1779 Broadside The New American Treaty With France PROVIDENCE GAZETTE SUPPLEMENT
March 20, 1779-Dated Revolutionary War Printed Broadside: "SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROVIDENCE GAZETTE," Providence, Rhode Island, Printed by John Carter, with a report on The New American Treaty With France of July 27th, 1778, and a report headed: "TRENTON, February 3: Extract of a letter from Monmouth Court-House, January 29, 1779.", Fine or better.
March 20, 1779-Dated Revolutionary War Period, Printed Broadside, measuring 15.5" x 10.5". It contains an extensive report on The New American Treaty With France of July 27th, 1778 signed in the Text by King Louis, and a report headed: "TRENTON, February 3: Extract of a letter from Monmouth Court-House, January 29, 1779.", and has a report headed: "TRENTON, February 3: Extract of a letter from Monmouth Court-House, January 29, 1779." The latter report reads, in part:
"The Tory freebooters, who have their haunts and caves in the pines, and have been for some time past a terror to the inhabitants of this country, have, during the course of the present week, met with a very eminent disaster. On Tuesday evening last Captain Benjamin Dennis... was so fortunate as to fall in with them and kill them on the spot... This single piece of service was effected through the instrumentality of on John Van Kirk, who was prevailed upon to associate with them on purpose to discover their practices, and to lead them into our hands."
The front page introduction is taken up with European reports, including an important highly detailed, very extensive report on the July 27th, 1778 historic Treaty with France, (Signed in the printed text) by "LOUIS" (the King); and a failed attempt by the British to take Newport. Plus an early reported account of British espionage. Printed in black on light tan heavy rag period paper apparently made with scattered trivial small holes, the blank reverse centerfold is intact yet reinforced with a strip of archival tape reinforcement, one split at the bottom edge with a short strip of old tape not seen of the face side. A candidate for framing and display.
