London, July 29. The account of the late action between the
Americans and the troops of General Gage is one of the most
evasive and unsatisfactory that was ever yet obtruded on the
publick, . . . [16 lines] With all the vanity of a military
man, he praises the conduct of the officers under his
command; but prudently omits to say whether any such
advantage has been gained as may make up for the loss of 1
Lieutenant-Colonel, 2 Majors, 7 Captains, 9 Lieutenants, 15
Serjeants, 1 Drummer, 191 Rank and File, killed, and . . .
40 Serjeants, 12 Drummers, and 706 Rank and File, wounded,
and unfit for service. . . [1 paragraph]
