THE CONTINENTAL JOURNAL & THE WEEKLY ADVERTISER, Boston July 21, 1780  An uncommon  title containing various Revolutionary War content, with the ftpg. have various "extracts" from the Congressional Journal including word that letters from Gen. Washington and Col. Fleury were read soliciting an extension of Fleury's furlough.
A pg. 2 resolution passed in England, states that "...the prosecution of an offensive war in America is most evidently a measure which by employing our great & enormous expensive military operations against the inhabitants of that country, prevents this from exerting its united, vigorous & firm efforts against the powers of France & Spain..." and would ultimately contribute to: "...the final ruin of the British Empire." A letter from "Plymouth" says in part that: "...America is so reduced and so tired of the war, that the present Ministers will very soon have an opportunity of making an honorable peace...".
A report from London says that the people of Charlestown (Charleston), "...the capital of South Carolina..." were in a quandary as to whether that: "...opulent & elegant city...[was] laid to ashes by the assailants, or set fire to by the Americans themselves." It also mentions that the "...inhabitants...are reduced to a very critical situation." Pg. 3 has a list showing the "value of 1000 Continental Dollars in Specie on the 1st day of every month from September, 1777 until March of 1780.
Another report mentions the arrival of Major General Lincoln and "2000 Continental Troops at Philadelphia after defending Charlestown. Another report begins: "...the famous Sir Henry Clinton...in the true spirit of a modern Englishman, hath broken thro' every article of the capitulation between Gen. Lincoln & himself." Pg. 3 also has a resolution signed in type: John Hancock, and pg. 4 has a list of the British ships lost since the start of the War.
