General Gates has advanced a few steps from the entrance, to 
meet his prisoner, who, with General Phillips, has dismounted, 
and is in the act of offering his sword, which General Gates de- 
clines to receive, and invites them to enter, and partake of re- 
freshments. A number of the principal-oflicers of the American 
army are assembled near their general. : 
The confluence of Fish Creek and the North River, where the 
British left their arms, is shown in the distance, near the head of 
Col. Scammell; the troops are indistinctly seen crossing the creek 
and the meadows, under the direction of Colonel (since Gover- 
nor) Lewis, then quarter-master general, and advancing towards 
the fore-ground : they disappear behind the wood, which serves 
to relieve the three principal figures; and again appear, (gren- 
adiers, without arms or accoutrements,) under the left arm of 
General Gates. Officers on horseback, American, British, and 
German, precede the head of the column, and form an interesting 
cavalcade, following the two dismounted generals, and connect- 
ing the different parts of the picture.
