CHARLESTOWN, July 2%
F A ^ Y °^ Thurftlay morning a fleet of tracts aml
~^ ' "^" 7^°^ hav ^ on boarrt the Center
part of the late ;gamfon of Savannah, with a number of loyal
"^^ "T?^ Place ' ariived off our bar from Tv^,'
which they had left on the preceding evening. Tn the course
° f t^-fame day a part of the fleet entered our harbour.
The °. f Savannah was evacuated by the Britiflj troonfl
°" L this month; the publick floras and the effects
of the inhabitants who have come away, being oreviouflv re
moved down to the inland of Tybee. On the 20th oftheOme
month, a fleet failed from 1 ybee for famaica, with about 1800
•^^ an ^ ° tber Property of ^e loyalists, under convoy of
the Zebra frigate and Vulture sloop of war. Two days after
wards another fleet, having on boardabout 3000 negroes, failed
for St. Augustine. On the evening of the fame day Colonel
Browne with a part of his regiment, the militia troops ofhorf'
dismounted, some militia infantry, and about ,00 Indians,
the whole making together nearly the number of i;oo persons
embarked in small vcfftls to proceed to last-Florida, by the
inland navigation.•
The whole number of persons, independent of his Majesty's
troops, who have left Georgia in consequence f the evacua
tion of the garrison of Savannah, is said to be nearly 'fcven
thousand. Ofthatnumber about five thousand are negroes
who. according to some. were at lead three-fourths, aud't^
others, seven-eighths o f all the fl ves in the province of Geor
gia. Among the twothoufand whites whohawGikewife come
away, are almost all the wealthy inhabitants of the province, +
and many of the lower classes of the people.
The distress which is nece^arily attendant on events of
filch a nature, was allevf/ed as much as circvmft res
could admit of, by the attention and. humanly tha were
shewn by his Majesty's officers to t^e inhabi ams. Rio he
misery of these people on f y began at leiv'ng the r home
The rich, by difpoling of one part of their property, .may in
deed be furnifhed with the means of keeping 'he other toge
ther, and o' fiipportingthi mfelve r : hu+ as to 'he middling and
lower elaffes, whose firft years ofbnfine' are necHTaii'y 'pent
in acquiring eflablifhments ;by hfing these thev lose all they
poflefs, and are again thrown upon the wide wo r ld, as poor as
when they firft embarked in it, and i'h the.additional ci:-
cumftances of an inercafe o' years, and the hurth no c families
which the reasonable propped they once hal before them of
acquir'ng a competence, if not wraith, had induced thrmto
form. It would be needle fi; to pursue this matter any further,
that of explaining what is evident to every one. the miseries
the loyal inhabitants of Georg a have already experienced, and
tnuft hereafter encounter, from the evacuation of Savannah.
We mutt rest fatisfied in the 1 Gif < that fr fufferingr of a part
will be of benefit to the whole, and that every piece of infor
mation was obtain d, everv argument duly examined, and 'the
confeque ices carefully coufide r ed, befor a myafure was a
dopted which neceff ri!y tended to d^of so considerable a
lumber of his Majefty'^ most fa^h'ul f.,bteas.
Yesterday was fnt in here a small p ; 7, d f hooker, w^h a
valuable lading of indigo, flour, &c. This vessel had faded
from Newbern in North-Carolina on a voyage to th ? Wed-
Indies, but being chaced by a nrivan er. ha l cone into St.
Helena Sound. A whale-boat fitted ou + a' t^is place, and
b which went on a cruise on Mond y lad-, f und herthe e, and
took her on Thursday, after fune refinance.'
The following A nr>^r.„, fignedl v a number of ref enable
inhabitants of this carrifon, was yefterdav preferred to Lieu
tenant-Colonel Crure%
To JOHN HARRIS CRUGER, Esq;
Lieutenant-Colonel, commanding the fir? battalion of General
} Delancey's brigade.
\ SIR, '
I REFLECTING on the many brilliant affirms that have so
eminently diftingnifhed the British arms in the Soutl• rn Colo
nies, which, had they been aided b r a proper frt. of ooh'cy,
would have effeded the establishment of peace: u think it
our duty, upon the eve of your departure, thus p iblickly to
express our thanks to you for the conspicuous part you have
taken in them
Addresses to men in office procured by the influence of those
who have balked in the sun-shine of th< ir authority, are the
offspring of flattery and dissimulation, having neither merit
for their basis nor truth for their objea. Unbiased by such
motives, ours to you. Sir, flow folJy from the grateful sense
we entertain o' your merit, and of the ardent zeal you have
ever shewn in the cause of cm Sovereign.
The eminent fi-rvices you have rendered in the course of the
present war, are not to be enumerated here ; these will find
a more durable monument ; n the annals of Britain: but per
mit us to fay, your gdhnt defence of Ninety-Six must be ever
remembered with admiration and applante.
