surrender of Lord Cornwallis and his army must undoubtedly
produce the most happy effects to the British nation, by
accelerating the termination of the war and the views of the

taken off a man who was inimical to the glory of Sir Henry
Clinton, and perpetually counteracted his manoeuvres. In a
word, no one can tell or foresee the happy consequences of
this important event, Nevertheless, the subscriber finds it
convenient, for various reasons to remove to Europe. All
persons therefore, who have any demands against, or are
indebted to him, are requested to make a speedy settlement
of their accounts. Notice is also hereby given, that the
