G/PEN at Head- Quarters, Morris-Lown,
January 25, 1777.
G. WASHINGTON.
By his Excellency's Command,
Robert H. Harrison, Sec'ry.
By the last accounts from Long-Ill,and,
we are credibly informed that after the de
feat of the Enemy at Trenton, General
Howe ordered all the male inhabitants of
Long-Island, capable of bearing arms, im
mediately to repair to New-York, to rein
force the British army § and that the women
and children were reduced to great extremi
ties by being there left destitute and exposed
to the ravages of the troops left for the de
fence of the island.
We hear that General Howe has lately is
sued a proclamation in New Jersey, com
manding all persons who had accepted his
protection, to repair to his army.
It is confidenly asserted, that the king of
Great-Britain hath agreed with the prince of
Hesse to fend to his Highness's principality
as many American tories as may be necessary
to replace the Hefflans who may be killed
or taken priforers by the Americans.
The 19th Day of March next, is appoint

FISH-KII? L, Jan. 30.
We learn that in New-York the inhabi
tants are greatly diltreffed. Every article of
provision is fekree and dear. A person just
from the city informs us that the loaf
Which formerly fold for 8 coppers,fells for 24.
No frefh butter to be had, only some trifh
butter, very strong, at three (hillings per lb.
oak wood at 5 1. per cord. The Tories are
very uneasy on account of General Heath's!
army being so near them : it is s a id they are
moving some of their effects out of the city
to Stacen-Ifland. Ofine times! whoWou'dn'c
fly to New-York for protection !
We are. informed, that on Wednesday last
week his Excellencey General Wkfhingr , n if-
ItLd a proclamation desiring the whole army
to be in readiness with' three days provision,
whence it is conjectured we shall soon have
important news from head quarters.
Since our last, we are well informed thatz
party from our army have taken forty wag
gons, loaded with stores, from the regulars?
We learn that the recruiting service goe^
on brifkiy in this State, arid that rhe're
giments ordered to be railed in it will foom
be full.
PROVIDENCE; January 25.
A Newport paper of Thuefday fe'nnight
contains an address from the tories to Gen
eral Clinton, intreating him to use his influ
ence with the pretended commissioners of
peace, that through his iriterceffion they
may " once more enjoy the King's most gre
cious protection."
Since our last a veffM arrived in a neigh
bouring State from Martinico. A gentle
man who came in her informs, that a'conff
dtrable number of troops have lately arrived
there from France in some ships of war, and
that a body of 10,000 men will soon be as
sembled at that island. He further informs,
that the French at Martinico confider a war
between France and Great Britain as inevi
table.
