Philadelphia, July to.
Sunday morning a vessel arrived here from St. Croix,
at which place (when (he left it) a report prevailed,
and was very generally believed, that an aftion had
lately happened between the French' and British fleet's in
the Well- Indies, in which, it was said, the latter loft
several ships, &c.
By accounts from the eaflward we learn, that' art ad
vanced party of our troops on Tuesday morning last at
tacked Delaney's corps netr Kingibridge, by which
both fuffered much ; but no particulars of this matter
are yet received.
Friday last arrived at Chefler, a flag fromCharleftown,
with a number of the virtuous citizens of South-Caro
lina, who had been so unfortunate as to fall into the
enemy's hands at the surrender of that place. It is
with lingular fatisfadion we inform the public, that
the above flag isone of fix, appointed to bring to their
friends in this quarter, some of the very difireffed, btft
firm friends of the United States, who have fudained,
with the grea'eft patience and perseverance, the
hardships of a rigorous confinement on board British
prison ships in Charleftown harbour - a cartel having
been eflablifhed at that place for the exchange of all
prisoners (whether regulars or militia) to the ifth of
June, ult. Near 900 regular American officers and
soldiers were also embarked at Charleftown, to be
landed at Jamestown, Virginia, having been ex
changed by virtue of the cartel above mentioned.
Notwith flanding no official account of the surrender
of the important post of Augufla, in Georgia, has
been received by public authority, we can assure our
readers, that, that gallant and enterprising officer,
lieutenant colonel Le , with a detachment of the south
ern army, has reduced colonel Brown (who command
ed it) to furr nder at diferetion: whereby near 800
prisoners had fallen into our hands, together with a
variety of fiores, such as a large number -of blankets,
muskets, tomahawks, &c. to the amount of near 2000
of each article. This we have from authority we can
not doubt - and is confirmed by corresponding accounts
throug different channels.
Much lias bern said by our enemies, of a very ca
pital reinforcement being arrived about the beginning
of last month, at Charleflown, said to coniift of 4000
men. By persons who saw tee troops enter the
town, we are assured, that no more than 1500 effect
ives landed : Lord Rawdon immediately marched those
into the country for the relief of Ninety-fix, and
persons who went with them, forre little distance, fay,
they were in exceeding bad order, many of them
fainting at a little distance from the town, others dop
ing by reason of fuelled legs, &c and a party of them
were attacked by some of the brave yoemanry of South
Carolina, a few were killed, and near one hundred'
taken prisoners.
AS many persons lately exchanged as prison rs of
war, and others who have long chose to reside in
the colonies now in rebellion, have notwithflanding
such their absence, wivs and families Bill remaining
here, the weight of which, on all accounts, i?is equal
ly impolitic as inconfiflent should longer be fuffered
to rest on the government established here, and theier
sources of it.
The con mandant is therefore plea fed to direct that
all such women, children and others, as above descri
bed, should quit this town and province, on or before
the firft day of August next ensuing ; of which regu-•
Tations all such persons are hereby ordered to take no
tice, and to remove themselves accordingly.
By order of the commandant,-
C. FRASER,
Town-Major.
