This Day in History: June 21

From every information lately received, there is reason to beleive the Enemy are evacuating Brunswick by sending One Brigade after Another. It is said they are transporting their baggage both by Land and Water to Amboy with the greatest Industry. If this fact be true, I should suppose it highly expedient that you should detach a Number of Militia well acquainted with the Country South of Amboy, if you have any such, to take post along the River at and near what are called the Roundabouts. If they go there and the Enemy are conveying their Stores down the River, which I beleive is the case, I am persuaded, by a spirited exertion and vigilant conduct, they will intercept and possess themselves of a great part of it.
