Howe is at present in Germantown w ashington, thirty miles back, in a shattered condition--Their stoutestfrigate taken and one deserted They are tired-a and talk of Tinishing the campaign" The tory typo must have been exhausted at this effort to glorify Germantown, for when the news reached the city of the British army to. the northward having been burgoyned he could not set up one line of caps to catch the eyes of his subscribers. - Augustine O Amsrica7 History.
