CHARLESTOWN, March 27.
ON Thursday evening arrived here the schooner Betsey,
Jeremiah Grant Master, from Savannah: She left New-
Providence about five or fix weeks ago, bound for this port
but was forced into Savannah River by stress of weather.
For some days part the weather has been remarkably cold;
yeftetday in the forenoon, some snow fell, a jcirdumftance
which rarely happens here in the depth of the feveteft win
ters.
Yesterday afternoon his Majesty's flhip Aftrea, Capt. Squire,
went over the Bar.
IV e are just informed, as this paper is going to press, that
the detachment of cavalry under the command of Major
rraler, and of militia, headed by Col. Young, which crossed
over to St. Thomas's parish on Thursday last, have this af
ternoon returned to the post at Hadreft Point. They pro
ceeded as far as Santee without meeting the least opposition,
Marion having never ventured since his late defeat to appear
on this fide of theriver. We have been favoured by a gentle
man who went with the detachment, with an account of the
following circumstances that happened in the course of the
expedition.
,Yesterday morning a party, of the militia, having received
information that Mr. Henry Pendleton was at Mrs. Motte's
plantation, surrounded the house of that lady, with the view
of apprehending him. They searched it three times without
fucceis, but Major Cunningham, relying on the accuracy of
his intelligence made the fourth attempt, and at length found
him concealed between a feather bed and a matrafs. On the
tame morning, Mr. Thomas Pinckney and Mr Edmund Hyrne,
both of them Majors in the Continental fcrvice, were made
priloners at Mr. Daniel Horry's plantation. Mr. Pinckney
ys allowed to remain in the country a prisoner on parole ; but
Mr. Hyrne and Mr. Pendleton with a few persons of little note,
some very valuable horses, and about 150 negroes belonging
to life rebels, have been broughtin.
l f he negroes, the property of the Loyalists, that a Col. Bax
ter some days ago carried off from St. Thomas's and the ad
jacent country, had crossed Santee about twelve hours before
our party got thither. We have taken however, at least three
timesthe number of thole we loft. The Rebels will therefore
D °":Q n d that their estates, not those of the Loyalists have been
confiscated by the Assembly at Jackfonburgh.
[^r. Kendleton'<was formerly the Rebel Chief fuflicz of this
Province. , He became a prisoner to the Britijb arm, by the far
render of this garrifm, but jeon after, in violation of bis parole,
'went off -to the Rebels.]
