The surrender of his Lordship was celebrated here on maderia, with a quantum sufficit of spirits, &c. A more sociable time I never experienced; every one was happy-many perfectly so, Indeed, the whole week has been but one continued hurrah, from right to left. As to the regimental matters, they are much in statu quo. Capt. Parsons joined us a few days since, and is now in command at New Bridge. Lt. Taylor, with a small command of chosen men, has now command. Officers has been absent near ten days; what the object of his expedition is remains a secret; but as we have heard nothing from him yet, except that he was at Stamford, we conclude he will effect nothing. We most sincerely wish to see you here as soon as the circumstances of your family will admit. Friend Ned, we expect, will return within a few days, as he proposed being absent but a short time. We have reports here that the Raritan fleet has returned much damaged, and that is all we know about it. However, it is the general opinion that the young Prince will have but a poor story to tell his dada when he returns.
