WILLIAMSBURG, (Virginia) Deceriben,
/^WO companies of choice riflemen have arrived
at head-quarters this week, who are well arm
ed, coHin^nded bv Capt. Campbell of Fincaftle, and
Capt. Giofon of Welt Augusta. Captain Morgan
Alexander, with his rifle company, is expected this
day ; as fine men, we hear, as ever w^re seen.
Seven sailors, deserters from the men of war at
Norolk, came to town this week. They were
pressed men, andfaytheie is hardly a tailor on board
the Grips but would run away if he had an oppor
tunity.
From undoubted authority we can assure the Pub
lic, that effectual measures are fallen upon to sup
ply all theColonies with fa/t, in a short time, as well
as with another article, which there is the greatest
probability will be much used in the Ipring.
The 250 Highlanders lately arrived, with their
wives and children, who were bound for Cape Fear,
but brought into Norfolk by feme of the tenders to
recruit Lord Dunmore's army, (a molt inhuman
proceeding, but of a piece with the rest of tys con
du&) have petitioned Col. Woodford to fail upon
some method to have them lent to the place of their
destination,— The inhabitants of Norfolk have like
wise sued for protection.
A flag of truce came in to Col. Woodford a few
days ago, from Lord Dunmoie, proposing an ex
change of prisoners, which was brought by Lieut.
' Wallace/of the 14th regiment, and a certain Mr,
Blair, late of Smithfield, Merchant. Col. Wood
ford returned for answer, that he (hould consult the
Honourable Convention, and acquaint him with
thei r determination.
The gentlemen who are now prisoners with Lord
Dunmore are, Col. Hutchings, Col. Lawson, Capt.
Hunter, Mr. Thoroughgood, and twelve private
men —He hrs sent t) Boston Mr. Robinson, one of
the Delegates for Prmcefs Anne, with Capt. Mat.
thews and Capt. Deane. —Capt. William Goodrich,
whom he lately took prisoner in Nanfemond, is sent
out, it is Did, in one of the tenders.
Ris Did Lord Dunmore intends shortly for the
Weft-Indies with his cargo of slaver, to make the
mod of them before his departure for England ; as
by letteis lately received, it is affirmed that he would
be speedily recalled, his conduct in Virginia being
much censured by the Minittry.
Dec. 16. Last Tuesday a veftlfrom the Weft In
dies, for Norfolk, was made a prize of by a party of
our troops, and carried into Hampton. Her cargo
(which was intended for the use of our enemies)
confined of 2700 dollars, a large quantity of sugar,
and several hogsheads of rum.
“ Great Bridge, near Norfolk, Dec. 9.
"The enern y were reinforced about 3 o'clock
this mornihg with (as they tell mt) every soldier of
the 14th rep nent, at Norfolk, amounting to 200,
commanded by Capt. Leslie; and this morning, af
ter reveille beating, crossed the bridge, by laying
down feme plank, and made an attack to force our
break-work (the prisoners fay the whole number
amounted to 500, with volunteers and blacks) with
two pieces of cannon, but none marched up but his
Majetty's soldiers, who behaved like Englishmen.
We have found of their dead Capt. Fordyce and 12
privates, and have Lieut. Battit, who is wounded
in the leg, and 17 privates prifonerk, all wounded,
They carried their cannon back under cover of the
guns of the fort, and anumber of their dead. I
Should suppose (to speak within compass) their loss
must be upwards of 50. Some powder and cartridg
es were taken. I sent an officer to inform them if
they would not fire upon our people they (hould
collect the dead and wounded. This they agreed to,
