New-York, July 16.  
  Died at Amboy, in the 78th year of his age, Capt. William
Bryant.  He was not more remarkable for having been, upwards
of thirty years, a skilful and successful navigator between
the ports of New-York and London. . . 
A SUITABLE EPITAPH.
Tho' Neptune's waves, and Boreas' blasts,
Have toss'd me to and fro;
In spite of these, by God's decrees,
I harbour here below.
