New-York, Sept.1. We hear that after the examination of a
great number of witnesses, respecting the late disturbances
between some of the citizens, and a party of soldiers, the
corporal and drum major of the regiment, who appeared to be
the chief authors of the disturbances, were bound over to
the quarter session, as also a Lieut. We hear these
differences are likely to have an amicable conclusion; for
that at a meeting between the magistrates of the city, and
the officers of the regiment, in the presence of the
governor, they declared their desire of living in harmony
with the citizens, and said that upon any misbehaviour of
the soldiers, under their command, they should either be
tried by a court-martial, or deliver'd up to the civil
authority, as the magistrates should require,--They only
desired the soldiers should not be ill treated or molested,
which was promised on the part of the magistrates.
