The Newport Gazette

A correspondent declares that the defeat of General Burgoyne has proved a fortunate event to this country. It has produced a declaration from the Minister, who conducts the war, that the present force in America, and the present plan of conducting the war, will not be sufficient for the reduction of the colonies. This has roused the rest of the Ministry, and the sleeping spirit of the nation in general, to make such an increase in the royal forces, as to finish the war with success in the ensuing campaign, when if Gen. Burgoyne had not crossed the river, and wintered his troops without annoyance from the provincials, the next campaign would have been opened with these insufficient forces, and we should not have discovered our error till the end of the next campaign instead of this.
