{"value"=>"Congress has learned of the arrival of a ship from France with supplies; in answer to queries respecting Burgoyne's conduct in the Convention, General Gates explained that the military chest and standards were left in Canada, and also accounted for the arms being unfit for service, and the want of bayonet scabbards and cartridge boxes; wishes to know the result of Col. Bayard's and Mr. Young's business at camp; has not a copy of the resolution of the House on the quorum; the memorial of the House and Council has been laid before Congress and read twice; he has been unwell; an exact return of Burgoyne's army was received yesterday."}
