f host t Mints bad fatten place between England and F ranee. 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 the sd, allowing the news to have been 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. NEW YORKr, Oaober‘lo.

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.
