watching the entrance of Boston Bay and
the third is off the Chesapeake. These di-

Erfracf Of a letter from, Saeket's Hartor.
dated November 10, 1912.
To day a flag arrived from Kingston
for Captain Brock, who will be sent home
tomorrow OH parole. BY a letter he re
ceived, 1t appears that the Royal George
was greatly damaged in the late action.
She had her deck and rigging very much
cut to pieces, aad had several men killed
on board.-Seven houses we're also beat down
by our cannon balls"
Extract from letter, dated Bufdloe,
November IS.
Al fairs are beginning to assume a much
more important aspect in this quarter -
The Pennsylvania troops, so long expected,
have just arrived, amounting to nearly
1000. 1t is said notice has this day been
sent across this river that the armistice will
be considered at an end tomorrow evening
at 9 o'clock. IF so. something will be done
or attempted to be done, within few DAYS.
1T is the opinion OF every well informed man,
that General Smyth will not have more
than 1000 effective men under his command
This force must be considered small To go
INTO an enemy's country for winter quarters,
but the attempt will undoubtedly be made,
ard time only can determine the result
he regular troops continue quite sickly,
but deaths are less frequent among them
than . few days since-one was shot for de-
scrtion Oh Monday last"
