Extras of a letter from Morrifo^ dated March )0.
“ General Maxwell attacked the enemy on Satur
day last, near Quibble 07 Squabble town, as they were
penetrating into the country for provender, most kinds
of which are much wanted among them. We had three
men lightly wounded, sone killed or taken; the ere
my left four dead 'on the field, and carried off numbers
as usual, which, by accounts from the prisoners, were
twenty, and numbers wounded. Their rear was so
elofely pursued that they left one waggon behind; the
three prisoners taken are just arrived, and fay the 428,
or Highland Watch, fuffered greatly in the last action.
“ Yesterday Major Butler, whose station is near
Samtown, had a brush with the enemy, drove in their
picquet guard, tock four slain on the field, and seven
horses. The express waits, or I would be more par
ticular."
.On the 6th instant two men were taken tip and con
fined in Reading gaol, for uttering counterfeit bills, in
imitation of the four dollars, and two thirds of a dol
lar, of the money iffted by the Congress, dated Febru
ary 17, 1776.
