PHILADELPHIA, October 3c.
Head-Quarters, Weft-Point, OBober 17, 1779.
THE Commander in chief has now the pleasure to
congratulate the Army on the compleat and full
success of Major General Sullivan, and the troops un
der his command, against the Senecas, and other tribes
of the Six Nations, as a just and neteffary punishment
for their wanton depredations, their unparalleled and
innumerable cruelties, their deafnefs to all remon
strance and entreaty, and their perseverance in the
most horrid acts of barbarism. Forty of their towns
have been reduced to aflies; some of them large and
commodious ; that of the Chineffee alone containing
128 houses. Their crops of corn have been entirely
destroyed, which, by eßimation, it is said, would
have produced 16c,c00 bushels, besides large quanti
ties of vegetables of various kinds. Their whole
country has been over run and laid waste, and they
themselves compelled to place their own security in a
precipitate flight, to the British fortrefs at Niagara;
and the whole of this has been done with a loss of less
than 40 men on our part, including the killed, wound
ed and captured, and those who died natural deaths.
The troops employed on this expedition, both of
ficers and men, throughout the whole of it, and in
the actions they had with the enemy, manifefted a
patience, perseverance and valour that do them the
highest honour. In the course of it, when there still
remained a large extent of the enemy's country to be
penetrated, it became necessary to lessen the issues of
provision to half the usual allowance. In this the
troops acquiesced with the most general and chearful
concurrence; being fully determined to surmount
every obstacle, and to prosecute the enterprize, to a
compleat and fuccefsful issue.
Major General Sullivan, for his great perseverance
and activity, for his order of march and attack, and
for the whole of his dispositions—the brigadiers and
officers of all ranks, and the whole of the soldiery en
gaged in the expedition, merit, and have the Com
mander in Chief's warmest acknowledgments for
their important services upon this occasion.
