_Close of the Struggle_.
On the 25th of November, 1783, the British army evacuated New York.
The independence of the United States had been acknowledged by the British Government and the war was ended. During the following month most of the Continental troops from Loudoun returned to their homes, many of them to spend the remainder of their days in hard-earned peace.
