Woodworth formed the content of the newspaper using official documents, both American and British, and included a chronological index.

He moved to New Haven and continued to work as a printer.  In 1809 Woodworth settled in New York City, where he gained local recognition with the publication of three satiric poems between 1809 and 1812.
