{"value"=>"A flag of truce has just arrived bringing officers of the late flourishing navy from Charleston, and confirming the news of the affair at that place; Gen. [Wm.l Heath is in Providence waiting the arrival of the allies; predicts that the defeat at Charleston will rouse those states now slumbering on the precipice of danger; hopes Clinton may not return to New York before new levies can be sent to the continental army; is settling with Mr. Reynolds about the Holts [?]; some affair of the estate; thinks he will join Gen. Heath's suite, and leave when he does; is getting ready to move at a moment's notice; thinks it is time for the \"Mobility\" to take the government again and send to the shades those tories who are exulting in the misery of the patriots; longs to be at the head of a mob to spread terror through Massachusetts."}
