bin from exchanging bim-CTbat General LEE retained bis
inflexible attachment to the Liberties of America, and that
be openly avowed it upon all occasions. It is impossible for

directing their military spirit in the beginning of the contro

tention to the health, cloatbing, &c. of their fcldiers---and,

Acorrespondent proposes that the United States of America
Should be called the United States o/Columbia, in,sad
of America, and gives the following reasons for it.
I. Columbus was the fir, discoverer ,f this quarter
cf the globe. He was iiluftrious for bis virtues, and
was requited for bis unparallel Services to the gteat in
terefs of humanity, with the mo, cruel and u,u, perJecutivn
by the ungra'ful monarch of Spain. - Am^ricu- did not
failfor this country till Severalyedrs after its difover,, and
afterwards obtained the honour of ha ving it called after bit
name by fraud and irfufice.

HARTFORD, March 3.
Left Saturday evening the notorious Moses Dunbar,-
and more infamous Ei<ha Wzdfworth, (the fo^mx
under lenience cf death for High Trltafvn aid taei'
latter confin'd for treasonable practices against she
States, as lately mentioned) broke fem their coxfine
mem in the goal in this place, and attempted 10 m#ke
their escape : but, by the vigilance and activity cfih^
Goal-keeper and his century, they were pursued, fooiw
after taken and re-committed As the time cfDo
bar's execution draws nigh, and our secret enemies
are many, it seems to be the duty cf every friend to hu
country in this and .he neighbouring town*, to k#ep a
good look-out; and that he may the mere tai'y be
apprehended fhoird h# efitt an escape from prison, it
is thought nectar, to give the fallowing difeription
of his person, viz. Hs is about 40 years of age, ab^ut
5 stet 8 inches high, lhort curl'd hair, which, with his
beard, is of a sandy colour, has a down lot k, raun^
face, hollow e~ e'd, and wears a red great coat.
The method the above criminals took to make their
escape was by knocking down the centuries as the,
went into the room to m&ke the usual feared, Dunbar
having previously clear'd himfef of his Shackles.
We hear that Maj. Rogers, commander cf a pack cf
infamous Lories Rationed at Kingsbridge, has lately
been br ke by order of General Howe, far a&ing a
part con„ ent with him,lf; and that My. French late
ptifoner of war in this town Succeeds him in command
on that Ration.
