where we did not enter as we expected we
ehould-victors we were received by the
good Gen SCHUYLER. his wife and daughters,
not as enemies, but as kind friends; and they
treated us with ihe most marked attention and
politeness, as they did Gen. BURGoyNE, who
had caused Gen. ScHuYLER's beautifully fin
ished house to be burned; in fact, they behaved
like persons of exalted minds. who determined
to bury all recollection of their o,cn injuries in
the contemplation of our misfortunes. Gen.
BURGoYNE was struck with Gen. ScHuYLHR's
generosity, and said to him." You shop me

injury" "Ihat ,cas the fate Of ,rqr, replied the
