October 22, 1782
THE ST. JAMES'S CHRONICLE, London, Oct. 22, 1782 Page 3 has most of a column taken up with various reports from America, including four naval items datelined from New York. Also extracts from the Penna. Assembly, as well as a report from the U.S. Congress noting: "Resolved, that Congress approve the conduct of General Washington in refusing to enter into any discussion with General Carleton on the subject of the treason laws passed by the several states..." with more.
Also a brief note that: "Capt. Schaik, who is detained by General Washington as a fitter object for retaliation than Capt. Asgill was thought to be, died suddenly while in confinement, supposed to have put an end to his own existence rather than suffer the ignominious death allotted to him."
The back page has a brief mention of John Paul Jones: "...unhappily a confirmation of the intelligence...of the destruction of our settlements at Hudson's Bay by a small squadron, under the command of Paul Jones...".
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, red tax stamp on the front page, some foxing, good condition.
