NEW BERN. North-Carolina, July 19.

By a person who has just been through the settlements of the Regulators, we have advice, that upwards of 2000 of those people have taken the oaths of allegiance to his Majesty, and happily returned to their farms and plantations: They say they are now perfectly contented, and express much satisfaction at the event of the late battle, which has opened their eyes, and fully convinced them of the wrong measures they were pursuing.

By several intercepted letters from the Regulating Chiefs, it has very plainly appeared, that they intended to subvert the government, tho' it was a profound secret among themselves, and not suffered to transpire among the common people, who were to have been led on by degrees, with the pretence of redressing grievances, till their success against the Provincial forces, which they make no doubt of, should have infatuated their minds, & ripened them for the execution of the grand Plot.
