their boats were moved better than a mile up Newark
bay, while the troops marched along the meadow's
edge, in many places up to their middles in mud and
mire. A galley and two or three gun boats covered
their retreat at this place.
"Our loss, exclusive ofa few aged inhabitants whom
they took with them, but have since sent back, are,
one private killed, two officers, to wit, Brigade Ma
jor Ogden and Lieut. Rewcaftle, with four privates
wounded, and seven privates miffing.
" Major Ogden, who was reconnoitring the enemy
Shortly after their landing, very narrowly escaped
being made prisoner; he was wounded in his right
tide by a bayonet, but we hope not dangerously.
" The Rev. Mr. Hunter, Chaplain to the brigade,
on returning from the Governor's house, where he
had been to give the alarm, was made prisoner by
them in the night, but he had the address very soon
after to make his escape.
" The enemy's loss we cannot afeertain, besides
two killed whom they left behind, two made prison
ers, and one boat taken. Mr. Rivington allows them
seven wounded in one company. Cornelius Hetfield,
Smith Hetfield and Capt. Luce, late of this town,
were their principal guides. They had collected a
considerable number of horned cattle and horses, but
their retreat was so precipitate that they were obliged
to leave them behind."

To the P ÜBLIC K. fr
HIS is to give notice that John Wills, of Bur
^lington, in the house where Col. Joseph Haight
formerly lived, hath erected a STAGE tor the ac
commodation of travellers from Burlington to Bruns
wick. The stage-boat sets offfrom the Crooked Billet
wharff at Philadelphia every Wednesday, and the
ftage-waggon sets off from Burlington the Thursday
morning following, and returns the next day to Bur
lington, where the boat is ready to take goods or pas
sengers to Philadelphia.
This stage is very well calculated for those who
dislike travelling far by water, the distance being so
short, that if it ihould be calm, or let the wind be on
what point of the compals it may, they are sure of
getting from Philadelphia to Burlington in one tide.
There is a commodious house of entertainment
hept by the said Wills for travellers, &c. where those
who pleafc to favour him with their custom, will be
treated with every mark of refpeft.
