WILLIAMSBURG, August 30.

By MR. William Harrison, in nine days from Fort Pitt, we have advice, that Capt. John Hingston, with a number of settlers, arrived from Licking Creek, near the Kentucky, the very day he left home. Capt. Hingston gave the following account, that one James Cooper, and another person, a Dutchman, being on their way to a buffalo lick, were fired upon by a couple of Indians, who shot down Cooper, and frightened the Dutchmanhorse so that he flung him. His foot hanging in the stirrup, one of the Indians made up to him, to tomahawk him; but, although in that disadvantageous situation, he found means to aim his gun so well (which he never omitted) as to shoot the Savage dead on the spot, and, seeing the other Indian making up to him, he disengaged himself from his own horse, mounted Cooper, and got clear off to the inhabitants. Upon his arrival, many of the Kentucky settlers immediately went about

sorting themselves at Boonsborough and Harwoodtown; and numbers agreed to come into the neighborhood of Fort Pitt, with Captain Hingston. - Mr. Harrison likewise informs, that Mr. Jacob <<Hite>> , who lately removed from Berkley county to the neighborhood of the Cherokee country with his family, and a large parcel of Negroes, was murdered at his own house by those Savages, with most of his slaves, and his wife and children carried off prisoners; his son, who was in the Cherokee country, was likewise murdered. - The Shawanese, Delawares, and Mingoes, had not met our Commissioners, although two expresses had been sent to them for that purpose, and returned without any answer. A third express was sent off, but had not returned.

WILLIAMSBURG, June 17.

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of his MajestyCouncil, was this day pleased to order writs to issue for the election of a new Assembly; which, we hear, is to meet as speedily as may be.

On Monday evening last an express arrived in this city from Hampshire, with letters from Col. Abraham << Hite>> , residing there, to his Excellency our Governor, which give us fresh assurances of the determined resolution of the Indians to declare war against us. It would be needless to expatiate with respect to the distresses of the inhabitants in many of the back parts of this colony, as their situation must be sufficiently obvious to every one, who has attended to the many late accounts of the barbarity of the Indians towards them. -- Colonel << Hite>> reports, that he has received intelligence from Cheet River, upon which he can depend, that on the 4th instant, some people going to or by the house of one William Speir, they discovered him, his wife, and four children, murdered and scalped, with a broad axe sticking

in the manbreast, and his wife lying on her back entirely naked. At another place they found a mancoat, with a number of bullet holes in it, and a child murdered close by the same. The cattle they have likewise killed. In short, the outrages committed by these barbarians are hardly credible; and, we are told, that scarce a day happens but some cruelty or other is committed. Colonel << Hite>> declares, that although he resided there during the two last wars, he never saw a greater consternation and distress among the people than is at this time.

On Saturday, the 21st of May, was found, on the Buffaloe Ridge road, about 5 miles above the mouth of Tye river, in Amherst county, the body of an elderly man, who appeared to have been murdered some days before; his head had been violently beat (probably with a club) and his body removed some distance from the road, and nearly covered with stones. He was dressed in a dark grey coat, with black cuffs and buttons, black velvet waistcoat and breeches, and jackboots. There is reason to believe he was a dissenting clergyman, as the jury found in his pockets some printed and manuscript sermons, and some memorandums, in one of which was wrote, Reverend Jacob Peoples," which is supposed to have been his name, and is said to have been an inhabitant of the back parts of Pennsylvania. They also found about

30s. in silver, with some other things, and a note of directions for the road; from which it appeared he was traveling into Augusta, by Rockfish Gap. The murderer has not yet been heard of.
