" AM pretty well informed, 3that the Toriee who remained in Phili

Redu- Coun , now avow themselvet hauneh friend: to Amenca,
although they ut : few week- eFo were fervently praying for General
[lowe, but they have seen, felt, ear, and hate him now as much as any
.bod . In short, the succest of the northern ermy, and the bravery of
the little fleet end garrisona, at the pafl'et of Deleware liver, have put
on: thin in : much better poshm than they were six week- ago, so that
even the eredit os eontinental money begint to mead in this country,
