Iiiwrtztlonce of The injudic'ious conduct Of General 'l‘ryon, formerly Got-'ic'c‘l- ")0"'l‘ryon, has been of infinite prejudice to the. caufe of the New ther Country. On the. firil arrival of the army here, he fullowcd the army whereevcr it marched, atli‘iiittitlcr‘iiig; oaths of allegiance to the inhabitantsY Thefe oaths were readily taken; and from the Gazettes we find, that the Governor did not Lofe fuch a favourable opportunity ot'pulling‘ off his alliduit}'-. As the army did not remain long in one place, the rehels again took polietiion, and barbaroully murdered feveral of Governor 'l'ryon's converts, forced others to join the rebel army, and plundered the effects of all who refutéd, meafure, letcrre This, has in :1 gl‘i‘ilt even the molt lmfal fuhicfts from taking A tlinn'and re- the oaths till they find they are to be protected. 7 In General Clinton's excurfion up the North River, mi" "‘41" it‘ll? :1 thoufand front fellows came to claim the benefit of their proclamation, and propofed to enlift in the new corps ; but General Tryon, who never let 1le any opportunity of appearing con- fequcntial, immediately affeinhled them together, pronounced a pompous fpeech to them, and tendered the oath to them with much formality. The country folks took the oath with great til: "51 cannot he .7 i'ipoligl to potlvfs or lltfi‘EUth" foreign troops ; and -)r. that account, they attach with more aliciitj, and retift "'th more firmnefs. It has been the policy of the rebels, always when opportunity ofiercd, to attack the foreigne rs in preference to the Britifh ; as on them they found, l.,~.' emerience, they could more readily make. an irnprellion. This "was ftrongly verified in General Burgoync's (dill-rent engagements. The Hetlian Grenadiers are. noble troops, and form an exception to thefe ohll'rvarions in fome degree.
