Dove-mentioned, which shall not be so delivered in
ithin such reasonable time as the refpedive States

Saturday last a considerable body of the British
1 ght infantry, accompanied by a party of light horse,
made an excursion into the country as high as a place
called the Spring-house tavern, about 16 miles from
Philadelphia, where they made prisoner a Major
Wright of the Pennsylvania militia, and a number of
persons in the civil department, such as magirtrates,
assessors, constables, &c. who were pointed out by
me tories inhabiting that neighbourhood. The ene
my went out in three divisions, part of them through
Germantown, where they broke many windows, seized
all the leather, flockings, &c. and returned to Phi
ladelphia in the evening of the fame day, after hav
ing committed many other a&s of licentiousness and
cruelty on the persons and property of those they
term rebels.
We learn from good authority, that a party of
the enemy of about 60 men, lately attempted to fur
prize one of General Putnam's pickets near Kingf
bridge—but they were so warmly received that two
only escaped to tell the tale of their misfortune ; the
rest either being taken or slain.
It is said that the vefTel which Lord Howe lately
.rent to Rhode-Bland in, is so cut by the ice as to be
rendered totally unfit for service.

fitNo port has arrived at Eafton from the eartward
