By Letters from the Frontier we learn, that
the Irish Settlers who came over last Year are in great Distress, the People
round them have left their Settlements, but they cannot do the same, because

and have neither Fire-Arms nor Ammunition to defend themselves; they have
applied to Mr. Mayson, at Ninety-Six, beseeching him to fetch them away.
