REVOLUTIONARY WAR INFORMATION

DETACHMENT ORDERS.
ELIZABETH TOWN, SEPTEMBER 5, 1794.

MAJOR GENERAL DAYTON flatters himself that he has only to make known to the troops under his command the General Orders of the 1st instant, which are subjoined, in order to ensure a prompt and exact compliance with them.

Trenton, 1st September, 1794.

By the command of the President of the United States, the troops in requisition from the State of New-Jersey, which were detailed from MAJOR GENERAL DAYTON'S command, and from the Cavalry and Artillery of this State, by orders of the 23d of August last, are to rendezvous at Trenton, where they will be provided with every thing necessary for the expedition, and wait further orders. Despositions have been made by order of the national executive, for the supply of provisions, forage, fuel and transportation to the general rendezvous at Trenton, where they will be met with tents and camp equipage necessary for their march. The troops from the 2d division will take up their line of march by the most direct route to New-Brunswick, where they will apply to MR. JOHN BRAY for provisions and forage, and those of the 3d, 4th, and 1st divisions to Trenton, to which place the troops of the 2d will also proceed. The stipulated price of rations will be allowed from the time of march, till their assembling at Trenton, to such as may not draw from the public stores, and chuse to furnish themselves; but if intermediate appointments are judged necessary for accomplishing their march, after receiving marching orders, which period the officers commanding companies, &c. are required to note with precision, together with the names of the places where they halt each night on the route.

The strictest regard to discipline and good order is to be observed on the march, and the rights of property are to be serupulously preserved to individuals.

By Order of the Commander in Chief,
ANTHONY W. WHITE, Adj. Gen.

These are to be regarded as the final and positive Marching Orders for the corps of 1500 men last detailed, and the Brigadier Generals of the detachment will accordingly send forward, without lots of time, their respective quotas of men and officers, by the routes, and under the regulations prescribed, to the general rendezvous, at Trenton, where they will be united, and form one corps, and be met by BRIGADIER GENERAL BLOOMFIELD, who is to command them,

The necessary Staff will be nominated by the Brigadier General, who is to make report to, and receive his orders, from the Commander in Chief.

By Order of MAJOR GENERAL DAYTON,
MATTHIAS WILLIAMSON, Aid-de-camp.