and there has been no firing since. We are row
under arms, expecting another attack. There is
but one man of ours hurt, and he is wounded in the
hand. The prisoners inform that Lord Dunmore
has got a reinforcement of highlanders ; the,, I ex
pea, will be up next."
ExtraN of a letter from Col. Woodford to Edmund
Pendleton, Est; Prefdent of the Convention.
" Great Bridge, Dec. 10, 1775.
" I must apologize for the hurry in which [ wrote
you yesterday, since which nothing of moment has
happened but the abandoning of the fort by the
enemy. We have taken possession of it this morning,
and found therein the stores mentioned in the en
closed lift, to wit, 7 guns, 4 of them sorry, 1 bayo
net, 29 spades, 2 (hovels, 6 cannon, a few fliot, some
bedding, a part of a hogshead of rum, 2 or more
barrels, the contents unknown, but supposed to be
rum, 2 barrels of bread, about 20 quarters of beef,
half a box of candles, 4. or 5 dozen of quart bottles,
4. or 5 iron pots, a few axes and old lumber ; the
fpikes,T find, cannot be got out of the cannon with
out drilling.
“ From the vast effufion of blood on the bridge,
and in the fort, from the accounts of the sentries,
who saw many bodies carried out of the fort to be
interred, and other circumstances, I conceive their
loss to be much greater than I thought it yesterday,
and the viapry to be complete. I have received no
late information from Norfolk or Princess Anne,
nor yet fixed on a plan of improving this advantage.
I nave dispatched scouting parties, and from their
intelligence (hall regulate my future operations.
“ Enclofedis an inventory of the arms, &c. taken
yesterday, to wit, 2 silver mounted fuzees with bay
nets, I Reel ditto without bayonet, 2, well fixed
mufquets with bayonets, 6 mufquets without bayo
nets, 2S cartouch boxes and pouches, 3 silver mount
ed cartouch boxes, 2 cannon do. 26 bayonet belts,
27 caps, 2 hats, 1 barrel with powder and cartridges,
I fiik handkerchief with linen in it, 2 watches, cash
12s. 61. I pair of gloves, 4. docks and buckles, 1 pair
of silver flioe-buckles, 3 pair of silver knee-buckles,
2 fnuff-bjxes, io knives, 1 barrel with ball and
oakum, 12 coats, 12 waistcoats, 11 pair of shoes, 12
pair of garters, 1 pair of breeches, 1 shirt, 1 pair of
Dockings, a parcel of oldknee-buckles, a parcel of
old buttons, and 1 black handkerchief.
“ the arms I shall retain for the life of the army;
the other articles I (hall dispose of at vendue, and
-pply the money arising from the sale in such man
ner as the Convention th ill be pleased to direct.
" Lieutenant Battit having an inclination to in
form the King's troops of the humane treatment
he has met with here, I dispatched Ensign Hoomes
with a frig of truce, who returned with the enclosed
answer from the commander of the fort, viz.
“ ,C> ptain Leslie piefems his compliments to Mr.
«' Bitrit, and returns Col. Woodford his sincere
“" thinks for his kind treatment of the prisoners.
" He is happy Mr. Battit's wound is so flight, but
“ is extremely sorry for the loss of poor Fordyce."
“ The unfortunate Capt. Fordyce was a Captain
of the grenadiers, of the 14th regiment ; most of the
foldie;s were grenadiers of that regiment. As the
Captain was a gallant and brave officer, 1 promised
to inter him with all the military honours due to
his great merit, which I hope will meet with the ap
probation of the Hon. Convention.
" About 250 Carolina men are arrived under
the command of Cel. Vail; they are composed of
regulars, minute-men, militia, and volunteers, and

