- "Inteligence" [Intelligence]. On May 3rd, a ship arrived in New York from England with Admiral Digby's fleet. A ship at New York on May 10th may have Admiral Arbuthnot and Prince William on board. Colonel Laurens sailed to France last winter, with orders by Congress to demand why they "protracted the War" in order to assist General Washington on the front. May 12th, an embarkation sailed from Sandy Hook with 2,000 men; Congress has moved from Philadelphia. Affairs in the South are said to be prosperous (General Cornwallis, General Phillips, and Baron Steuben mentioned). The Continental Currency is in a fluctuating state. It is speculated that the French have marched to West Point. New York newspapers expect Germany, Russia, and Sweden will take part with Great Britain. IEGOR Lot 702.
