Cambridge, July 13. Last Saturday morning, before day-
light, a party of our men marched towards the enemy's
advanced guard on Boston Neck, drove them within their
lines, burnt their guard-house (formerly the dwelling-house
of Mr. Brown) with several contiguous buildings, took two
guns, a halberd, and a drum. Not one of our men was either
killed or wounded. . . [4 more lines] We have undoubted
intelligence that General Gage's troops are much dispirited;
that they are very sickley, and are heartily disposed to
leave off dancing any more to the tune of Yankey Doodle.
