September 23, 1780
THE PROVIDENCE GAZETTE & COUNTRY JOURNAL, Rhode Island, Sept. 23, 1780  Most of the front page is taken up with "The Scourge" letter #8, in which the writer expounds upon the virtues of freedom--moreso within England than as it relates to America, noting: "We, the freeholders, burgesses & electors of Great Britain...finding our freedom invaded, our liberties infringed...declare & solemnly engage that we will, by all lawful means, endeavour to procure and convene a FREE and INDEPENDENT Parliament..."  But one portion notes: "...I will use my utmost endeavours to investigate the causes and consequences of the unnatural war with America; and by every means in my power...endeavour to bring about a reconcilliation..." with more.
Pg. 2 has a bit about a proposal for Congress to procure the ship "Confederacy" (see photo). Over a full column of reports from Congress. Also a report mentioning General Clinton's taking of Charlestown, and a report from Fishkill reports on the events at Fort Lee and Paulus Hook with battle comments, including: "...all this day the infantry were employed...the enemy fired a number of shot upon those on Bergen-Neck from Staten Island..." with further battle & military reports taking over a full column, shown more fully in the photos below.
The back page has a nice & detailed account of the naval battle involving the ship "Iris" and the "Hermoine". 
Never bound nor trimmed, various water staining but not affecting any readability. A rounded lower corner does not come close to any text and the piece from the spine margin barely touches 2 letters on pg. 3, otherwise causing no text loss.  An uncommon title from this increasingly rare period of American history.
