HARTFORD, November 6.
Copy of a letter wrote by the Count de Graffe,
to the Governor of Maryland.
On board the Ville de Paris, 061. iB, 1781.
SIR,
; I HAVE the honor to thank your Excellency,
for the news which you have communicated to
me. ,
I have prayed General Wafhyigton to return
my troops, which it is probable he has not fur
ther occasion for; Lord Cornwallis being already
captured, of which news no doubt you have
been informed. ; ,
As soon as the troops are embarked, it is my
intention to Leatethis bay, when I {hall endea
vourto contribute further to thefuccefs and fafety
of the United States, and prevent, \a< far as
maybe in my power, the designs of Sir Henry
Clinton.,,
The following contains the substance of the
articles of Capitulation between his Excellency
General Wa^hingtoß and Lord Cornwallis.
A cessation of hoflilities took; place in confer
quence of the following letter, viz./
SIR, , York, (Virginia) 17th Od. 178 E
" I PROPOSE a cessation of hoftilitics for
twenty-four hours, and that two officers may be
appointed by each 6de, to meet at Mr, Morris's
house, to fettle terms for the surrender of the forts
of York and Glocefter. .
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your moll obedient, and most
Humble Servant,
CORNWALLIS."
" His Excellency Gen. Washington;
commanding the combined Ar
mies of France and America."
His Excellency General Washington granted
a cessation of two hours, from the delivery or his
answer, and several other letters palled between
the two Generals.„
Commiflioners were appointed and articles of
Capitulation fettled and compleated the 18th.—
The most material are in fubitance as follows:
Article I. The garrison of York and Glocef
ter, including the officers and seamen of his Bri
tannic Majesty's (hips, as well as other mariners,
to surrender thernfelwes prisoners of war to the

States— the Navy to the Naval army of his molt
Christian Majesty.

military chest, and public stores of every deno
mination, (hall be delivered, unimpaired, to the
heads of departments appointed to receive them.
Art. 111. Settles the time, manner and order
of the garrisons of York and Glo'fter fide, with
fhoulde'red arms, colours cased, and drums beat-.
mgaßritifh march, to ground their arms and
return to their encampment, and remain until
dispatched to the places of their destination, &c.
The 4th retains to the officers their fide arms,
ahd secures to officers and soldiers their private
property of every kind, saving any property ta
ken from the inhabitants of the Rate may be re
claimed.
The sth provides that the soldiers be kept in
Virginia, Maryland or Pennfylvaaia, ^ much by
regiments as possible, and allowed the fame rati-
I tins as soldiers in the lervice of America, and that
I officers may be near them, &c.
The 6th allows the General, Staff and other
officers, not employed, &c. who may choose it,
to go on parole to England, New-York, or other
American polls at present in possession of the
British forces.
The 7th allows officers to keep soldiers as ser
vants, &c.
The Bth allows Lord Cornwallis the Bonetta
sloop of war, to be man'd, equipped, &c. and be
at his entire disposal to carry dispatches to Gen.
Clinton and such soldiers as he ihall think pro
per to fend to New York, the vessel to be return
ed and all the hands accounted for. ^ e :
^The .9th, allows,the traders to difpote of their
effeefts, the army having the right of preemption,
the traders to be prisoners on parole. • ;
, The loth propofed,that natives or inhabitants
of diffe rent parts of the country, in the garrison,
{hould not be punished on account of having
joined the B'itilh army.,:.. Rejected.
By the nth, the hospital stores now in York
and Gloucester, to be delivered for the use of the
British sick and wounded and further supplies for
them to he had from New-York, # _
12th, Waggons to be furnished if possible for the

ficer of the navy, &c.
1 4th, No article of capitulation to be infringed
on pretext of refrifal, and doubtful words to be
cenftrued according to common acceptation.
By the prisoners lately brought info the Port
of Philadelphia by the Fair American corsair, we
learn, that advice had been received in Britain
artd Ireland, by way of New-York and Charlef
town, of seven or eight of these states being com
pletely subjugated, or who had submitted and
were actually in the king's peace., Also, that
the merchants of the three kingdoms were dri
ving who ihould be foremoft in fending out car
goes to this continents as it was thought the de
mand for English articles would be prodigious,
after our going fix years without vicl^i^ or
eloathing. [The Philadelphia merchants; in
particular, thank these gentlemen for their good
will, and, in,return have concluded to fend a num
ber of fwift failing vessels to conduct as many of
these adventurers as they can meet, into port,
pilotage free.] . ,
Intelligence has been received from good au
thority that the late General Burgoyne has ac
tually taken orders, and declared himfelf an ene
my to the devil and all his works. In return for
which he now enjoys a benefice of 20001. per
annum. Should he be as unfuccefsful against
she spiritual enemies of the church as he was
against the visible enemies of George, we pro
nounce this falarv very unworthily bellowed.—
In due time we hope to furnifh the public with
a complect lift of his ecclesiastic titles.
ANNECDOTE (Froma London Paper)
A T the breaking out of the present war with
the French, and their joining the Americans,
Sir Joseph Yorke meeting the French ambafia
dor at the Hague, censured his Court for inter-
Tering in the dispute, and taking so ungenerous
a part ; " You have been guilty ofa dishonora
ble a&, '?fays he, “ that is unpardonable--no
less than that of debauching our daughter/' —
“ I am sorry," replies the French ambaflador,
“ that your Excellency should put such a severe
conftru&jon on the matter ; she made the firft
advances, and absolutely threv/herfelf into our
arms ; but rather than forfeit your friendfhip, if
matrimony wipnake attonement, we are ready
to a& honorably, and marry her."
The Printers of this Paper once
more most earnestly request those indebted to
them to pay up their several ballances. Those
whose accounts' are more than one year hand
ing and unpaid, may depend that their News
Papers will be flopped at the close of this year,
unless prevented by a settlement, and the most
summary and effectual measures taken to enforce
a payment.
Those Papers delivered the Toft-Riders from
this Office will likewise be difeontinued at the
fame time, unless their accounts are difeharged.
As this line of conduct has ever been the dictate
of prudence, and is now more strongly enforced
by neceffitv, it will (though with reluctance) be
invariably adhered p RIN T ERS .
