To the INHABITANTS of NEW JERSEY,
Gentle Men,
CONSIDERING the noN6 ardor width this Bate
has uniforrhly manifested in the common cause, I
am confident that ou t virtuous Farmers will take ^
particular pleasure in complying with his Excellency
the General's request. They will d^dain in the
close of our druggle, to fuJy the honour -which
New Jersey has. aefeftedly acquired by affording all
poriible aid during the whole conred. 'Tis hoped
the next campaign will make the enemy repent their
execrable purpose of enslaving a free people; and
teach ever Britilh Cupidity wisdom. For liberty's,
fake. Gentlemen, let not our expectations of thra
campaign be disappointed for want of the supplies
we can lo easily furnish; I know ,you will exert
yourftlves, and Want neither arguments to convince,
nor exhortations to rouse you. Your country calls ,
and to the call of your country you were never deafi

. On WeLefday lad the enemy landed about 3000
then at Billingsfort, and marched down the.road to
wards Salem, and on intelligence received that ano
ther body intended to laud at Copper's ferry, in or
der to furprize General Wayne (who had lately land--
ed in New-Jerfev with §OO of the Continental
Troops) end Col. Ellis, who commanded a detach
ment of the Jersey Militia at Haddonfield, our troops
not being fudicient to rilake a hand, it was thought
inoft advifeabie to move towards Moores Town, to
prevent being furiounded which was accordingly
done a fe& hours before the enemy landed about
1500 rten ^theable te yhe 0 : A '' : rvv ? -^<-,.U and
marched to Haddonfield early in the Corning of the
2 6th; Upon this our men marched to MoUnt-Holly
to Wait for reinforcements. The Governor upon
receding the above intelligence ordered out a-prp
per number of the Militia to oin those under Col.
Ellis who are now collecting with great alacrity,
Ind unless the ^nertiy retire before they are attache#
by the united vigour of General Wane's troops and
our Militia we doubt not wil-l repent their rash visit
to this State.-- Lad Friday Brigadier Gen. Count
PolJki of the Cavalry, left this place with a body
Ofheffe ln,exce'lent order to join Qt continental
troops under General Wayne, and who flora the,
former exhibitions oflris valour Ahclalternefs, will
give a good account of the enemy's horse if they do
