Mr. Washington, by our latest accounts, was on the 8th instant still serenely embowered at Smith's Clove, most of his artillery at Ringwood, and about 300 of his dragoons at Kakiate, his Magazines only at Trenton, from whence, with incredible fatigue and difficulty, subsistence is lugg'd up to about 4000, of all sorts, that are now with him in his Alpine retreat; the rout for his provisions is through Morris-Town, where they say is a considerable store of camp equipage. A new law is passed in Jersey to class all the men from 21 years of age, to the oldest, in order to raise 1000 men for six months; these to be com- manded by the Cols. Neilson 1 & Fell, 2 and 2 Majors, another law is passed to order all the Tories to be removed from the lines.

A letter from Lieut. Col. BUSKIRK and Major CORT- LAND to his Excellency Gov. FRANKLIN.
Paulus-Hook, 17th June 1779.
SIR,
DEING informed that a letter has within a few days made its appearance in the city of New York, reprobating the conduct of the army in general, and the Loyal Refugees in particular, for retaliating on the Rebels (tho' in a small degree) what they have long with impunity in a most cruel and wanton manner inflicted on the friends of government, at the same time containing reflections on your Excellency as patronizing acts of cruelty, &c. permit us therefore Sir, as officers, who have been honoured with his Majesty's commission, and as exiled Loyalists from that province over which you till lately happily presided, to request the favour of a perusal of the said letter in print, that we may take the earliest opportunity of showing our abhorrence to acts unbecoming British troops, as also of testifying our determination to share with your Excellency every reverse of fortune, and consequently our resentment to any unmanly attacks on a character for which long acquaintance will justify our veneration and regard. In behalf of the 4th battalion of New-Jersey Volunteers, we have the honour to be, with assured respect,
Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servants, ABRM. V. BUSKIRK,1 Lieut. Col. PH. V. CORTLAND,2 Major.

His EXCELLENCY'S ANSWER.
NEW-YORK, Monday, June 21, 1779.
Gentlemen,
Y OUR obliging letter of the 17th, was delivered to me the next day, but I delayed answering it in expectation of seeing in Mr. Rivington's paper of Saturday, the farther Apology which had been promised by Mr. Du Bois, on his being informed, that his first was far from being deem'd satisfactory. As he has not, how- ever, thought proper to publish it either in that paper, or in Mr. Gaine's Gazette of this day, I imagine he has altered his intention.
The letter attributed to Mr. Du Bois, affecting your characters as officers of the King's army, and as Refugees from New-Jersey, I think you have a just right to a com- pliance with your request, and shall therefore send it to the press for publication.
That you may see I have not let this affair pass un- noticed, I send you a copy of a letter which I wrote to Mr. Du Bois, previous to the publication of his Apology. Why he did not follow the advice it contained-and why he afterwards avowed the letter in part, which he had denied to me in the whole, and which denial he has acknowledged, in the presence of two Gentlemen, since the appearance of his Apology, are matters I leave to your reflection.
The concern which the Gentlemen of the 4th Battalion of New Jersey Volunteers so kindly express in my behalf, and their determination to share with me every reverse of · fortune, being declared at so critical a time as the present, do me the greatest honour, and cannot fail of impressing me with the deepest sense of gratitude .- Depend upon it, Gentlemen, that whatever unmanly attacks may be made upon my character, by the suggestions of ignorance, the aspersions of malevolence, or the insinuations of pre- tended friends, they will not in the least induce me to

lessen my endeavours to manifest that duty I owe to the best of Sovereigns, and that regard and affection which I entertain for the real Loyalists of New-Jersey in particu- lar, and America in general.
I have the honour to be, with the highest esteem, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
Lieut. Col. Buskirk, and Major Cortland.
Wm. Franklin.
Copy of a letter from GOVERNOR FRANKLIN, to PETER DUBOIS, Esquire, Magistrate of POLICE.
New-York, June 15, 1779. 2 o'Clock, P. M.
SIR, FIND the refugees, and other loyalists, are extremely offended at the letter published as yours in the New-Jersey Gazette of the 9th instant. I have mentioned to them your having assured me, upon your honour, that "it was a FICTION and a FORGERY." They are, however, still dissatisfied, and urge that you ought, in justice to them, and to your own character, to declare to the public what you have asserted to me in private. I should have informed you of this yesterday, but was told by a gentleman that you had drawn up a paper for the purpose, which was intended to be published in the Newspaper of this day. As nothing of the kind has appeared, I must recommend it to you not to omit publishing such a declaration in Rivington's paper of to-morrow, and to let it be accompanied with an AFFIDAVIT. This is what I should rejoice to do, were it my own case, as at the same time that I afforded satisfaction to the friends of the King's government, I should fix an ignominy on its enemies; and perhaps, be the means of preventing such infamous impositions in future, from having their intended effect.
I am, Sir, Your humble Servant, WILLIAM FRANKLIN.

On the ninth inst. a party of Tories, from New-York, landed in Monmouth, and marched with upwards of fifty men to Trenton1 Falls undiscovered, where they surprized and carried off col. Hendrickson, lieut col. Wikoff, capts Shadwick and McKnight, with several privates of the militia-and drove off a few sheep and horned cattle. About thirty of our militia, hastily collected, made some resistance, but were obliged to retire with the loss of two killed and ten wounded. The enemy's loss is unknown.
