            on a French frigate despatched by Admiral de Grasse rather than through the usual
            channels in the Foreign Office. Washington is demanding the return of all prisoners and
            cannon taken at York and Gloucester. Included in the paper enclosed is an extract of an
            account of General Greene's most recent action in South Carolina. Varick
