Charlestown, April it.
IT is by authority we inform the publick, that a body of
Rebels, confiding of upwards of one hundred Cavalry,
having formed the design of surprising the post at Pocotaligo,
was proceeding to execute it on Sunday night lad; but Colo
nel Fenwicke having received timely notice of their intentions,
marched with only 30 of his troop, to fruftrate them, and
meeting the enemy drawn up, about fix miles from Pocotali
go, notwithrtanding their great superiority in numbers, charg
ed the main body with such spirit, as totally routed and drove
them into the next swamp; fourteen of their men being killed
and wounded, and some horses taken, with the loss of five
men wounded, and one miffing, on our fide. Any colouring
would be needless to shew the intrinfick merit of an adion,
which does so much honour to Colonel Fenwicke, and his
final! party. . . *.
A band of wretches, forced from civil society by their
crimes, have lately made an irruption into the lower parts of
this province. On the night of the Bth of this month, fifteen
of them surrounded the house of Doctor CUttaal, at the
Horfelhoe ; and by pretending they had a message of conse
quence for their matter, they prevailed upon the servants to
give them admittance. A young gentleman lately returned
from England, Mr. John Inglis, happened to be at the Doc
tor's on a visit, and being awakened by the noifc they made,
came hastily down stairs, naked and defencelefs, to enquire
into the cause of the disturbance ; one of the ruffians instant
ly met him with his musket, and difeharged its contents into
his breast. Mr. Inglis immediately expired. Doctor Clitheral
was carried away prisoner to the quarters of one Harding,
whom they call Colonel, whence he returned yesterday to
town on his parole.
No surer test can be given of the expiring power of Con
gress than, that confeffing their inability to oppose bravely in
the field the progress of the British armies, they now retain
murderers and assassins in their service ; that confeious of their
impotency to conquer, they derive pleasure from the misery
and fufferings of individuals. Mr. Inglis, from the amiable
ness of his manners, and his absence for some years from this
country, could have had no personal enemies. The guilt of
his murder mutt therefore wholly fall upon Congress, under
whose orders the ruffians have afted.—Virtuous Body ! disin
terested band of Patriots, feleded from the common mass of
your countrymen, for your wisdom, and integrity of heart !
confide not too much in the strength of your capital, or the
fidelity of your followers ; British valour and conduct may
overcome the former, and felf-intereft may prompt the latter
to atone for their own crimes, by the facrifice of their leaders ;
for distress ever dissolves those combinations of men, whose
only bond of union is a community of guilt. When this pe
riod arrives, and we trust it is not far distant, in vain will
you look for pity from those, whose relations and friends you
have basely assassinated; as pity is but weakness, when ex
tended to deliberate crimes, and wanton cruelty.
Mr. Osborne, who kept a dore at Pocotaligo, has been also
murdered by the fame banditti, and in a manner too ihocking
to relate.
On Monday afternoon arrived a brigantine from New-
York ; she failed from Sandy Hook in company with the fleet
that arrived here on Wednesday last.
