Another notable item: "It is certain that the court of Spain hath concluded a treaty of alliance & commerce with the United States of North America..." (see). Another page has a letter from a man in an expedition from New York to Virginia which begins: "This little squib...did more mischief & occasioned more distress to our enemies than any thing of the distress to our enemies than any thing of the kind yet performed...".
