Dispatch from Governor Tryon aboard the Duchess of Gordon reports the arrival of the British fleet under Admiral Shuldham at Sandy Hook and General Howe landing troops on Staten Island with loyalist support. He notes rebels entrenched near Long Island and New York, cannon, field artillery, and preparations to block North River passages.
