{"value"=>"He has sent [William] Hooper a copy of the convention by which Burgoyne surrendered his whole army; Howe is still in Philadelphia, but as Gates will now be able to reinforce Washington's army, his position will be precarious; the little fort and fleet still have the command of the river; after the loss of the Princess Augusta and the Liverpool in the attack of Oct. 23d it is hoped that the enemy will fail in their next attempt on Fort Mifflin; he sends no papers, there being no press here as yet; he is fatigued to death, attending Congress night and day."}
