CHARLESTOWN, July 3 r.
ON Saturday evening last, the fleet which hfdarrived off
our Bar the proceeding Thursday from Tyb£ made fail
and stood to the Northward.
In the above fleet went passengers from this place, Lieute
nant-Colonel Balfour, our late Commandant, Lieutenant-
Colonel Thomas, of the Guards, L eutenant^Colonel Cruger,
Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton, Major Dawfofi, of the 3d re
giment, Capt. Griffiths, the late Commodore of this port,
Capt. Barry, Capt. Swanton of the Guards, Capt. Roberts
of the 63d regiment, Capt. M'Mahon of ihe Volunteers of
Ireland, Lieut. Gilbert of the 3d regiment, Mr. Knecht, Com
missary, Mr.GideonWhite,Merchant, and several other persons.
On Sunday also failed from this place, several finall vessels
with troops on board, supposed to be intended for a secret
expedition.
On the evening of the fame day arrived here, the brigantine
Betsey, Captain Begg, from T,ondon, but last from Madeira ;
the latter of which places he left eight weeks ago.
Yesterday arrived here a small schooner from the island of
New-Providence, which ihe left on Saturday the 20th of this
month ; and on the fame day returned to this port a pilot-boat
which had been to Beaufort in North-Carolina under a flag
of truce.
The Master of the schooner from New-Providence reports,
that of upwards of forty fail of Spanish vessels which had left
that place soon after its furrendcr, only eighteen had arrived
at Havana; about the fame number having been taken, and
nine forced back to the island by a privateer which was cruizing
In its neighbourhood. The greater part of the vessels widen
fell into 'the possession of the privateer were burnt or other
wise destroyed, and their crews, together with the troops they
were carrying back to the Havana, were set on shore on the
small uninhabited islands called the Keys. „ '
These captures having been made by a privateer which was
supposed to belong to New-Providence, and owned in part by
persons who were included in the capitulation of the ifland,.have
teen regarded by the Spaniards as a breach of the articles.
They have therefore apprehended and confined a number of
the inhabitants, particularly those who had (hares in any of
the privateers which formerly belonged to New-Providence,
and which have not returned thither since its reduction, as it
is not precisely known what veffcl has committed these depre
dations.
The accounts concerning the fate of the sailors and soldiers
which were landed by the privateers on the Keys, arc not fatis
fadory or clear. It is said that they were taken off by some
vessels belonging to their nation, and carried to the Havana,
but at what time, and whether these vessels were sent for that
puroofe, or went thither by accident, is not mentioned.
The matter of the pilot-boat which is returned rom Beau
fort mentions, that yesterday he spoke with the Vulture and
Hornet (loops of war, near Cape Roman, and that he at the
fame 'time saw several vessels near the entrance of North San
tee. It would appear probable that these were the vessels which
failed from hence on Sunday with troops on board. If so, we
may expert shortly to hear of the event of the expedition.

Messrs. Wells & Son,
Gentlemen,
AT a Meeting of the Officers of the Country Militia this
day, I was directed to request you to publish the enclosed in
your next Gazette. I am, Sir,
Your most humble Servant,
R. BALLINGALL.
Cherie, ogun, igtb July, 1782.
THE Officers of the Country Militia having presented an
Address to Lieutenant-Colonel Balfour on his leaving
Charleftown, which was, by their desire, pwblifhed in the
Royal Gazette of Wednesday the 14th instant, observe, in the
succeeding number of that Gazette, an anonymous Address
to Lieutenant-Colonel Cruger, (the original of which is said to
have been signed by a number of refpedable inhabitants)
containing the following expressions:
" Addresses to men in office procured by the influence of
" those who have balked in the sun-shine of their authority,
" are the offspring of flattery and dissimulation, having mi'
" ther merit for their basis nor truth for their objed."
As these expressions may appear to the Publick to convey a
refledion on the characters of the Militia Officers; They there
fore, in justice to thcmfelves, declare, that they have the fame
esteem for Lieutenant-Colonel Balfour when out of office, as
when eloathed with the powers the gallant Earl Cornwallis
thought him worthy^of being entrusted with; that they had
no other motives to address him, but such as were avowed
on that occasion; and that the above quoted expressions, if
meant to be applied to them, are equally falfe and malicious.
