Hartford, .'l/mrsday cvezzing, June 3.
'1‘7he Tax Bill, which has occupied a good deal
of time during the week, was decided yest,-:rday
in the House after a very warm debate. The bill
was advocated by Messrs. Ingersoll, Hinman,
Mei-win, Sterling, Ellsworth, and VVarren, and
opposed by Messrs. Croddard, Law, Gurley, and
Terry’. The question was taken by yeas and
nays, and the result was. 120 Yeas to 70 Nays.
The principles of the hill have been varied some-
what from thcbill reported by the committee.
A bill reported by the Judiciary committee,
directing sessions of the Supreme Court of Er-
rors to be held in each county, passed the House
this ‘morning; It was advocated by Messrs. Law,
C-‘urley, I-Varren, Sterling and l.\IcClellan-—-and
opposed by Messrs. Ilitiman, T. S. ‘Williams,
Goddard and Ir-gcrsoll. —

Manufactures--anotlier for the encouragement
of the Whale and Cod -Fisheries by bounties, and
a third pgovitling funds by a tax. upon steam-
bnats. lot the session is drawing so near to a
“close, that I think it doubtful wlietliertliese bills
can be decisively acted upon the present session...

Dear Brat/zer, . . _.-
- Since writing you last I have gone tlirougli‘ a
scene of anxiety and (listr_ess,' which -I had no ex.-
pectation I should survive——-on the 22d of Janu-
ary, on my return from Batavia,£~wl_iere I has
been obliged to go over land to obtain’-my port
clearan’cc- and certificates) I was madea prisoii='
er by a band of Natives who had ‘ventured upbnr
the public road-—a narrative of whicli I will rc-i
late to you. :--‘--At 1 o’clock of saiditlay, I discov-
ered aband of about 100 men iarmcigl Will! Plii¢_,5:'
knives and muskets, imtiiediately.,,on__yyhicl_t.the
driver left his seat and esca'ped5"Iéavin'g-the.hors-
cs runiiing towards the s-.ivagc"s,aiid before I could
gain-the reins, I was within ten paces of their ad-
vance, when the horses stopped and I~jumpe€_l»
front the carriage, upon which a musket was in-
stantly presented to my breast, but missed fire.
I-then seeing their intention gave inyelf up, beg-
ging for life; when they i_ustantly rushed upon
nie and seized, me by the throat and arms, and af-
ter using me inthe most violent manner, they
rifled my pockets; they then put.a cord,.made of
bark, around my neck, and".pini‘oned’..tmy arms
with thesame ‘cord, tlraxving-;thcm.;so~close behind
my back, as to put me in- thug-reatest agony-Ls.
after which, they tied my wrist act'oss».-so as com-
pletely to stop the circulation of the blood--tlxey
tlien, (it being the heat of the day) commenced
a march with me, without any hat ; often pulling
the cord which'le:l to my neck. After walking
about twd miles in that distressing condition they
made a halt, when they set up a most horrid yell,
at which there lllslalilly’ .::ppeai'ed from the edge
of the woods, adetacited party bringing two ria-
ked bodies, one of V~’i'1lCh they brought by ‘the
side of me, pierced in a shocking manner-¥tlie
other appeared to shew symptoms of life--they
thcn turned into the woods on the opposite side
with the dead body, with a part of the patrolc artltl.
with me. '
The other part kept on with the other body,
and carriage and horses--we had not gone far
into the woods when they slightly buried the
corpse, naked as it was, and continued oii-iy-itli
me,;——-my anxiety was so great and the agony..I
was in so extreme, that the sweat ran off at the
bottom of my garments. After going several
miles in that condition, they came to a small ‘ill-
lage, by a river, over which they passed on alog,
except those who led me making me .w ‘le
through.. I asked for watervto x"inl.t,~.but
was inhumanly denied; we then me to an’ _ _
tensive paddy-ground, wliere instead of going ‘on
the dikes, they made me wade through the mud
about a foot deep ; after crossing this extensive
plain, we came to a "second village over which
they made me wade as before, when we came to
tho village'whei‘e they blonged. f . _ ‘
I was then seated oti the wet ground in out
stocks, where I remained until the chief caine;
I was then taken out, placed on abencli, and 15
men called who folding tlieirliands, knceled, and
kissed his feet. After which they were brought‘
before me and their _kr.ives examined by; the‘
chief, in which place I supposed I was to be ex-
ecuted ; but hearingthe chief say Holantler, I im-‘
mediately said ./fnzcrican ,- from which he appear-'
ed to look earnestly at me, and I as earnestly at
him, repeating the word :"tmeric-an ’; when after
a few moments he ordered the knives to be re-
turned, and commanded me to be taken off the
bench and put into :1 shed, it raining violently.
After I was,_seated he wished to ascertain where
I was froni,_,_ivliere going, and to what couIi"try,'I »
belonged ;, all which‘ I gave him to understand.
I then showed him my hands and neck how tliey_
were swolcn and what misery I was in," when he
ordered me again to be searched, and fititlitig
nothing, commanded the cords to be talteri off-—
having been in~tliat'painlul situation seven hoursm
he tliengave me some rice and ordered me to be‘
conducted to a place prepared in which to rcniaili
during the night, where I was closely ‘watched
about 40 armed men to prevcntiiiy. cscape._...J
after the second day, and after several exaniirga.
tionsj, he brought most of my papers and clothes
which he permitted me to use, by having; one of
his men observe .~me shift, and sec; t1iat,iiotliiu_g
was misplaced._ He likewise gave me rice
nough to eat but my place was very wet and ttj;-.‘
comfortable. I then from day to day endeavc---‘
ed to be permitted to give some information con-‘
certiing myself, but he denied me that privigle-ge,.
I
-positively declaring I should never give any in-
formation where. I was, and that I should never
be released. I then endeavored a ransom, but
without effect-—I’i‘oni= that moment I was deter-
mined to make my escape, or lose my life inatlic
attempt. ’ . '
For several nights -I kept wakeful, but was so
closely watched that there was no possibility.ofes-
cape-'-'-when on the 9th night after my captutie,
I obtai"nc_d sortie information through a Cliiiiesc,
that the government were about sending a force.-
against 'thoni.- They then had their spies otit ev-
ery day‘, and the Chinese being t'i'cachcrr;u,s. to
them, gave me every information i-'espcctiri?,'tlie
Dutch troops, howtliey advanced; and \vli,:_irifyZpo-
sition they were in, from day to day. “I: thc'i§l‘de1-
termined to waitfthe event of the‘ ti"o.o1§§l:_conii‘ng,
and-eiideavor :‘o“7z‘n;:1;¢- the event of an‘cft‘gage-

