" Dearly beloved brethren."
JOYFUL days at length have come!
Sound the trumpet, fife and drum;
Let the bagpipes squeak it briskly,
And the banjer strike up frifkly ! —
See! Us tories, all converted!
Since by George, our friend, deserted!
O what fools we all have been,
'Elfe the change, we had forefeet!
Long before the present date;
But our pride involv'd our fate ; f
Yet we find, we're not too late, '
Such who to New-York have fled,
Are better there alive than dead;
But such of us who Raid behind,
May yet a better fortune find.
All turned whigs! we'll get in p'ace,
And aft with such peculiar grace,
That in due time we (hall be courted,
And our measures all fupported.l
Then our friends shall fafe return,
And no more in exile mourn.—
Our bonny Stewarts and Alexanders
Shall be dubb'd the chief commanders,
Under our auspicious reign,9
And a plundering war maintain
Against the Spaniards, for their dollars.
Mill'd piftoles, and golden collars
O how grand ! in dead of night
Wives and children 'tis to fright,
While the houses wrapp'd in flarho
Our great lenity proclaim !—
See! Ingratitude begins
To announce the people's fins;^
British goods and British ware
Is all they dream of—all their care!
Give 'em these, and as for France,
Let her flay at home and dance.
My joy's so great, I'm quite o'ercome,
And for a while may keep me dumb;
But firfl; I must make known my glory,
Being now a whig, tho' once A TORY.

L O N D O N, February 4.
A true copy of a letter from a Britifli officer on board
one of the transports lying in the harbour of Charlef
town, the day after that important garrison was
evacuated. Though in the hurry and confufion of
writing, the date is omitted, ir is never the less
genuine letter verbatim.
f " I take up my pen, my dear friend, in the midst
ol noise and coufufion, just to give you a short account
! he , re - de)lver y of this town to the Americans,
letterday morning closed the melancholy scene.
"The evacuation and re-possession of Charleflown,
rendered supremely melancholy on account of the un
happy loyalists, has been in other refpe&s the most li
beral of any tranfadion that has taken place since the
commencement of the war. It was evacuated and en
by tre " y ;— fi ^ nah were agreed upon and ad
hered to: of course, every thing was conduded with
the utmofi decency and decorum. The embarkation
lasted two days. I did not quit th^ towrt till the
American horse made there appearance below the
^tate-houfe. I then thought it high time to decamp.
“ The inhabitants and merchan s who thought pro
per to remain in town, were direded to keep within
their houses; all stores and warehouses were (hut up.
The streets, formerly crowded and cheerful to the view
now presented one mournful feene of the most compli
cated wretchedness. The poor uphappy loyalifls
whom the British government, not many months be
fore, had most folembly pledged its fifth to protest in
their perlons and properties, were now to be left vic
tims to their merciless enemies, or to be sent on board
vessels for the Weft Indies, to encounter, with their
distressed families, every misfortune, and to fuffer every
species of indigence and want in a strange and. Ma
ny, indeed, remained in the town, preferring the rifque
of immediate death to the crenel uncertainty of adher
ing any longer to a government, whole perfidy and
treachery ftanda unparalleled in the annals of history.
But by far the greater number, whole activity in the
cause of their king and the Brii(h confutation, left no
hopes for mercy, embarked. As these past the win
dows of their friends and acquaintances, in their way
to the places of embarkation, they silently, with grief
unutterable, bowed their last farewell. This melancho
ly salute was returned with feelings that could only
be exprehed by tears and fobs. A gloomy des
pair fat on every countenance ; and all was wretched
ness and woe. The feene was too affi^ingfor de cripti
no, too great for human feelings. Even the most
obdurate and unprincipled of your patriots, had he been
present at this awful view, must have felt some remorse
for the part he has a&ed, and lamented the falfities he
has palmed ou parliament as fads, and which have
brought the most complicated misery and ruin on
thousands and thousands, whose only crime has been
loyalty to their king, and affection for their parent
country.
