CHARLESTOWN, April %
ON Sunday morning a detachment of our cavalry that had
been above Dorchester, on their return to the camp fell in
xvith a patrole of Lee's horse near that village. Abridge fepa
yated the two parties, and some shot were exchanged over it.
Our cavalry then charged the Rebels, who immediately gave
way, and were pursued up Gaillard's road, which leads towards
Monk's Corner. In the flight three or four of the Rebels were
killed, one dangerously wounded, nine made prisoners, and
twelve excellent horses taken. None of our party were either
killed or wounded.
A negro man, servant to Capt. Alexander Campbell, and a
dragoon having straggled from the rest, met with the Rebels
before our party came up. The negro was knied, after making
a,moft gallant defence, and the dragoon slightly wounded.
'We were mistaken in mentioning in our last that the February
packet boat had arrived at New-York before the Narciflus
failed from thence.
The Narcissus, it is said, on her piffle hither, spoke with
the Amphion frigate, an officer on board of which mentioned,
that they had taken the Franklin privateer, and sent her to
Kew-York.
We are informed by a person from the country, that some
day last week, the flat belonging to Parker's Ferry, in carry
ing over a heavy loaded waggon and some passengers, funk in
the river ; by which accident several persons were drowned,
among whom is said to be Mr. Charles Ford, of the Hoffe-Shoe.
66 The following accounts are received refpeding the expedi
tion against Beanfort, in North Carolina, lately farprized by
the privateer ship Peacock, and schooners Retaliation and Rofc,
under the command of Captain Duncan M'Lean.
^ On the 4th inst. the vessels went over Beaufort Bar; the
schooner Retaliation having loft both her masts on the 21st ult.
in a severe gale of wind, was towed in by the Peacock; this
accident proved afterwards a very fortunate circumftapte, for
the enemy mistaking her for a prize, as she was towed in un
der Rebel colours hoisted over the British, ^number of the
principal inhabitants and pilots came on board the Peacock in
Ux or seven boats, and did not difeover the deception till they
Sad been on board some time. On the sth, about a o'clock,
~ M. Captain Stewart, with the people under his command,
landed in the boats taken from the enemy, on an island near
the main, the Rebels firing very briskly upon them, but with
out effect. At half past 3 o'clock they eroded to the main,
and advancing rapidly towards the fort took possession of it
with little resistance, though the enemy had mounted it, with
two 18 pounders and one 6 pounder, which fell into our hands;
the 18 pounders were both loaded when Capt. Stewart's people
took them. The taking of the fort gave them full possession of
the town of Beaufort; to secure which, and to prevent the
enemy from interrupting them, whilst they were-removing the
stores and merchandize found in the town, which was consi
derable, on board the Ibips, Capt. Stewart ordered a bread
work to be thrown up, and mounted on it the 6 pounder
taken in the fort, having destroyed the two 18 pounders and
rendered them unfit for Service, together with 350 muskets and
'fufees, and a great quantity of ammunition and gun-locks. -
, “ Whilst Capt. Stewart and his people were giving the enemy
this amusement on shore, Captain Maclean was employed in
taking possession of the vessels and boats in the harbour, which
was effected with no other loss than one of the seamen
iightlv wounded. The prizes confided of a fine large flip,
loaded with masts, spars, rice, tobacco, and naval stores, for
the French Weft-Indies; a fine schooner and sloop, and a num
ber of small craft and whale-boats. On the 9th, an exchange
of prisoners was agreed upon between Capt. Stewart, &c. of
the British, and Lieut. Col. Enoch Ward, and Major Mount
fterence, on the part of the Americans. The Americans re
stored two of Capt. Stewart's men that were taken at some
distance from the work, plundering ; and in return, Captain
Maclean and Captain Stewart, paroled 26 prisoners taken by
them. The 10th, at 11 o'clock at night, Capt. Stewart eva
cuated the town, and embarked his men, and the stores that
could be removed in time, on board the ships, without any loss.
“ On the 13th, a fine sloop from St. Croix, loaded with ruin,
salt, cordage, fail cloth, and other articles, came into Beau
fort, and fell into hands they little expended.
“ By Captain M'Lean's letter, dated within Beaufort Bar,
the 16th inst- we are informed that he had got possession of a
number of valuable papers and registers, lately in the caie of
a William Bordein, Esq; and that he intended to make an
offer of restoring them, on condition that all Governour
Martin's were given upto him. He also mentions that he had
taken 37 negroes, and had several prisoners on board ; that he
had burnt a considerable quantity of pitch, tar, arid turpen
tine, and other article that he could not remove without great•
hazard; a fine brig on the flocks, and a number of boats of
all kinds; and that he was obliged also to burn the firft Hoop
he had taken .nd some mills. He expected if the weather
permitted, to get over the Bar on the 17th with his prizes.
