Eighth Lineage Events and War News From 1776 UK Dispatches
In London yesterday a chapter of the Thistle elected the Marquis of Lothian and Major Cuyler was presented to the King at St James's. Reports from Quebec mention General Carleton and Lord Stirling on parole, with word of Burgoyne’s four-column attack on Provincials. A Dublin copy notes Burgoyne’s force defeats 5,000 Provincials, enabling a New York advance, while Windsor dispatches recount transport officers’ testimony of Marblehead forts and rebels’ ships and a possible Spanish frigate outfitting.
