On the 16th inst. Major General De Coudray, a brave and accomplished French Officer, most unhappily lost his Life in the River Schuylkill, into which he was plunged by his affrighted Horse, out of the Ferry Boat. This melancholy Event, hath involved his Friends in the deepest Affliction, in which every Lover of Freedom unfeignedly participates. He was on his Way to join the American Army, at the Head of a Corps of French Volunteers, who accompanied him from their native Country, for the noble Purpose of drawing their Swords, under the illustrious Washington, in Defelice of this Liberty which is the common Inheritance of Mankind, now invaded here by the bloody Legions of an execrable Tyrant. The Corpse of this hapless General was interr'd on Wednesday Evening, with those Marks of Distinction which his Merit justly entitled him to receive, as the last Tribute, from a grateful People.
