The Virginia Gazette

We learn that Captain Lockwood, last week, with a few continental troops, and some militia, made an excursion to Morrisania, ten miles from the city of New York, and surprised and took 20 prisoners, of Bearmore's corps, among whom was their new advanced partizan, Colonel Hatfield. They were in Mrs. Morris's house, and refused to surrender until it was set on fire; it is said the Major and four others were consumed in the flames. We also learn that some of the militia, though ordered off by Capt. Lockwood, were too tardy, and by their delay, about 40 of them were taken by the enemy's light horse.
