.the two urmics lie with'm view of each
other, only about two miles distant, and
that a general action is hnuz'ly expected.
A gentlchn from Dumf'rlcs writes, that
by & lctt:r just received from general
YVashington's hcad—qnzmers, from an us
hcer of'note, We took 89 prisoners in the
late action, nncl killed ;: considcruble
number, with a very moderate losi on
our side. There were about. 1000 of
the 'enemy who engaged wish our third
regimentosVirginians, nnd draught: from
several northern rc inicnt's. They "all
behavcd with great ravcry, and mssjur
Lcitch is much cxmllcd for his diffingmlh-.
ed behaviour; in so much that.— the enc
ra], after having returned hi- thumu to
the officers and so!dicljs, gave out as parole

major in out of danger from his wounds.
His cxccllcncy general LLLE lay ac New

pofl'mg 10 general Wushhzg'tou'l head
quarters. Between these two great {ge
nerals, with the affistancc cf thcyotzcr
officers, and our brave sold'sers, it is not
doubred but we shall before long be sur
nished with qefreshingnch sisiom our army,
viz. the tom] discomficuu of Howe, with
his Britons, answickcrl, Hcflians, and
the whole trlbc of ministerial hireling-s.
Extract of a letter fiom :; gentleman in
Philadalphia, dalcd Scpc. no, 1776.
_ " We have received the general's ac
count of the late action; it wan but a small
asctir, but has given fresh spirits to our
army. The enemy, with about 1000
then, attacked our out pusts, and, after
a smart sight ofnbout 15 or 2: minutco,
were defeated, with the loss of between
80 and too mcnkillcctd and wounded. Um'
gd regiment (col. Wczdon':) was in the -
action, and behuvcd gallantly; they have
received the general's thanks, in phblick
orders. Mujur Leitch had three ball:
through his body, but it is thou rht none
are mortah Col. V'Jeedon's thigh was
brniscd, by & fpcnt ball sh'ikiu tho; guard
of his sword. This regimcntsiztd omen
sign wounded {lightly, a serjmmt and on:
private killed, !: privntcs wounded, and
two missing- Our who]: loss in this battle
is very inconsiderablc , except :: colonel osthe
eastcrn troops, who was a very bren . man.
" Lord l-lowe had made so many pub
lickdcharations of 11}; ample powcrs, and
inore ample wishes to do America good,
that it was judged proper to send & com
mittee os Congrcsii to cdnscr with him.
The result you will see in the paper now
sent; and it will add, if you want any
additional proof, to the many testimonics
we have had of the dcltlsive perfidyand
despotick designs of the British cvurt.-—
In Long lflaud, they have opcnc-Lsil what
they call courts of justice; and the first
fruits are, conhlcation ot eltates, and per
petual hnprishnmcnt .
" We have every reason to suppose the
French court will shortly break with Great
Britain. I do not thi ' that all the mean
snbmiffion and art of latter can much
longer delay that cvcn't."
