NEW-LONDON, JUNE 27.
Lift Wedaefday Evening a Flag of Truce
arrived here from New York, which Place
fhe'lefc at 2 o'clock on Tuesday Afternoon.
Capt. Charges Bulkley,(who was taken in a
Vessel belonging to this State, and has been
Priloner in a Guard ship at New-York near
three Months past) came Passenger; who
gives us the following important Intelli
gence, viz. That on Friday morning last
Gen. Howe ? with a number of his Troops
embarked at New York, and went to Bruhf
wick, io the Jerseys, his Army here having
just before advanced some Miles nearer the
American Army, but on Friday Night
Home's Array struck their Tents and again
returned co Bruufwick . • That at 6 o'clock
on funday morning a very heavy firing be
tween the two armies, and in the afternoon
the whole British army left the Jerseys and
landed on Staien-Ifland, all the boats and
imall cast about New-York being ordered
down to jrut the troops in their embarka
tion : On Monday all the transports went
to Staten-Bland, and when the Flag left
New-York were taking off the troops from
that Island ; their dedination was not known,
but it was reported they were bound to
Coane&tcut, Rhode-Blind or the North-
River. Capt. Bulkley could not get an ac
count of the enemy's loss in the Jerseys, but
federal boats loaded with wounded Hessians
\ had arrived at New-York : that numbers
of the inhabitants of that city were compel
led to go in the transports and boats, and
the whole city appeared to be in great con
fiernation : That during the a&ion an Sun
day two companies of Hessians deferred to
our army.• That very few leciuks had ar
rived from England, tho' various stratagems
uere used to circulate reports to the con
trary and keep up the spirits of their troops.
