Full Description:
Dalrymple and Elliot to Knox and Morris. Elizabeth Town. Though the paper delivered to them yesterday by Washington's Commissioners puts an end to all treaty on that part of the first proposition which respects a general cartel, they propose to proceed as usual in the exchange of all prisoners of war, both naval and military within their precincts. For the residue that remain, they suggest that a 'liberal ransom' may be accepted by the enemy as a compensation for their liberation and maintenance.
