New-York, March 6. . . . We have authentic advice of the
23d of last month, from Ulster county, that on Saturday
night, the 18th Mr. John Schoonmaker, being in bed,
overheard the following conversation between his own Negro
York, and a Negro named Joe, belonging to Mr. Johannes
Schoonmaker, viz.
York. How many?--Joe. A great many.--York. From where?--
Joe. From Keyserock, Hurly, and Kingston.--York. How much
powder have they?--Joe. Two pounds.--York. That is not
enough, they should have more to get through with it, and
drums enough to prevent hearing the cries. They will begin,
two at your house, two at John De Puis's, and in proportion
more at other houses. . .
