NEW YORK, July 6.

YESTERDAY general Wooster, and the officers of the Connecticut forces, dined at Samuel Francis's, in the fields, where an elegant entertainment was provided by the members of the New York military club. The day was spent in the utmost harmony, every thing conspiring to please, being all of one mind and one heart. The following loyal toasts were drank. 1. The King, and better counsellors to him. 2. The Hon. Continental Congress. 3. General Washington, and the army under his command. 4. The several Provincial Congresses, and Committees, in the confederated colonies. 5. A speedy union, on constitutional principles, between Great Britain and America. 6. Conquest and laurels to all those heroes who draw their swords in support of freedom. 7. Confusion and disappointment to the friends of despotism and the enemies of America. 8. May the disgrace of the rebels against the constitution be as conspicuous as that of the rebels against the house of Hanover. 9. All those worthies in both Houses of Parliament, who stood forth advocates for America and the rights of mankind. 10. The Lord Mayor and worthy citizens of London. 11. The glorious memory of king William. 12. The immortal memory of Hampden, Sidney, Warren, and every patriot who bled in defence of liberty. 13. May the enemies of America be turned into saltpetre and go off in hot-blasts. 14. May Great Britain see her error, before America ceases in affection. 15. May America ever be the dread and scourge of tyrants. 16. The daughters of America, in the arms of their brave defenders only. 17. Death and

jack-boots before dishonour and wooden shoes. 13. The glorious 19th of April, when the brave Americans convinced General Gage, and the friends of tyranny, that they dare fight, and conquer too.
