Description
The reduction of South Carolina, the distress of the inhabitants of the provinces and their desire to return to the King's obedience, the reduced state of Mr. Washington's forces, the decay of the power of Congress, and the failure of their paper money, open a prospect for a speedy termination of the war; Clinton and Arbuthnot are commended for their services, and appointed Commissioners to treat for peace, with the same powers as those granted to Lord Howe and Sir William Howe; additional instructions are given.
