January 3, 1777. 
Alarmed by the success of the attack upon Trenton, the enemy 
immediately withdrew all their posts from the banks of the Del- 
aware, and concentrated their forces in Princeton and Brunswick. 
On the other hand, Gen. Washington, having received considerable 
reinforcements, re-crossed the river, and again took possession of 
Trenton, with a view to further offensive operations. On the 
of January, 1777, Lord Cornwallis, having resumed the command 
_ of the British troops, marched with his whole force to attack him, 
Washington, at his approach, abandoned the town of Trenton, 
and took his position on the south side of the creek. Some skir- 
mishing followed, and a severe cannonade, with an unsuccessful 
attempt to force the passage of the bridge, closed the events of 
the day. The British troops, to the number of near 10,000, occu- 
pied Trenton. One brigade was halted about six miles in their 
rear, and another brigade, composed of the 17th, A0th and 55th 
regiments, under the command of Col. Mawhood, passed the night 
at Princeton. All these eorps were ordered to unite at Trenton 
early in the following morning, with the expectation of over- 
whelming the Americans. :

* Madonna is technically applied by the Italians to the Virgin Mary, the mother 
of our Lord, and therefore emphatically our Lady ; ma, in ftalian, is my, and Don- 
na, Lady, literally therefore, my Lady. The Madonna wie the infant Jesus, has 
always been a favorite subject with the Italian artists; since, independently of 
religious motives, it is a subject which unites in one group, the two most beautiful 
jects in nature, a beautiful woman and a lovely infant.
