PHI LADELPHI A, Bec. 19.
The 1 ain body.of the enemy's forces are yet at Trenton,
from which place they fend out parties of infantry and ca
valry to harrafs the country, and procure provisions. Last
week five hundred Hessians, and a party of light horse, took
poffeffioa of the city of Burlington, but the rowgalliei, be
!°nging to this Rate, obliged them to abandon it in a few
hours. A large body of them was since seen at Coryell's
ferry, about five miles above Trenton, and smaller parties in
different part# of the Jerfi% However, as a line of commu
nication is formed on this fie Delaware, for more than forty
miles, the armies under Generals Gates, Sullivan, and Ar
nold, having certainly coffed it, and joined General Wash
ington, and the militia from the counties in this date are
following the noble example, of the city militia, who have
feme time joined the main body, there is na doubt but the
enemy will be repulsed with great daughter, if they should
attempt to craft the river.