Subscriptions at Ten Shillings per Annum, Advertisements, &c. are thankfully received for this Paper.
If it were possible the understanding of men could
be so blinded that every gleam of reason might be
loft, the hope his Lordship fays he hath ever enter
tained of an accommodation between Great-Britain
and this Colony might now pass unnoticed; but
truth, justice, and common sense, must ever pre
vail, when fa&s can be appealed to in their support.
It is the peculiar happiness of this Colony that his
Lordfllip can be traced as the source of innumerable
evils, and one of the principal causes of the misfor
tunes under which we now labour. A particular
detail of his conduct since his arrival in this Colony
can be considered only as a repetition, it having
been already fully published to the world by the
proceedings of the General Assembly, and a former
Convention ; but the unremitting violence with
which his Lord (hip endeavours to involve this coun
try in the most dreadful calamities constantly af
fords new matter for the attention of the public,
and will remove every imputation cf ingratitude to
his Lordship, or of injustice to his chara&er. His
Lordfllip is pleased to ascribe the unworthy part he
hath taken against this Colony to a necessity arising
from the conduß of its inhabitants, whom he hath
considered in a rebellious state, but who know no
thing of rebellion except the name. Ever zealous
in support of tyranny, he hath broken the bonds
of society, and trampled justice under his feet. Had
his Lordship been desirous of effecting an accom
modation of these disputes, he hath had the most
ample occasion of exerting both his interest and abi
lities ; but that he never had in view any such salu
tary end most evidently appears, from the whole
tenor of his conduct. The supposed design of the
Canada bill having been to draw down upon us a
merciless and savage enemy, the present manoeuvres
amongst the Roman Catholics in Ireland, and the
schemes concerted with Do&or Connelly, and other
vile instruments of tyranny, which have appeared
by the examination of the said Connelly, fortify
the supposition, and most fully evince, his Lord-
Flip's inimical and cruel difpofrtion towards us, and
can belt determine whether we have been wrong in
preparing to resist, even by arms, that fykem cf ty
ranny adopted by the Ministry and Parliament of
Great-Britain, of which he is become the rigid ex
ecutioner in this Colony. The many depredations
committed also upon the inhabitants of this Colony,
by the tenders and other armed vessels, employed
by his Lord ship for such purposes, the pilfering and
plundering the property of the people, and the ac
tual reduction and leizure of their Baves, were truly
alarming in their effects, and called aloud for justice
and refinance. The persons of many of our peace
able brethren have been leized and dragged to con
finement contrary to the principles of liberty, and
the constitution of our country. Yet have we borne
this injurious treatment with unexampled patience,
unwilling to shed the blood of our fellow lubje&s;
who, prosecuting the measures cf a British Parlia
ment, would facrifice our lives and property to a
relentless fury, and unabating avarice. If a Go
vernor can be authorifed, even by Majesty itfelf,
to annul the laws of the land, and introduce the
most execrable systems, the law martial; if, by his
single fiat he can faip us of our property, can give
freedom to our servants and (laves, and arm them
for our deftru&ion ; let us bid adieu to every thing
valuable in life, let us at once bend our neck to the
galling yoke, and hug the chains prepared for us
and our latelt porterity !
It is with incxprefUble concern we reflect upon
the distressed fituatien of feme of our unhappy coun
trymen who have thought themselves too immedi
ately within the power of Lord Dunmore, and have
been induced thereby to remain ina&ive. We la
ment the advantage he hath taken of their situation,
have brought with 'them 6 cannon. I have received
no certain account of Col. Howe, wheie he is, what
number of forces he commands, how armed and
provided, or when or where he intends to join me.
" I (hall pay a due regard to the reinforcements
you mention, and the ekablilhmentof the ports. I
am jult now informed by Lieut. Battit that a servant
of Major Marshall, who was in the party with Col.
Scott, and deserted, informed Lord Dunmore that
not more than 300 Ihirtmen were here : That im
prudent man caught at the bait, and dispatched
Capt. Leslie with all the regulars, who arrived at
the fort about 4 in the morning
" I have enclosed the Hon. the Convention a gene
ral return of the forces under my command, also a
lift of tick and wounded. It is my wifli to have or
ders for what is to be done with the wounded pri
soners, when able to travel. I recoiled nothing
more to add at present, than that I am, with great
refoed, your molt obedient servant."
The defeat of the British regulars at the Great
Bridge, lalt Saturday, (truck the enemy into such
dreadful conkernation and terror, that after aban
doning their fort, they thought it most prudent to
retire from Norfolk, and take refuge on board the
Blips. It is imagined our troops will take possession
of that place without opposition, and hoped they
will be able to drive the pirates from the harbowr.

