General Wayne’s march (from the situation of the public finances) has been hitherto unfortunately delayed; The Board however have wrote to him to-day to press his departure in the strongest manner; and they hope that his difficulties are so far surmounted, that he will immedy set out with his detachment. They have the honor to inclose a copy of the letter they wrote to him.