By uncommon exertions you have rendered the Provincial
line as refoedtable for military talents as they have always been
for loyalty t o their King and regard for the constitution of
their country.
Accept, Sir. our belt wishes for your fafe passage ; may von
find an ample field for the dfp'av of your abilities, and may
you continue to receive the universal tribute of appiaufe justly
due to the honest soldier and virtuous citizen.
To which Lieutenant-Colonel Crugfr the fame day returned
the following Anlwer:
Gentlemen,
I AM infinitely obliged to you for this honourable testimony
of your approbation of my conduct, in the difeharge of my
duty to my King and my Country.
Appiaufe, from so respectable a body of his Majesty's loyal
fnbje&s, io to me truly flattering, and greatly compensates
for my utmost fei vices which have, and ever (hall be, zealously
l exertedin that just cause in which we are jointly embarked.
Be pleased, Gentlemen, to accept my most sincere thanks
for your very friendly wishes ; and permit me to assure you,
Ithat the prosperity of the virtuous, loyal citizen, will ever be
an object nearest my heart.

An O D E,
For Hi. MAJESTY'S BIRTH- DAY, x;Bfa
HARK! hear Apollo strikes his lyre!
Him, Jove and all the Gods inspire;
'i ue Nymphs and Satyrs all advance
To swell the chorus, fill the dance,
And on the plain,
Each tuneful swain
Cheer ful chants his roundelay,
1 0 hail his Monarch's natal day.
Too long has Britain's envious far
Shot forth the beams of horrid war;
Whilst ingrate sons, whom f had fed
Like Pelican with blood she hied,
Throughout the land
With impious hand,
Had planted discord's baleful tree.
And fancied her fair Liberty.
T°° lon g had faithlefs France and haughty Spain
ith clouds of canvass fhadow'd o'er the main,
Neptu _ the while flood gazing on,
Nor dar'd to aid his darling son!
Till fearful of his own imperial sway,
The mighty trident trembling in his hand,
The darkness he dispels, restores the day,
And to himfelf resumes th' ufurp'd command.
Now the circling hours come round,
When, where roll yon western waves
Heroes at the trumpet's found
Fight for freedom against fidves."
Lift! the battle's now begun,
British thunder roars along;
Hark! the victory is won!
To Britain's Monarch raise the song!
To Rodney! (so the muse commands)
Songs of joy and triumph sing,
Joy to those victorious bands
Who fought so well tor Britain's King:
rrom thee, sweet Clio, must his name
Receive the stamp of endless fame;
Thy page, fair virgin, best Ihall tell
How captive Admirals hi o triumphs fwelL
Benbow s bright spirit from his urn
Hew forth to view the glorious fCtne,
With patriot flame such spirits burn,
Nor can the grave that flame restrain:
Bold railers peace!
Let faction ceafel
Know, when Britannia's sons conjoin'd
Go hand in hand,
By fca and land;
They terrify the world combin'd.
Let hov'ring Fame disperse the found,
And tell the haughty Monarchs round,
That Albion's conquering arms contend
In Juftice' cause: but Peace her end.
Ah! with what joy shall young lulus * hear
Of laurels from the foe so nobly torn;
How flow to him shall creep each lingering year,
' Till wreaths like these his Godlike brows adoral
Illustrious youth, Britannia's naval pride,
If adverse fate—but fate shall yield to thee!
Thro' paths of honour shall thy footfteps glide,
u And England's great Marcellus thou shalt be.
Janus before his sane awaits
Great GEORGE's nod to bar the gates,
And Pax and Ceres wifhful stand,
Prone to bltfs at his command.
Splendid commerce from afar,
Joyful views expiring war;
Fleets in fafety plough the main,
Sighing merchants Imile aga ; n.
Thro' yon vast trad, where boundless Ikies
O'er boundless regions feenl to rife,
Glorious visions blifsful roll,
And unborn ages charm the foul:
Behold ! where on th' enbatti'd plain
Wav'd hostile spears, now waves the grain;
Where rag'd the battle's hotter fire,
Now is seen the hallow'd spire;
Where th' impervious forreft grew,
A thriving village meets the view.
When GEORGE shall bid war's horrors cease,
These are thy bkffings happy Peace!
Then shall Jamaica's favoure 1 isle
Boast a patriot Campbell's smile;
liluftrious name, in ev'ry age,
Thou loyal fill'll th' hiftorick page;
Nor ever once, thro' Discord's reign,
Wer't known to swell Rebellion's train.
Let ev'ry muse take up her willing Lyre!
To GEORGE and Liberty n.w swell the lay!
Let founds of gladness loyal breasts inspire?
And strains of du.y hail his natal day!
