They were overtaken near Middlebrook, and invited by a written message from General Wayne, to appoint one man from each regiment to state the grievances of which they complained.
In consequence of this invitation, a sergeant from each regiment met the officers at their quarters, and some verbal communications were made, from the complexion of which sanguine hopes were entertained that the affair might be terminated without farther hazard, or much injury to the service.
On the following day, the line of march was resumed, and the soldiers proceeded to Princeton.

The propositions of the general and field officers were reported to them, and a committee of sergeants, to whom they were referred, stated their claims.

These were, 1st.

A discharge for all those who had served three years under their original engagements, whatever those engagements might have been, and who had not taken the increased bounty, and re-enlisted for the war.
2nd.

An immediate payment of all their arrears of pay and clothing, as well to those who should be discharged, as to those who should continue in service.
3rd.
