From the Poftfeript of the Pennsylva
nia Journal, publifned by T. Brad
ford and P. Hall, at Philadelphia:
PHILADELPHIA, Odober 24.
This morning arrived Colonel Tench Tilghman,
Aid de Camp to General Wajhington, with the
following di,patches to Congress :
Head Careers, near York, lath Ofl. 1781.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to inform Cohgrefs, that
a reduction of the British army under the
command of Lord Cornwallis, is most happily
effected. The unremitted ardour which ac
tuated every officer and fo/dier in the com
bined army on this occasion, has principally
led to this important event, at an earlier pe
riod than my most sanguine hopes had induced
me to expe&.
The lingular spirit of emulation which ani
mated the whole army, from the firE com
mencement of our operations has filled my
mind with the highest pleasure and fatisfidion,
2nd had given the happiest presages of fuccefi.
On the 17th instant, a letter was received
from Lord Cornwallis, proposing a meeting
of Commillioners to consult on terms for the
surrender of the polls of York and Gloucester.
This letter (tie firft that had passed between
us) opened a correspondence, a copy of which
I do myfelf the honour to enclofc ; that corre
spondence was followed by the definitive ca
pitulation, which was agreed to and ffoed on
the 19th, copy of which ^ herewith trdufmit
ted; and which I hope will meet win the
approbation of Congress.
\ I should be wanting in the feelings of grati
tude, did I not mention on this occasion, wit\
the warmelt sense of acknowledgement, the
very cheerful and able alliftance which 1 have
received in the course of our operations, from
his Excellency the Count de Rochambeau
Nothing could equal this zeal of our allies,
but the imitating spirit of the American office $,
whole ardour would not fuller their exertions
to be exceeded.
The very uncommon degree of duty and fa
tigue, which the nature of the service required
from the officers of engineers and artillery of
both armies, obliges me particularly to men
tion the obligations I am under to the com
manding and other officers of those corps.
I wish it was in my power to express to Con
gress, how much I feel myfelf indebted to the
Count de Graffe and the officers of the fleet
under his command, for the diftinguiffied aid
and support which has been afforded by them,
between whom and the army, the most happy
concurrence of sentiments and views have lub
fifted, and from whom every possible co ope
ration has been experienced, which the most
harmonious intercourse could afford.
Returns of the prisoners, military flores,
ordnance, Whipping, and other matters, I Ihall
do myfelf the honour to transmit to Congress
as soon as they can be coMeded by the heads
of departments to which they belong.
Colonel Laurens and the Viscount de No
ailles on the part of the combined army, were
the gentlemen who afted as commissioners, for
forming and fettling the terms of capitulation
and surrender, herewith transmitted, to whom
I am particularly obliged for their readings
and attention exhibited on the occasion.
Col. Tilghman, one &f my Aids de Camp,
will have the honour to deliver these dispatches
to your Excellency ; he will be able to inform
you of every minute circumhance which is not
particularly mentioned in my letter. His me
rits, which are too well known to need any
observations at this time, have gained my par
ticular attention, and J could wish that they
may be honoured by the notice of your Excel
lency and Congress.
Your Excellency ano\Congrefs, will be
pleased to accept my congratulations on this
happy event, and believe me to be, with the
higher refyed ana esteem,
* Sir, your Excellency's
Molt obedient humble Servant.
GEO. WASHING TON.
P. S. Though I am not possessed of the par
ticular returns, yet I hav% reason to suppose
that the number of prisoners will be between
five and fix thousand, exclusive of seamen and
others.
His Excellency the
Frtfde:t of Congress.
