{"value"=>"Congress has authorized the State to raise another battalion, to be commanded by Col. Lewis DuBois; five aid-majors may be appointed, to serve at the expense of the State; blank commissions are inclosed for them and for the officers of the Fifth Battalion; Gen. Washington is at Trenton; Cornwallis at Brunswick; the people of Philadelphia have recovered from their consternation and are going out in great numbers to join the army; nothing is known of the whereabouts of the troops under Gen. Lee; if Cornwallis does not advance until they have come up, there will be nothing to fear."}