Both he and Capt. Stewart speak in the highest terms of the
Spirited exeertions of the officers and men under their com
mand; and add, they were all in health and high spirits.
They only loft in the whole comic, of this gallant enterprize
1 seamen killed, ana 3 or 4 slightly wounded ; they do not as
certain the number of the enemy, but imagine they must have
loft several, as the firing at different times was very smart.
Capt Stewart was wounded in the hand by a fall, and 2 or
3 officers belonging to the vessels are slightly wounded. The
drums and colours of the fort were brought off."
I We are informed by one of the prisoners taken on board the
sloop Chance, prize to Mr. Cruden's privateers, that he was
at Martinique about five weeks since, when the French fleet
of 40 fail, were cleaning, and repairing the damages they had
sustained in the actionswith Sir Samuel Hood ; —thatthe British
fleet, of 46 fail, including the reinforcement brought by Sir
George Rodney, and the arrival of single ships from America
and other places, were at St. Lucia ; that during his stay at
Martinique, a number of trahfports with troops had arrived
there from Guadaloupe and Grenada, and that he saw, them,
with their baggage and artillery, landed; that 40 fail of mer
chantmen, transports and store ships, under convoy of fix men
of war, had arrived there from Old France, and brought accounts
of the disaster the Brest fleet Kid met with in their rencontre
with Admiral Ks^pcnfclt ; that three of the men of war re
SAVANNAH, (Georgia) April it.
FRIDAY last failed from Tybee for London, the thip Geor
gia Packet, Capt. Haift, in which went paflengers Jermyn
"Wright, Esq; brother to his Excellency Sir James Wright,
Bart. Governour ofthis province; Mrs. Baillie, wife of George ,
Baillie, Esq; and three children; two sons of the late Col.
James Grierfon of Augusta, and a son of James Herriot, Esq;
of this place.
On Saturday morning four vessels came to anchor at Offabaw,
and remained till Monday morning, when they weighed and
Rood out to sea on the approach of Capt. Scallion in the Ar-'
buthnot galley. It is imagined they were a rebel galley with
three prizes, and that they are gone to Beaufort.
The schooner General Vaughan arrived here yesterday from
Charleftown; his Majesty's Hoop Savage faw' heFfafe over our .
bar.
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE
mained At Martinique 'with Count de Craft, the other three,
with part of the convoy, had proceeded for St. Domingo.
On Monday afternoon arrived here the Rebel privateer brig
Grand Turk, of 12 guns and '75 men, prize to his Majesty's
sloop of war, Vulture, Lehorne, E^; Commander.
The Grand Turk had lately failed from Ocracock in North-
Carolina, “to cruize," as is mentioned in her log-book, '%
the permission of Gad, off GbarEfawn bar ;" but had taken
nothing.
Onth fame afternoon arrived the Hoop Chance, one of
the prizes to Capt. Maclean, of the Peacock privateer.
In the couffe of yesterday and to-day arrived, here the pri
vateer fliip Peacock, Capt. M'Lean and the other vessels
under his command, with their prizes, from North-Carolina.
The Vulture, when in company with thafleet which lately
failed from this place for Britain, under.com/6y of the OHrich,
&c. took a brigantine from St. Kitts bound to Baltimore, laden
with rum and Tugar, which soon after was ftr'uck with light
• ning, and thereby received so much damage, , tnat Ihe funk be
fore any thing could be saved but the people who were on board.
The Vulture parted from the fleet the 15th inst then 130 lea
gues off the coast.
To the Printers of the Royal Gazette.
Gentlemen,
IN my narrative, printed in your paper of the 17th instant,
I omitted to mention, that Burke, who murdered Mr. Daw
kins, was discharged from the guard at Ninety-Six, on the
29th of May, without trial, and was so far from feeling any
remote for his crime, that he furore by Jesus he would kill
two or three more of : the darhned villains if ever he had the
chance. I have heard it obtested, that I have mistaken Colonel
Let's name, which is laid 'to be Henry, instead of Francis.
This may be fhecafe; btft'l wris demanded from she guard in
his name, and the order promised, which I read; but every
person must readily imagine, that before I got to theend of it,
short as it was, 'the confufion and agitationof my mind was
so great, that i might t^fily make that miftate.
