Hartford, November 13. By an officer who left the allied
army on the 20th ult. we are favoured with the following
narrative of their operations against, and the reduction of,
the British posts at York and Gloucester: . . [47 lines]
Our operations had now become so serious to the besieged,
that Lord Cornwallis was induced to beat a parley, and to
request a cessation of hostilities for 24 hours; that
commissioners might be appointed by both parties to treat on
the surrender of the posts of York and Gloucester. . . [86
lines]
