ELIZABETHTOWN (NEW-JERSEY) COMMITTEE TO NEW-YORK COMMITTEE.

Elizabethtown, Monday, July 17, 1775.

GENTLEMEN: We have this moment received from the Committee of Philadelphia four hogsheads, said to contain fifty-two quarter-casks of powder, which they direct to be conveyed to Dobbs' s Ferry, there to be delivered to the order of your Committee. We are sorry to say, that this powder has been coming from Philadelphia since the first instant; this accidental delay makes the utmost despatch necessary, which we doubt not you will promote as far as is in your power. We are, Gentlemen, your most humble servants,

JONA. HAMPTON, Chairman.

To the Chairman of the Committee of the City of New-York.

P. S. The powder will be at Dobbs' s Ferry by nine o' clock to-morrow morning.
