Believes if one opens up it will be gone by the time Henry would forward the necessary instructions. Forwards a letter from Mr. Brett from Britain. Brett mentioned that "great apprehensions were entertained of disturbances in England." Reports that a large fleet has been ordered to be in readiness.

The King of Prussia was present at the battle, which proves he has not made a separate peace as was reported. Says the English stocks have fallen in London, while the American ones have risen.
