" The inhuman treatment alluded to, was the
indiscriminate plunder fuffefod to be committed,
by the folcbery under his command on Staten
Eland, 0 Long Lland, the White slams, and in
the I rovince of New }erfey, where friend and
fee, Loyalist and Rebel, met with the fame fate;
a seres of continued plunder, wbicli was a disgrace
to an army pretendirg to dTciflinc, and which;
while it tended to relax the dTcipline of the
troops, could not fail to create the greatest aver-
Lan, even in the bread of loyalty itfeif, to a
service which, under the fair pretence of giving
them protection, robbed them, in many infiances,
of even the hecelfaries of life.
" In vain, I imagine, will the General plead,
before the candour and humanity, of tne public,
his orders and proclamations forbidding plunders
-—Laws, without execution, are but a dead letter ;
and his orders and proclamations, so often re
peated, without punching the atrocious offenders,
were considered as blank paper."

" HacLthe General Hid feme, and but few of
rhe,people of New Jersey had a^d in this man
ner ", he would have- been much nearer to the
sass. Among the 6000 people who came in and
took the oaths, some were, it may be reasonably
supposed, dihrifted; but even these, we ought
to fippofe, would have kept their oaths, had' not
the I reclamation been shamefully violated on the
part. of the General. The 1 lander was so irdlf
criminate, and so exccffivc, that men were robbed
of their all ; and it wit's these d sassed men, made

" In pages 59, 60, the General endeavours to
f extenuate. the plunder, and other enormities com
muted by the fold^fy in America, die Alerts,
that "there richer was Id's plunder, nor fewer
• " enormities' committed by any army in the field
# and intimates, that the ne'%{papers in America,
Lke'thofe of other countries, are the vehicles of
invention and calumny, iwpn 'which these jfyor
mities are grounded.
I fir.merely wist, fed dig'credit of Lurin ' na
ture, ae well-zs Lrtrie-General's cr'dh, that this
representation were just-; 'but all, and more than £
have said in my letters to a Nobleman, vefyetling
indiferimihate and exMLive plunder, is known to
thousands within the Brrilh lines, and to a num
ber'of Gentlemen nowrin 'England ; arid in reipedp
to the Apes, 'the fa& aTedged ck^s not depend on
the credit of rewfpapers. A solemn 'enquiry was
made, and affidavits taken, by which it appears,
that no left than twenty-three were # committed in
on^ neighbo irhood in New- Jersey ; dome of them
on married women, in the prefersce cd their hel,r
less hafbands; and ethers on daughters, while
the unha.rov : /rents, with tina v ailing tears and
cries, ceiAl onio daphne the savage brutality.
These affidavits are on record in America ; and
prayed copies are now in London. Such were the
uncaf res pursued by the General, to reconcile nis
Mjedy's deluded fubjefts to his government, and
to encourage the Lovahfls todupport thecauie of
their Sovereign !

7THE public will beware of counterfeit dollars,
datfd 1782. They Appear to be very well
made, and a petfon who is not ca tlous wul be
'apt to receive them as good. Lie composition is
sip. ofd to be chiefly copper : and antimony,
they are very brittle, and on ringing them the
found is shriller than that of good dollars. The
Gaiks bywhich'they may be -known are as follows:
met-;? w -%ROLU%p,ca:s%, be larger than the
other letters in the word, and the U is a lithe
lower than the L before it: on the other fide of
the counterfeit dollars of tnat date trie words LT
IND appear like one word, 'thus ETIND, and in
the word REX the X is apparently lower than
the RE. ~„.
It would be of grekt public utility if people id
general would be more cautio .show they receive
money; and uypri detcEtinq counterfeits, 'endea
vour to trace where it came from, that taele peds
to fuciety, who employ their time in f;is infamous
business mav be brought to the punishment which
their crimes merit.
A number of French &;M, or 'coppers, are by
these money-making artists, gilded over, and are
palled muidores, or pieces of gold of the value of
365. lawful: a moil daring traud.
