The tranfports were aflembled, and troops embarked, as if an expedition had been intended up the North River againft Weft Point ; and by fuch indications general Wafhington was fo far alarmed, that he actually marched from his camp in the Jerfeys towards the North River. But he marched with great deliberation, cautioufly intending not to remove too far from Morris-town, until the future movements of fir Henry Clinton, fhould enable him to difcover his real intention ; and he had pro- ceeded onl...y fifteen miles, when information was brought to him, that the Britifh troops, inftead of going up the North River, were inarching out in force towards Springfield. General Wafhington, immediately halted, and fent back a detachment to reinforce general Green ; but before it arrived the action at Springfield was over, and the Britifh troops had retreated to Elizabeth-town. The real object of the expedition was probably againft the American magazines at Morris-town : But the oppofition made at Springfield was an indi- cation to the commander in chief, that every mile of his future inarch through a country naturally difficult, and abounding with ilrong pafTes, would be not lefs obftinately difputed, and determined him to abandon an enterprife, which, even if it fhouM be fuccefsful, might coft him too much ; more efpecially as the expected arrival of a powerful French armament on the coaft of America, obliged him not to engage In any expedition that would either require much time, or carry him a confiderable diftance from New York.
