A itory prevailed a few days paft, that Capt.
Bark was dead, and that Lieut. Morgan could not
iurvive, his wounds thought to be mortal.—Oti Sa
turday the 24th inftant, a number of oiRcers and
privates came through our town, belonging to Col.
Gibfon's 2d regiment of Levies, who informed me
that Capt. Dark and Lieut. Morgan were likeiy to
recover (and that without doubt)—That Coionel
Dark arrefted Major Hamtramack of the ift Uni
ted States Regiment, for refuling to go in the rear
to relieve the wounded.—That Col^ Dark in per
son (though wounded and much fatigued in the
battle) with a party of his own command, went
back arid brought oiLa number of the unfortunate,
which muft otherwiie undoubtedly have fell a vie

^ The ciaiiiis of the American loyalifts having
appeared enormonfly great to the Britifh parlia
ment, and objected tc^. oh that account in the Houfe
&f Commons, a Mr. Anftey was lent over to Ame
rica to examine into the claims of fuch loyalifts as
were fuppofed to Have exaggerated their Ioffes.—
When Anftey arrived^ the claimants entertained him
with dinners arid with dances; inftead ol money.—
The confequence was, that He returned to England
with a veryyvm?/-aiA- report upon their claims, and
foon after his arrival the commidioners of al
lowed him three thoufand one hundred and fifty
pounds fterlingforhis fervices!—Of the claims of
the loyalifts, in general, little need now be faid,
hio're than there are gentlemen, who can make it
appear evidently clear, that upwards of feven hun
dred thoufand pounds fterling has been claimed from
England by the royal refugees, aw? than thg
claimants were ever worth, in the ftate of New
Yorkonly."
By reafon of the feverity of the weather laft
