The column from New Bern was attacked on the 8th of March, at Wise's Forks, and driven back with the loss of several hundred prisoners.

What shall be dispatched may be one thing, or any thing, or every thing, in a former letter. No ships since the 11th, may be no ships come in, or no ships gone out.

The roads may be Yarmouth roads, or Grimsby, or, indeed, any where.
As far as such terms can be applied to any weapon, Yperite arrived to spread panic, and terror amongst the German formations.
