Dear Sir: Your favors of the 21st

quired no particular answer, | did not

you must have seen the resolve Of
congress by which Captain Asgill was
released. All things considered, l
question whether the determination Of
congress upon the proceedings of Lip
~pincott's court martial would have
been different from what it has been,
had not the courts of France inter
cejed warmly in Captain Asgills
favor, but after a request made by the
prime minister in which he expresses
the wishes of their majesties that
Captain Asgill's life might be saved
there was scarcely no possibility of
refusing, more especially as Sir Guy
Carleton promised to prosecute still
further the persons who might be
found guilty of>Captain Huddy's muir

begged him to inform me what steps
had been taken.
The report that General Carleton
had pledged his word that during his
command no small parties should
come within the American lines or
to any part Of our shores is not lit.

licve that he has taken measures to
discountenance and discourage all acts
OF violence on the part of the refugees.
Indeed we had an instance of 1t a
few days past. Two of Sheldon's
Dragons were taken of their post by
a party Of refugees from Monisania,
and carried off to Kings Bridges. They
were Immediately returned with their
horses. arms and accoutrements to
Colonel Sheldon, intimating that as
they had been captured without proper
authority It was not thought justihable
to detain them. Upon the whole, sir,
! cannot help hoping that the savage
kind Of desultory war which we have
long experienced is at an end.
Thee will be no occasion for you
any longer keeping a lookout upon the
coast, or a communication with Morris
Town. But should there in future be
any uncommon arrival AT New York
either OF ships OF war or transports
with troops. or should an embarka-
ton Of any consequence take place,
you will very much Cblige me by send

have been incurred by you in this