soldiers killed and wounded in the battle amounted
to 102, ii only of the grenadiers having escaped.

Colony and Dominion of Virginia, afembled in
General Convention.
A DECLARATION.
WHEREAS Lord Dunmore, by his Pro
clamation, dated on board the ship William,
the 7th day of November, 1775, Lath presumed, in
dire& violation of the constitution, and the laws of
this country, to declare martial law in force, and
to be executed throughout this Colony, whereby
our lives, our liberty, and property, are arbitrarily
fubje&ed to his power and direction ; and whereas
the said Lord Dunmore, affumiiig powers which
the King himfelf cannot exercise, to intimidate the
good people of this Colony into a compliance with
his arbitrary will, hath declared those who do not
immediately repair to his standard, and submit in
all things to a government not warranted by the
constitution, to be in actual rebellion, and thereby
to have incurred the penalties infli&ed by the laws
for such offences ; and hath offered freedom to the
servants and slaves of those he is pleased to term
rebels, arming them against their makers, and de
stroying the peace and happiness of his Majesty's
good and faithful fubjedfs, whose property is ren
dered insecure, and whose lives are expoled to the
dangers of a general infurreftion : We, as guardi
ans of the lives and liberty of the people our con
stituents, conceive it to be indispensably our duty
to protest them against every species of despotism,
and to endeavour to remove those fears with which
they are so justly alarmed.
Impressed with a just and ardent zeal for the wel
fare and happiness of our countrymen, we trust
they will, on their part, exert themselves in de
fence of our common cause, and that we Shall all
acquit ourselves like freemen, being compelled, by
the disagreeable, but absolute necessity, of repelling
force by force, to maintain our just rights and pri
vileges ; and we appeal to GOD, who is the fore
reign ditpofer of all events, for the justice of our
cause, trusting to his unerring wisdom to direct
our councils, and give success to our ARMS,

hath offered freedom to such able-bodied (laves as

the good people of this Colony, giving thereby en
couragement to a general infurreriion, which may
induce a necessity of infli&ing the severest punish

act of the General Assembly new in force in this
co^ny, ^ is ena&ed, that all Negro or other (laves
conspiring to rebel or make infurre&ion, shall fut

C A MB RIDGE, December 14.
Teflerday afternoon an express arrived at bis Ex
cellency tbe General's from Marblebead, with advice,
that three men ofwar were seen off that harbour, and
that it was apprehended an attack upon tbe town was
intended. On tbe reception of this intelligence, Col.
Glover's regiment, with a company of artillery, mere
ordered to march immediately for that place.
Since tbe arrival of tbe abovementicned express we
bear, that tbe three men of war bad approached, by
yeferday noon, very near tbe mouth of Marblehead
harbour, and that all tbe militia of tbe neighbouring
towns were under arms—A very good fortification,
mounting about twenty pieces of good cannon, bad been
lately erefled at tbe entrance of feud harbour, so that,
we hope, any attempt for destroying tbe town will
meet with a vigourous and fuccefsful refinance.
r Since our laj? 5000 of tbe brave sons of New-Eng
land (3000 of this colony, and zooo from New Hamp
shire) have joined tbe Continental Army under tbe com

WATERTO W N, Decemberii.
It is reported that tbe piratical gentry and military
butchers of tbe town of Boson, not relijbing salt pro
vijions, which are too good for them, are equipping
men of war febooners with bay, wood, &c. on their
decks, to decoy our privateers, but their little arts,
like tbemfelves, are of no consequence; it is to be hoped
wefall have opportunity to convince them, that tbe
provifan vefels we have already capted will be but
tbe beginning of sorrow to them, in tbe comfortable
profpe& of a long cold winter : From such events
Should tbe, experience keen appetites, and have nothing
to eat, we Should acquiefee in Providence ; for as they
have pro^ea tbemfelves to have no fouls, there is no
need of concern for their wortblefs carcases. But we
fall not be regardless of their armed febooners, and
have no objection to tbe taking them, whenever tbe,
fball feeft to come in our way.

“ As to tbe affairs in this province, Ifuppofe, as

them to depend on the French inhabitants : Had it not
been for an Englijk gentleman, who was a greater
politician than himfelf, he would have font the few,
Britijb troops that now remain here to Bo,on, in that

from Gen. Howe, to march to Virginia to the alli
