_ mnlte the greatest effin't possible this year to reduce America tosian uncon
ditionl submiffion, being thoroughly sensible that it is 'not in the power
of this country to any on the war another year, if the present armament
should prove unsuccessful; therefore all wise men think that the Ameri
cant will keep on the dsifenswe, enuen'ch themselves at every pass and
never come to a general decisive eng-AEement, but when sure of victory.
They will no doubt lunase the Brit'x mercensin'ies in their march, cut
off their convoyl,' and keep them as much as posstblect from all kinds of
provisions:

Scotchmen in Manyffid, Virginia and the Carolinas. An old and
experienced General said the other day, that: the Amcricans were wise
in ufing the piek-ax and the spade; for by entrenching themselves alway
they ought slve many lives, and is they followed the wisdom of the
Roman General, Fabim, in opposing Hannibal and the Carthagenizms,
the Americam must be successful in the end. Indeed, it appears now,
that America has no other alternative but to submit to worse than Tur.
