CHAPTER XL. MISCELLANEOUS EVENTS. WASHINGTON CLOTHED WITH THE POWERS OF DICTATOR. OPINIONS OF TRENTON. 1776. WHILE the land operations of the British and American armies were thus constant during the latter part of the year 1776, the Americans made considerable progress in the building of the ships of war which had been previously authorized. The Columbus and Hamden were at Providence nearly ready for sea on the second of November, but were soon shut up with the Warren and some smaller vessels,... by the British occupation of New- port. The Alfred had sailed and had already captured several valua- ble prizes. The New Hampshire, Raleigh, Randolph, Congress, Dela- ware. Montgomery and several other frigates were nearly finished but needed cannon. Thirteen had been launched, and two ships of the line and five additional frigates were on the stocks by the twenty-first of December. At that date Robert Morris sent to the American Commissioners at Paris a statement of the condition of public affairs, and then apologized for the apparently slow progress made in fitting out vessels to prey upon British commerce, by stating the want of heavy guns.
