New-York, Sept. 5. Early on Monday last, John Jay, Esq;
(without the inhabitants being apprized of his departure)
set out from this city to attend the Congress at
Philadelphia; and on Thursday the first instant the other
four delegates took their departure for the like laudable
purpose.
Isaac Low, Esq; being under the necessity of going by way
of Powles-Hook, was escorted to the Ferry stairs by a
considerable number of respectable inhabitants, with colours
flying, music playing, and loud Huzzas at the end of each
street. When they got down to the river, he, in a very
polite manner, took leave of the inhabitants, six of whom
accompanied him and his Lady over, with music playing, God
save the King.
