Exiraa of a letter from Cambridge% Sept. 14.
c< Your Committee of Safety have much obliged
the General, and served the Cause, in forwarding
the powder, which has given our army frefh spirits
and life. I wish it had been thought proper to haye
sent forward the eloathing, as it would have been of
great service to our detachment, which let off for
Canada yesterday; Col. Arnold commands it, and
exptcis to penetrate into Quebec about 90 miles be
low Albany. If the feafonis not too far advanced,
or the Canadians and In bans unfavourable to the
scheme, we flatter otule[ves,. that in a, few weeks we
flrall hear of his being in possession of Quebec. There
"is only a company of 25 men there at present, and
the American cause highly favoured both by French
and English. All our accounts from that province
are very promising, and afford the pleasing hope,
that e'er long thargreat province will accede to the
American league. A vessel taken by the Lively man
of war, was retaken a few days ago, and brought
into Cape-Ann by an armed schooner that the Gene
ral had fitted out from Marblehead ; and had it not
been for a mutiny among the crew, they might have
retakerf eight more, and got Dawson, the Captain|
of the man of war who had seized them. The raf-1
cals are brought down here under guard, and 1 hope |
will meet with their deserts. We have several de
serters, and taken above 20 prisoners within these
two last weeks past; one a domestic of General
Howe's, but brings us nothing very new. He fays,
the usual chat at his matter's table was, that they
should winter in Cambridge, the Colleges would
make good barracks, &c. and he believes they will
come out. They have now got above 20 fiat bot
tomed boats, that will contain 60 men each, and
frequently praHile the men in embarking and disem
barking ; such an event is m ft ardently wished by
every jnan in our army, in all human appearance
their utter defeat would be inevitable. We have
mow got some floating batteries built, under the di
re&ion of Admiral Putnam, whole versatile genius
is as ready for operation by water as land. As soon
as they are qompleatly equipped, we hope to fend you
some account of their doings, as the phrase is here.
Seven of the prisoners were taken very oddly ; one
got into a boat, which he was aukward in managing,
, nd was like to drive on our shore ; a ferjeant and
fee men let out in another, to bring him back, they
knew as little of a boat as he did, and the whole
seven came driving over with a strong wind and tide
right into our guards.---Dr. Coates, Capt. Melchior,
and Matthew Duncan, of your city, with some otherl
volunteers, are gone with Col. Arnold to Quebec.
“ All hostilities between the two camps have ceased
for feveTal days, the irregular firings on the lines and
centries having been found very prejudicial to the
discipline and good order of the army, is positively
forbid on pain of being fired upon by our centries.''

in, we are informed, that they are preparing to
