THE militaty letters from Long [Hand, and the ttsiiunpham exalta
tion: of the- ministclia] partisans, would fain pertuade us, that the
sight of .1 British t'oldier is sufficient to petrify an whole re iment of Ame
ricans. They mult surely think that thcinhabitants of 0 d Englmd have
drank det-ply of the waters of Lethe, and lost their memories as well al
their liberties, so soon to forget THE CARNAGE AT BUNKER't
HlLL, and :! still later incident, when his Mujesty'c troops muldbm
been in possession of Sullivan's [Hand, is they would have passed a son!
offimrfut twaler defended only by fifletn lnmdred of these toward! pro
vincials. To the adulatosy address of the city of York, ] wool hold
up the answer usthe provincial prisoners, when offered pardon by HOWE,
