Extrad of a letter from Amflerdam, dated September
1780.
“ The principal subject of news that we have here
at present, is the armed neutrality, which you will
have heard of already, namely that the Englilh, vex
atious in bringing up all vessels of neutral powers,
without diftinaion, have at length caused an alliance
between Russia, Sweden and Denmark, and our states
to protest each others trade, to which purpose every
one of these four powers, are to bring a fleet to sea: the
Ruffian ar.d Danish, together, 32 ships, are alreaay
cruizing in the channel, and the Swedes and Dutch,
who will make out more than that number, will soon
follow : our dates alone are resolved to put 52 ships in
commission."

" Lord Cornwallis has retreated to a place called
Winsborough, about 40 miles from C mden, on the
road between that and Ninety-Six; where he has ta
ken poss.—There have been two small adion's between
Tarlton's corps and general Sumpter: The firft you
have already had an account of; the last we have but
a very imperfect accountof yet: however, the report
of it fays it was a very obstinate fight, in which Tarl
ton and Sumpter were both wounded ; Tarlton mortal
ly in the groin, and Sumpter in the shoulder or arm
slightly : the latter kept the field, and has taken and
killed one hundred and fifty of the enemy.
“ General Gates puffed along here a few days ago,
at the head of twelve hundred regulars, the remains of
the Delaware and Maryland lines, and one regiment of
the Virginia regulars.
" I underhand there is a great number of eighteen
months drafts on their march from Virginia to join
general Gates, which are expe&ed here in a few days."
