NEW JERSEY IN THE REVOLUTION. [1780


Extract of a letter from Lord George Germain, to his Ex- celleney Sir Henry Clinton, dated 4th of October, 1780.


"The very extraordinary instance of courage shewn by the Loyal Refugees, in an affair of Bull's ferry, of which you make such honourable mention, it is a pleasing proof of the spirit and resolution with which men in their cir- euistance will act against their oppressors ; and how great advantages the King's troops may derive from employing those of approved fidelity. And his Majesty, to encourage such exertions, commands me to desire you will acquaint the survivors of the brave SEVENTY, that their intrepid behaviour is approved of by their Sovereign."


-The New-York Gazette: and the Weekly Mercury, De- cember 18, 1780. No. 1522.


CHATHAM, (New-Jersey) December 13.


Last Friday night five horse thieves, of Capt. Ward's party, were taken at Dow's ferry, on their way to New- York. There were eight in the party, and each of them had stole a horse but three had crossed before our people came up with them, by which means they made their escape. Among the number taken is one Horton, an old offender, who made his escape from Morristown goal some time since.


A New-York paper of the 8th instant announce the death of Lord Drummond, at Lisbon, a person notoriously known in this country.

parts of this state. Head-Quarters is established at New- Windsor.


We hear that a packet in 30 days from London, arrived lately in New-York harbour. She was anchored off in the stream, and no person except the Captain was suffered to go on shore or have any communication with the in- habitants of the city. It is said she brought important dispatches, after the delivery of which, she immediately put to sea.


A New-York paper of the 8th instant, announces the death of Lord Drummond, at Lisbon, a person notoriously known to the citizens of the United States.


A correspondent assures us it may now be affirmed with certainty, "that the Dutch, and also the Portugese have joined the northern powers in the armed neutrality; the former with good will and from the heart, the motives of the latter are not yet so well ascertained."


It is far from being improbable that the negotiations for a general pacification will take their rise from the politicks of this neutrality. If Great Britain chuses to persist it will be like the rest of her blind and deluded conduct.


Mr. Laurens has arrived in London, and it seems is con- fined in the Tower. It is added, Lord North told him he would be obliged to him if he would answer a few ques- tions; to which Mr. Laurens replied, that he considered himself the confidential servant of the United States, and should give him no information.


We are informed that Lient. Joshua Studson, of Mon- mouth was shot last week, as he was attempting to board a vessel off Tom's River, supposed to be trading from New- York to Egg-Harbour.


Lately married at Woodbury, Mr. Richard Wood, jun. of Greenwich, Cumberland county, to Miss Ann Cooper, of the county of Gloucester.

Extract from GENERAL HEATII'S Orders.


West-Point, Nov. 29, 1780.


H IS Excellency the Commander in Chief having been pleased to order the New-Jersey brigade to remove to another quarter, the General cannot but express in this publiek manner the support and assistance he has received, the pleasure and satisfaction he has enjoyed in the attention and soldierly behaviour of the troops of this brigade on every occasion, since he has had the honour to command them, and most sincerely wishes the officers winter quarters convenient and agreeable, the soldiers everything necessary and happy.


The post who rides from Morris-Town to Phila- delphia brought no eastern mail this week. HIe informs that the rider from Fish-Kill to Connecticut had been again robbed of his charge, by a person or persons un- known. Is it not high time for his employer to investigate his character?


P HILIP MULLENOR, an apprentice lad, fifteen years of age, has short light coloured hair, left his master's service on the 12th instant : had on a new linsey coat" of a lead colour, with pewter buttons, a jacket of the same colour, but much worn, brown cloth breeches, yarn stock- ings, new shoes with stiffning behind, a fur scollop'd hat, and a flannel shirt. It is supposed he will endeavour to get to New-York, as his mother lives there.

There were eight in the party, and each of them had stole a horse, but three had crossed before our people came up with them, by which means they made their es- cape.

NEW-YORK, December 23.


It is a question that puzzles some people, why the Con- gress have ordered the rebel army to winter this year at New-Windsor, and not as heretofore in the Morris- town MOUNTAINS.


A CORRESPONDENT proposes the following CON- JECTURES in speculation for a Solution.


I. Because for want of money and credit, the army must live by pillage, and New-Jersey is exhausted.


II. Because, in the growing jealousy of such discon- tented troops, it is unsafe to be too far from the Highland Forts.


III. Because Mons. Rochambault is not very fond of trusting his own little army in New-England, unless Wash-

ington is as near him as possible, to suppress a spirit not very friendly to either, and less likely to be quiet under the intended draughts this winter upon their stock and forage for congressional certificates.


IV. Because, when the militia or months men are gone from Washington's army, and none but continentals re- main, which must be the case very soon, it will be very convenient for various reasons to have the mountains be- tween them and the British army.


V. Because, there is a very black cloud risen in the north-east parts of New-York, and in other districts by the desertion of the Vermonteers: and another may soon ap- pear in the N. W. in which case it would be very absurd to be found at Morris-town, when perhaps the roads may be impassable.


VI. Because, the congressional interest in the west, seems to be scarcely worth the expence of keeping it alive, nor from the sullen avarice, & increasing light of the Dutch in Pennsylvania, is there much probability of supplies from that quarter.


VII. Because, it is but fair and just, that as New-Eng- land began the war, and has suffered less by it, and got more by privateering than her sister colonies, it should at last regret there, that they may take a part of the bitter cup, which the New England politicians mixed up, and of which other provinces have been obliged to drink an immoderate proportion. When Samuel Adams saw the desolations in his first journey, and was asked whether his countrymen would bear such distress for liberty, he replied, "They "would not be such fools, before it comes to this in New "England, they will be wise enough to make peace." Per- haps the Boston politician may see himself out-witted by the Virginian Heroe he so much despises, as soon as Mathews and Telfair have succeeded, in the motion Mons. Rochambault so warmly recommended to the Connecticut Susquehanna Company on his arrival, for turning the Lieutenant General of France, into the Protector of America.
