GENERAL ORDERS.
—_ Head-Quarters, New-Torl, l^tb Sept. 17®t.
T)Rigadier-Gener&l ARNOLD, having reported to the Coni-
D mander in Chief the success of the expedition under his direction
agamft New-London, on the 6th instant, his Excellency has the
pl "' u ,% f fi^fymg to the army, the high sense he entertains of the
very difhnguifhed merit of the corps employed upon that fervfei
But whilst he draws the greater fatisfadion. from the ardor of the
troops, which enabled them to carry by assault a work of such fttength
as Fort Griswold is represented to be, he cannot but lament with the
deeped concern, the heavy loss in officers and men sustained by the
40th and 54th regiments; who had the honour of that attack ; and as
no words can do proper justice to the discipline and spirit which they
shewed on that occafioft, his Excellency can only request they will
accept his thanks, with assurances that he will net fail to reprefenc
their conduct to their Sovereign in the most honourable terms.
I he Commander in Chief begs leave to express his obligations to
Brigadier-General Arnold, for his very spirited conduct on the occa
sion; and he assures that General Officer, that he is convinced he took
every precaution to prevent the deftru&ion of the town, which is a,
misfortune that, gives him much concern.
His Excellency also feels himfelf greatly indebted to all the officers
of the regular and provincial corps who accompanied him on that ser
vice, but more particularly so to Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, Major
Bromfield, and Captain Millett, who commanded the attacks, and
to Lord Dalrymple, Captains Beckwith and Stapleton, df whose very
able assistance and distinguished gallantry the Brigadier makes the
mofl :honourable mention.
The Commander in Chief has likewise the greatest pleasure in ta
king this public occasion of fignifying to the army, how much thevA
are indebted to the great humanity and benevolence of Captain
Beazley, of his Majesty's Ship Amphion, to whose very friendly and
generous assistance, many of the wounded officers and men are most
probably indebted for their lives.

An account of Brigadier-General Arnold's expedition to New-London.
° ' R' September 16, 1781.
YOU are desired to publish the inclofed letter from Brigadier-Ge
neral Arnold to his Excellency the Commander in Chief. °
l am, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
. O -DELANCEY, Adj. Gen.
To Mr. fames Rivington,
S I R' Sound off Plumb [find, Stb Sept. 1781.
I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency, that the tranfi
ports with the detachment of troops under my orders, anchored on
the Long-Island Shore on the sth instant, at 2 o'clock P. M. about
ten leagues from New-London, and having made some necessary
arrangements, weighed anchor at 7 o'clock P. M. and flood for
New-London, with a fair wind. At 1 o'clock the next morning we
arrived off the harbour, when the wind suddenly Shifted to the North
ward, and it was 9 o'clock before the transports could beat in. At
10 o'clock the troops in two divisions, and in four debarkations,' were
landed, one on each Side the harbour, about three miles from New-'
London; that on the Groton fide consisting of the 40th and 54th
regiments, and the 3d battalion of New-Jersey volunteers, withs
detachment of Jagers, and artillery, were under the command of
Izieut. Col. Eyre. The division on the New-London fide consisted
of tne 38th regiment, the loyal Americans, the American legion,
refugees, and a detachment of 60 Jagars, who were immediately on
their landing put in motion, and at 11 o'clock, being within half a
mile of Fort Trumbull, which commands New-London harbour I
detached Captain Millet, with four companies of the 38th regiment
to attack the fort, who was joined on his march by Contain Frink
with one company of the American legion. At rhe fame time I ad
vanced with thc remainder of the division, Weft of Fort Trutbuli
on the road to the town, to attack a redoubt which had keot up'l
brisk fire upon u for some time; but which the enemy evacuated on
our approach. In this work we foupd fix pieces of cannon mounted
and two dismounted; soon after I had the pleasure to fee Captain
Millet march into Fort Trumbull under a Shower of grape Shor front
a number of cannon, which thc enemy had turned upon him; and I
have the pleasure to inform your Excellency, that by the'fudden
attack, and determined bravery cf the troops, the fort was carried
with the loss only four or five men killed and wounded. Captain
Millet had orders to leave one company in Fort Trumbull' to detach
one to the redoubt we had taken, and to join me with the' other two
companies. No time on my part was 101 lin gaining the town of
New-London. We were opposed by a small body of the enemy with
one field-piece, who were so hard prefled that they were obliged to
leave the piece, which being iron was Spiked and left. '"
As soon as the enemy were alarmed in the morning, we could per
ceive they we-re busily employed in bending fails, and endeavourin;
to get their privateers and other Ships up Norwich river, out of our
reach; but the wind being small, and the tide againft'them they
were obliged to anchor again.—From information' I received before
and after my landing, I had reason to believe that Fort Griswold on
Groton fide, was very incomplete; and I was afl'ured (by friends to
Government) after my landing, that there were only twenty or tl'k
ty men in the fort, the inhabitants in general being on board their
Ships, and busy in saving their property. On taking possession of
Fort Trumbull, I found the enemy's flips would escape unless we
could possess ourselves of Fort Griswold; I therefore dispatched an
ollicer to Lieut. Col. Eyre, with thc intelligence I had received and
requeued him to make an attack upon the fort as soon as poffibl'e- at
which time I expected the howitzer was up and would have ten
made use of.—On my gaining a height of ground in the rear of New.
London, from which I had a good pro{pe& of Fort Griswold I found
it much more formidable than 1 ey.pe&ed, or than I had formed an
idea of from the information I had before received; I observed at <h'e
feme time, that the men who had escaped from Fort Trumbull had
crossed in boats and thrown themselves into Fort Griswold and a
favourable wind Springing up about this time, the enemy's Shi'ps were
escaping up the river, notwxthftapding the fire from Fort Trumbull
and a fix-pounder which I had with nw. I immediately difpatched
beat with an officer to Lieut. Col. Lyre, to countermand my firft
order to attack the fort, but the officer arrived a few minutes too
late Lieut. Col. Eyre had sent Capt. Beckwith with afr to de
mand the surrender of thc fort, which was neremptorily refufod and
the attack had commenced. After a most obstinate defence cf near
forty minutes, the fort was carried by the Superior bravery and per
fe\ere:%°f ^V^l^ The attack was judicious and Spirited,
and reflects the highest honour on the officers and troops encased
who seemed to vie with each other in being fift in danger' The
troops approached on three Sides of thc work, which was a fqva-e
with flanks, made a lodgment in the ditch, and under a heavy ft?
whtcn they kept up on the works, effe&ed a second lodgment upon
the framing which was attended with great difficulty, as only a few
pickets could be forced out or broke in a place, and was so hfrh that
the foldters could not afeend without affixing each other. Here the
coebefs and bravery cf the troops were very confekious, as the firft
American Intelligence.
