Extras of a letter from Earl Cornwallis, Z O Lord George Ger-
MAIN, dated W ilmington, April lo^ I7°G
I MARCHED from Guildford on the morning of the 18th of
March, and next day arrived at Bell's Mill, where I gave the troops
two days rest, and procured a small supply of provisions. From
thence I proceeded slowly towards Cross Creek, attending to the
convenience of subsistence, and the movement of our founded. On
my way I issued the inclofed proclamation, and took every otner
means in my power to reconcile enemies, and,to encourage our
friends to join us. 1 r 1 r
'From all my information, I intended to have halted at Cross
tfeek, as a proper place to refrefh and refit the troops; arid was
much disappointed, on my arrival there, to find it totally impossible.
Provisions were icarce, not four days forage within twenty miles,
and to us the navigation of the Cape Fear River to Wilmington rin
pra&icable; for the distance by water is upwards of 100 miles: Un
der these circumflances, I was obliged to continue my r ^ arc h to this
place in the neighbourhood of which I arrived on the 7th ink.
' I have been busy since my arrival in disposing. of our lick and
wounded, and in procuring the necessary supplies, to put the troops
in a proper Rate to take the field. nr
Captain Schutz died a few days after the adhon, as we expected;
hut I am sorry to inform your Lordship, that, notwithstanding the
flattering appearances, and the assurances of the Surgeons Colonel
Webster (whose loss is severely felt by me and the whole army)
Captain 'Mawnurd of the guards, Captain Wilmoufky ana Ensign
De Trott of the regiment of Bose, are hnce dead.
Major Craig, who took possession of this place in the latter end
of January, has conduced himfelf with great zeal and capacity
having with a very small force, not only secured tne post front all
infalls™, but made himfelf refpe&able in this part ot tne country by
several fuccefsful excursions. r 0 r
1 shall not trouble your Lordship on the fuoje& 01 South-Carolina,
li.ivine directed Lord Rawdon, who commands on the frontiers, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Balfour, Commandant of Charleftown, to take
e^ery opportunity of communicating to your Lordhiip, as wed as to
. tire Commander in Chief, the Bate of affairs in that Provmce; as
- they are both officers of capacity and great merit, I trust that their
cbadua will liave given fatisfadtion.

A PROCLAMATI ON.
WHEREAS, by the blessing of Almighty God, his Majesty's arms
have been crowned with signal success, by the complete victory
obtained over the Rebel forces on the 15th inflant, I have thought
proper to issue this my proclamation, to call upon all loyal fubjedls
to stand forth and take an active part in restoring good or .er and
government: And whereas, it has been represented to me, that
many persons in this Province, who have taken a fliare in this un
natural rebellion, but having experienced the oppreflion and injustice
of the Rebel government, and having seen the errors into which they
have been deluded by falfhoods and misrepresentations, are sincerely
desirous of returning to their duty and allegiance, I do hereby notify
and promise to all such persons (murderers excepted) that if they
will surrender themselves with their arms and ammunition, at head
quarters, or to the officer commanding in the diftridt contiguous to
their refpe&ive places of residence, on or before the 20th day of
April next, they will be permitted to return to their homes, upon
giving a military parole; and shall be protested in their persons and
properties from all fort of violence from the British troops; and will
be restored, as food as possible, to all the privileges of legal and
constitutional government.
GIVEN under my hand, at Head-barters, this I^tb Day of
March, A. D. 1781, and Ml the ^ear of bis MajAlfs Reign.
(Signed) CORNWALLIS.
Extract of a letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Balfour, to Lord George
Germain, dated Cbarlflown, Elay 1, 1781.
My Lord,
BY Lord Cornwallis's dispatches, which arc herewith transmit
ted, your Lordship will be informed, that after the action at Guild
ford, General Greene being obliged to retreat from before the King's
army, turned his views towards this Province, as the more vulnera
ble point, in the able nee of Lord Cornwallis.
