ABSTRACT
ON the first evening that M’Ginnis occupied his forlorn habitation, he had to experience another mortification. His host, who had been out to get him some better refreshment, had heard a flying rumour, that the whole of the French army had surrendered prisoners of war to Marquis Cornwallis. This was certain, that the French forces had made no progress towards the capital, / and few of the inhabitants, as they passed along, had joined them.
