u deceive us. Brother! we are still strong for the king of England, if you will show us that he is a man of his word, and that he will not abandon his brothers, the Six Nations. The message of Little David, a Mohawk chief, from himself and the Six Nations to Assaragawa (General Haldimand), Carleton Island, 22 Aug., 1779. The savages ran no risk of a surprise; for, during all the expedition, Sullivan, who delighted in the vanities of command, fired a morning and evening gun. On the twenty-ninth he opened a distant and useless Aug. 29. cannonade against breastworks which British rangers and men of the Six Nations—in all about eight hundred—had constructed at Newtown; and they took the warning to retire before a party which was sent against them could strike them in the rear. The march into the country of the Senecas on the left extended to Genesee; on the right, detachments reached Cayuga lake. After destroying eighteen villages and their fields of corn, Sullivan, whose army

ng them away from the city, where their mere presence kept the love of independence alive. To seek Chap. XVIII.} 1780. Sept. 25. security by a threat of retaliation on innocent men was an unworthy act which received no support from Sir Henry Clinton.

His offence was so clear that it would have justified the promptest action; but, to prevent all possibility of complaint from any quarter, he was, on the twenty-ninth, brought before a numerous and very able board of 29. officers. On his own confession and without the examination of a witness, the board, on which sat Greene, second only to Washington in the service; St. Clair, afterwards president of congress; Lafayette, of the French army; Steuben, from the staff of Frederic the Second; Parsons, Clinton, Glover, Knox, Huntingdon, and others, all well known for their uprightness,—made their unanimous report that Major Andre, adjutant-general of the Br

was the grand point upon which a final settlement depended. If the treaty should break off, the whole business must go loose, and take its chance in parliament. Jay wished to know if Oswald could now conclude the treaty; and 28. Strachey answered that he could, absolutely. Jay desired to know if the propositions he had brought 29. were an ultimatum. Strachey seemed loath to answer, but at last said, no. That day, and the three following ones, the discussion was continued. On the twenty-ninth, Strachey, Oswald, and Fitzherbert, on the one side, and Jay, Franklin, Adams, and, for the first time, Laurens, on the other, came together for their last word, at the apartments of Jay. The American commissioners agreed that there should be no future confiscations nor prosecutions of loyalists; that all pending prosecutions should be discontinued; and that congress should recommend Chap. XXIX.} 1782. Nov. 25. to the several states and their legislatures, on behalf of the refugees, amn
