The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

HARTFORD. November 20.

All the late New York papers have at length confessed the surrender of Lord Cornwallis to the rebels: They have even condescended to insert the articles of capitulation verbatim from the Philadelphia gazettes. The women are in tears. the soldiery in a panic, the merchants selling off their goods for much less than the first cost in Europe. the tories are in the utmost consternation and Benedict Arnold himself, it is said trembles like an aspen leaf. --In the midst of this scene of distress and wretchedness, with a superior French Fleet on the coast ready to swallow them. the demagogues of that city are publishing in their gazettes contents of rebel mails and criticisms upon poems written by the King of Prussia; which conduct is full as ridiculous and stupid as it a criminal on his way to the gallows, and sitting on his coffin. should at the same time be amusing himself with Ben Jonson's jests, or writing strictures on the style and language of the sheriff's warrant which condemns him to be hanged.
