" Last week a court-martial was held here to try
a fellow which General Howe had sent out to buy
horses from the tories, and to take such as belonged
to the whigs. He was taken upon his return near
the enemy's lines, with a number of horses procur
ed as aforefaid. Two others also were made pri
soners who accompanied a Hag from Gen. Howe,
but broke off from the fame some miles into the
country, and were taken up as spies, and tried with
the former. It is said that they are all condemned
to be hanged, but the judgment is not yet made
public."■

In CONGRFS S, January 6, 1778.
HEREAS it appears by a return made to the
' Y Board of Treasury, from the Managers of the
Lottery of the United States, that the invasion of
the State of Pennsylvania by the enemy has obftruded
this business, and produced considerable delays in the
sale of tickets, insomuch that the -number yet re
maining on hand renders it necessary once more to
postpone the drawing thereof: And whereas Congress
being desirous so far as possible to fulfil the expecta
tions of the adventurers, think it proper to give them
the fulteft assurance that at the time herein proposed,
the Managers are to proceed on this business without
further delay.
Re/oived, That the drawing of the First Class of
the Lottery mentioned, be postponed to the firft day
of May next, at which time the Managers are di
rected to proceed therein, and complete it as soon as
may be ; and that all the tickets then unfold shall
be the property, and at the rifque of the United States.
