" Peeks Kill, January 7, <777,
“ The seres of fdccGNs attending our
arm, tor rune weeks part, has fpiead uni
verlal conheination amongst the enemy's
troops, and affords the"faireft profpedt : of
driving them from blew Jerky, if nor total
ly, routing them. To facilitate theft ope
rations, a large body of men is neceflary on
this fide, whTch at present are not here. 1
am therefore, at the define of his hxcelkn
cv, earnt: ly to request you to ule your ut
most endeavours to rouie and animate every
friend to the liberties of our coun ry, im
mediately to arm and embody themselves,
and march to Rye and Marineck, by the
end of the week, if possible, to afiilf. in ma
king an effort co destroy the enemy,for which
the taireff, opportunity now offers. I beg
that notchy may be made, nor pains fpar
cd, to chid the raising and forwarding this
body of volunteers ; these coming on this
emergency cannot possibly be wanted more
than ten days, or a fortnight at tartheft. I
a,he d.lire you to fend forward the tour bat
talions, and the companies of volunteers, or
such of them as are railed, to hasten to Rye
with the ^reared expedition, without firft
going bo Peeks Kill."
incor.fequerce of the above letter, we are
told, fevtral companies in tome of the fouth
thern towns in this State, have voluntarily
turned out ; and it is hoped many more will
immediately follow their example, as there is
now the faireft profoeA of their doing the
mort essential service for their country.
A letter from Peeks-Kill, fays, " The
remarkable fuccels with which a kind pro
vidence has of late favoured, us has
given quite adifferent face to our abairs-—
the people in New-Jersey are quite ffck of
their new makers, and are dailey leturning
to General Washington.",
The last Wednesday of January instant, is ap
pointed a Day of Fifing and Prayer throughout
this State.
Thtysme Day is also agreed on to be observed
in the fame manner, by the other New-Eng*
land States.'
