By a gentleman who arrived in town yesterday from Crown Point, we learn that his Excellency General Washington, (after having made a tour to Crown Point) has returned to Albany on his way to the army. The same gentleman informs, that the Hon. Major-General Baron Steuben passed Crown Point a few days since, on his way to Canada. He is said to be on a tour to view the most proper places to establish garrisons on the frontiers, from the latitude of 45 deg. north, on the Lake Champlain, on the late established line to the mouth of the river Mississippi, for the defence of the frontiers. The greatest honor is due to this gentleman for his singular services in the display of the most consummate abilities in establishing complete discipline in the American army.
