Philadelphia, November 20.  Part of a letter from Prospect
Hill, camp at Cambridge, dated November 9.
I am now to inform you, . . . that about 2 o'clock this
afternoon we discovered a party of the ministerial troops
landing from a number of boats, on Litchmore's Point.  Our
drums immediately beat to arms, by order of General Green,
and our men, with all possible expedition, manned the lines.
