The whole army took up the line of march this morning five o'clock. I conjecture the whole of our army, I mean the French and our Continental troops, to be Fifteen Thousand Veteran Troops, besides the militia; they are so numerous that I have not been able to ascertain their number. The American army consists of six Brigades, viz: Col. Vons's, Lt. Col. Barber's and Lt. Col. Gemot's Battalion of Infantry will form one brigade and to be commanded by Brigadier Gen. Muhlenberg.
Col. Scammell's Reg't and Lt. Col. Hamilton's Battalion of Infantry and Harem's Reg't, a Brigade to be commanded by Brigadier Gen. Harem [sic].
Col. Gaskin's Virginia Reg't and the two Battalions of Pennsylvania's, a Brigade to be commanded by Brigad'r Gen. Wayne.
The two Jersey battalions and the Rhode Island Reg't, a Brigade to be commanded by Col. Dayton.
The third and fourth Maryland Regt's, a Brigade to be commanded by Brigad'r Gen'l Clinton.
The American troops encamped in a wood within a mile of the Enemy's left line and the French troops encamped on their right. Our troops remained under arms all night with their respective companies and platoons.
The French troops saluted Col. Tarleton's Horse with a few shot of three pounders which made them retreat immediately.
A number of prisoners taken this night who had been straggling through the country.
