By an express from Salisbury in Somerset, it is certain there is a Torylnsurrection there. They had been in arms last week, and the Snow-Hill militia had gone to suppress them, on which they disappeared, and the militia returned home. But this must have been a feint of the tories to gain time to collect more from Sussex and elsewhere. Yesterday (being Sunday) great numbers were met in different places in Sussex, moulding bullets, &c. Expresses were sent to all the tory companies in Sussex, and many hundreds have marched with their firelocks, the number uncertain, though many of them were too cowardly to go. Those who have been probably hired by the English to invent and propagate lies for some years, have exerted themselves almost to press the ignorant foresters. The tory camp was last night at Parker's Mill, about five miles from Salisbury: On which Colonel [Joseph] Dashield was fortifying with a few whigs in Salisbury, but expected to be a thousand strong today: He has ammunition enough, and two pieces of cannon. Flags have been passed between the two camps, and they expect to have a battle tomorrow. It is said, that one Simon Kollock of Nanticoke, and one Herne, are to lead the Sussex tories, and Dr. Cheney, &c. those of Somerset. These, and many others, are said to have been on board the English men of war, and to have brought them round into Chesapeak bay. Armed vessels are now at Nanticoke; the tories believe them to be English, but Colonel Dashield believes them to be American, and expects some cannon from them, &c. It is certain, the English ships have not been near Lewis since they burnt a Carolina schooner in Indian river, when the tory flag on Long-Neck invited them in, the 20th of last month; when they brought Simon Kollock on shore with a new suit of cloaths, a silver hilted sword and sterling money, which he got on board. The design of all this may be conjectured. These tories use very violent expressions, as "By God, there never will be any peace till the Whigs and Presbterians are all cut off."
By accounts from Somerset, since the foregoing we learn, that the insurgents had dispersed, and several of their leaders were taken prisoners.