With this idea, on the 19th ultimo he came before Camden, ha
ving with him near 1500 Continentals, and several corps of militia;
Lord Rawdon having charge of that post, and about 800 British and
. Provincial troops to sustain it.
For some days General Greene kept varying his portion, waiting,
as is supposed, to be reinforced by the corps under Brigadier Marion
and Colonel Lee, which were on their way, being ordered to join
him,
. Judging it necessary to strike a, blow before this jun&ion could
take place, and learning that General Greene had detached to bring
up his baggage and provisions, Lord Rawdon, with the moil marked
decision, on the morning of the 25th, marched with the greater part
of his force ,to meet him, and about ten o'clock attacked the Rebels
in their camp at Hobkirk's, with that spirit, which prevailing over
luperior numbers, and an obstinate refinance, compelled them to
give way ;. and the pursuit was continued for three miles. To ac
cident only they were indebted for saving their guns, which being
drawn into a hollow, out of the road, were overlooked by our troops
in the fluih of vi&ory and pursuit, so that their cavalry, in which
they greatly exceeded us, had an opportunity of taking them off.
My Lord Rawdon dates the loss of the enemy, on this occasion,
as upwards of iqq made prisoners, and 400 killed and wounded, his
own not exceeding 100, in which is included I officer killed, and
11 wounded. , # ^
After this defeat, General Greene retired to Rugeley's Mills,
(twelve miles from Camden) in order to call in his troops, and re
ceive the reinforcements; but as Lieutenant-Colonel Watson, of the
guards, who had been for some time detached by Lord Rawdon,
wich a corps of 500 men, to cover the Eastern frontiers of the
Province, is dire&ed by me, to join his Lordfllip, I am in hopes he
will be able speedily to accomplish this, r• -..
It is to the several letters which Lord Rawdon has been so good
to transmit me, that I am indebted for the detail I have now the
honour to present your Lordship ; and which I trust his Lordship will
hereafter conclude in the most fatisfa&ory manner.
Admiralty-Office, June 5, 1781.
Copy °f a letter from Sir GEORGE Collier, Commander of bis Majfy's
Ship Canada, ta Mr. STEPHENS, dated Corke, May 2J, 1781.
YOU will be pleased to acquaint their Lordfllips, that on theist
instant, being detached in the Canada from the fleet under Vice-Ad
miral Darby, as a Ship of observation, I difeovered, at seven A. M.
a considerable number of English merchant vessels, and 4 Ship and
Sloop of war, which appeared to be enemies, a little to windward of
them. On our giving chafe, they tacked and brought to, to re
connoitre us as we passed, and then went off under an easy fail: The
Sloop mounted 22 guns, and seemed full of men. R —
So soon as we could fetch into the wake of the Ship, we put about,
and continued the chace full seventy leagues, till dawn of day next
morning. She thought proper to bring to, and engage us, hoisting
Spanish colours: It fell about this time almost calm, with a consider
able swell, or the centeft would not have lifted so long probably as
half an hour, which it did; She then submitted to his Majesty's co
lours, being a good deal Shattered, and having a number of men
killed and wounded. They dismounted a lower deck gun of the
Canada, and Shot off one of its trunnions.
We found her to be a very large frigate belonging to the King
of Spain, called the Leocadia, and the only ore the Spaniards have
coppered. She had been only fix days from Ferrol, and was bound
(I have reason to imgine) to the South Seas express, but threw all
their papers overboard. She has ports for forty guns, yet carries
only thirty-four, they Supplying the spare ports from the opposite
guns: This Ship was commanded by Don Francisco de Wenthuifen,
Knight of the Order of St. Jago, (who had a commission to command
all frigates he might meet with of his own nation.) It was with
concern I.learnt that this gallant officer loft his right arm in defending
his Ship; the Second Captain is also wounded: Two of the officers
are Knights of Malta.

rial Majesty set out for the Netherlands.
