Yesterday evening the Resolve of Congress of Saturday was sent enclosed by Mr Dickson (1) with an Account of the Recet of 52,000 Dollars received by the Delegates, out of which 13,000 Dollars was paid to the York & Cumberland County Comissrs. The Remainder being 39,000 Dollars & 100,000 Dollars received this day is forwarded by the Sherif of York County, as there is not a Moment to be lost he is sent to day, which will we hope prevent the trouble of sending to the River as mentioned in the Postscript of yesterdays Letter. As the Superintendts are dismounted on the East side the River, it might not have been so proper to apply to the usual place for a Guard & Convoy & makes it more necessary for the Comrs. on the East side to exert themselves, lest the Army should suffer.
