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.
