New-York, . . August 21. 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 this disturbances, were
bound over to the quarter-session. We hear the differences
are likely to have an amicable conclusion; for that, at a
meeting of 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 be tried by a court-martial, or
delivered up 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.