myself in constant 1'eadin‘ess, I was as it were on

on the morning of the 4th of February, about

the woo_ds., I then ‘found I should have no other
opportuiiity, and emleavored to keep in:the vil-
lage as long as possible, to ascertain the event of
\;‘tli'c.at"tack ; but in vain, they being anxious began
‘tc use_fo_rce, when I was obliged to go with them,
.a‘n<l having nothing to defend myself, I was de-
termined‘ first to try deception,‘ and if unsuccess-
ful,‘then to take hold of the first weapon I could
find and resist them. I accordingly approached
the woods feigned faintness and fell, when they
stopped to raise me, I at the same time endeav-
‘iored to makejtheni stay by me, tliatl might not
be taken by their enemies-—when a gun was fi-
.r'ed,‘which so alarmed them that they" ran a few
paces from me, whenl instantly jurnpetl up, and
r‘an.fro.m them. I had not gone far befdre I was
again intercepted by one armed, and obliged to
flee‘ into a wood in an opposite direction from the
Dutch troops ; and being closely pursued, I hid
in a thicket where he passed me within a few
.)'8.l‘CIS,.‘WI‘lilO1.lt discovering me; After which,‘I
was six times more chased and very closely
searched after. I once lay in the water seven
hours with savages searching many times within
twenty paces of me; when it'became dark, I
made another attempt, but being lost and bewil-
(lewd: got into the water, where it was with a
great deal of dilliculty I could’ get out, it being
so extremely dark. After‘ getting out I.was a-
gain discovered in the woods bythe savages, who‘
searched until towards morning with torches,
sometimes near enough to reach me with their
spears. At about 4 ofclock in the morning, they
gave up the search, when I again endeavored to
find the way towards the troops, and by means of
a star which appeared soon after 4 o’clock, which
by placing a stick and watching it, I found which
way it rose, and which way to direct my course.
At 11 o’clock the fifth, I reached the troops,
haviug'been.4~O hours without any nourishment
and without any clothes. My feet and ‘legs, as
well as my body, were torn by the bushes and so
exhausted, that when I reached the troops it was
with difficulty I could stand. I could'write much
more, but the recollection of my sufferings, and
the anxiety of my mind on account of the dc-
rangement these events have thrown my business
into, that I can hardly connect my ideas.
[Thus, after undergoing the utmost hardships,
and experiencing the most barbarous treatment,
was Capt. Gerrish providentially rescued from
captivity and death--and proceeded on his voy-
age to Europe. But other trials and diflicultics,
it seems, were reserved for this unfortunate gen-
tleman ;.for after proceeding to Holland, thence
to Russia, and being on his passage home, it will
be recollected his vessel was cast away in the
North Sea and entirely lost, and he a second
time narrowly escaped with his life.]

DEFEAT OF M‘GREGOR.
Capt. F leetwood, arrived here yesterday in_ 25
days from PortoBello, reportsqthat Gen. M‘Greg-
or Vmadehis appearance off the harbor of Porto
Bello onthe of April. On the 8th he landed
his forces, amountingeto upwards of 1000 men,
and on the day following, entered and took pos-
session of the place. He-remained in possession
21' days without succeeding in gaining any of the
inhabitants over to‘ his standard. The depreda-
tions and robberies of his party, on private prop-
etty, compelled the inhabitants to abandon their
houses and flyto the mountains for refuge.
At the last of‘April, Gen. Hore (Royalist) en-
tered Porto’Bello at six in the morning, atid sur-
'prised M‘Gregor and his followers, who were a-
sleep. M‘Gregor and 5 or 6 of his men escaped
with difficulty by leaping from i window 20 feet
high, and swimming on board one of his vessels.
Five ‘hundred prisoners have been sent to Pa-.
nama. There were 60 men killed and 40 woun-
ded, the greatestipart of whom were oflicers.-—
Ssragglers were daily brought in from the neigh-
boring mountains. . The Royalists lost two men
killcdamd four wounded. ‘

A few days since, the putrid bodies of 8 men
in seamen's clothes, were discovered on the shore
of the ‘Chesapeake, near VVest River. They had
a'pparently been dead for some time, and it is fear-
ed, were destroyed by violence. They were im-
mediatelyiburied by the inhabitants of the neigh-
borliood, but afterwards it coroncr’s inquest was
held upon one of them, which had been dug ‘up
