British Privateers and Movements Near Washington
A Milford Haven report says Lord Percy with 6000 men has landed near Hudson River and taken a rear port, cutting off Washington's magazines, with rumors troops hold New York magazines. A further 5000 men under Erskine reportedly turn Washington’s left flank while Howe’s main force advances. Howe's army blocks the Provincial army, forcing surrender. Other ships, the Betty and Elizabeth, are captured by American privateers, and the Capes ships fall to 12-gun privateers. The Dorothy is taken off Viana, possibly bound for Spain, as Cadiz reports orders for strangers to depart.

Extra of a letter from Portmouth Dec. 13 describes the Comptroller and Navy Commissioners examining the dockyard for late freights and suspicions yielding groundless results. Rope-house loss prompts rope-makers to move to other yards until a temporary facility is built. Admiralty ships and clerical promotions are noted along with local trials, a barber scene at Guildhall, and a murder verdict in Littleport.
