Another item mentions: "...from New Jersey...we are informed that Mr. Washington still continued at Middle-brook...sent a detachment from his army...to speculate on the operations of the British troops upon the banks of the Hudson." Also: "...it appears very certain that the rebels in general are heartily tired of the ruinous war they have brought upon themselves, yet still have ...some flattering hopes of a reconciliation with Great Britain & that too upon the idea of their independence." "...that Mr. Gates, with a body of 4000 rebels, was at Providence...". "...informing that a battle had been fought in the suburbs of Charlestown [Charleston] in which the Rebels were defeated & that the British troops had taken possession of the town..." and so much more.
