CHARLESTOWN, Joly 6.
ON Thursday his Majesty's ship s Princess Caroline and Ze
?ra, arrived offour bar, from Georgia, and yefterdav the
ueora entered the harbour. 7
Yesterday arrived here from Georgia, the privateer brig.m
fine Enterprize, Pollard, Schooner Hope, Hayes, and a prize
schooner, which we formerly mentioned to have been taken
by the Zebra.
This day arrived here the Ballahowe, Wallace, from St.
Augustine, but lall from Tybec.
About fix days ago the Princess Caroline and Zebra fll in
wi , and took a large French privateci from Port-au-Prince,
C fßating 24 guns, quite new, and ncaily
°V ?° e "' our 32 gun frigates. She had on board
when the failed 300 men, but having manned three final! prizes
Ine had made 111 a cruize of fix weeks, the crew consisted only
of xBo men when she was taken. Tlvfe, excepting three or
four, were carried to his Majesty's ihips, and between sixty
and seventy of Bntilh fa?ors put on board of her; but most
unfortunately, the day after, a violent gnft bf wind oveifet
_her, and fire funkin seven fathom water, offTybee. M ft of
the people were below and were immediately drowned ; 0 hers
saved their lives by laving hold of her upper parts of the mads
and rigging. Of these, fourteen contrived to make a fort of
raft, and pushed off from the wreck : three who were not fuf
fered to go with the others, remained in their former filia
tion, and were afterwards taken up by a transport. O'the
fourteen no accounts have hitherto been received. It is
thought probable that they have landed femewhere about
Beaufort.
The fleet which we mentioned in our lad rarer to have
lately failed from Jamaica, consisted of about 180 fail. It left
Bluefields on the 25th of May, under convoy of his M iedv's
Blips of war, Sandwich of 90 guns, RuTell of 74 and flirted
of 64, besides frigates and other fmilicr veffels.'
In the fleet were three veffcls bound for this port. Two of
them parted from it about r 7 days ago, anJ-agreed to proceed
in company to this place. Off our 2 they , ifeow fed the
rebel privateer brgD.Qn, Engs. Leader, and bavin, given
chace, pursued her to feme ciftance. In the .want.me, how
ever, the crew of one of the vessels, cord 'in, cTeflv 0; Ame
ricans, ro& upon the Mader, and took pohJpbu of her. Shi
then stood naithwarcly. Her consort followed, and proceeded
above ten leag les in the coutt-, bercic it w; uncovered that
the Master of rhe other veiTet had no longer the command, and
that the crew were fleering for a rebel port. She th: n tacked,
and on returning to our Bar, was taken wir in a mile of it
by the privateer the two voxels,wbSi in company, had disced'.
The fame privateer, on ^e PT\ dw, 2 pj about the fame
place, took the third y^qc!, which we v mentioned was bound
for this port. * o'-
In addition to fh^Qcll^nce -contained in the extracts which
we have given from .the famaica Newfp.^eis, we have recei
ved the t flowing accounts, rom gentlemen who have come
from, that island. .'''
c r' B am .™" Q^ with a part of the squadron that had been
deft to cruize o"Cape-Fianpois, arrive Tat Port-Royal about
ithe wl of M,:y; AJmiral'Drake Thl.refilling With the ikry
four gun (hips and frigate's, to watch the -hobo is of the French
and Spanifn fleets; and it wa: expected Sir Samuel would Oil
himfelf to take his former Ration, as Ibon as he had com
pleted his watering.
It afforded matter of aftoniftment to theemimuin Tarnfra
to observe the very different Rics of the fr-n:h ships which 0
were taken, and ofthe English fhipswhch'condude ! them D
Port-Royal. The farmer were in general d framed an f almost
torn to pieces; the (Flo: tent had not 2 matt that neewd abov^
her gunwale, and everyone of their comm infers fad be^ •
killed. But of the latter not one Had loft : a lower maß
and the number of fiW^r,-• „ W: Q '
was but trifling; Capt. Cornwillis, of the' Canada, who en
gaged the Ville ae Paris foi five hours, kept out at sea for
several weeks after the engagement, and when he arrived at
Port-Royal, his vefici, by not being much hurt, and hiring
her fides' new painted, appeared as just come out of dock. We
are more particular in mentioning tlwf^thjvgh in order to rc.-
fufe notfohs alroS^^^^ ring continually
maintained bf a fet'of perfoas, W; o teem to iemonftrate their
love for their country i 1 10 otlr r manner I ban by mduTrioufly ;
proving our inferiority to ,our enemies. The superior excellence !
of French powder, the greater fkih of their gunners, and the'
more complect knowledge of their naval Commanders in' the
manoeuvres o a Brief, have ling been t?.v.;uri'e topi ^s of de
clamation with such people; but we tiuf tthat the victory of
the 12th of Aprhwi', ft ^TI force them tb quit that ground;
and that it will now'be confefTeJ, we arc inferior to^our enc
mimflTOthiisCTtirtrT.k^Mb;l ^
In pursuance of ari ?5t if'Cl Rebel' Ldtmbly of tfiis 'pro

firm to the engagements th # y ente oil into with the Govern
ment efl ablifhed after th conquest of this country by the Bri
tish army, hasten public.dy.fold.as fo,jted to the State.
Upwards of fifty negroes belon ing to Colum.l Elia; Ball, of
Wambaw, have been lately difoofed of in this manner; and
it beingjuftly apprehended that the whole ofthe pumber wouid
undergo the like ^e, a party of our dragoons was on futf lay
night sent over, to St. 1 homas's pa;iib, t > ahid that gent'em in
in removing his negroes so a place of security. 'phis has been
effected, a^d ^hl idragoons retuired yelerday to the re I >ubt
at Hadden's Point, having proceeded to Watnbaw, which is
about 32 miles ^iftant from lladdrell's, without meeting wi h
any refinance. , c ln their progios up the. country, they made
prifopers of a Mr. Elemaycr, a Mr. Garden, son of the Rev.
Mr. Garden, one Bee. a carpenter, and Mr. George Smith,
and took several very excellent horses. The captives have
been -frrrr-bnmdm Petrin ih'n. '_--

<< Thi~ View's have behaved mod nobly.—Hearing their
friends in friyjnir.tr were closely besieged, about 160 of the
principal m in in 'h'&rN nion. led by Emifttfeguo, determined
to make facir way to this place, to Hope the fate .of their
friends oiQcrifo i^thc attempt. On the night of the 24th
ult. they attaeke fWayne's camp at Mrs. Gibbons's with such
vigour,' as taroute his'wh^ army, took his cannon, camp,
&c. The enemy rallied, and their cavalry coming up a^the
fame tide,' the^diaiis afu ra warm conflict, retired a little
way to a fwamn on theirleft, arid returned again to the charge.
They a fXoad time^ot poffeffio.l of the enemy's field pieces,
but the brave Fmirier.gub, and some others of the principal
chiefs having fallen, the Indians at laid retired and got into
town in the ^orninv. The Rebels acknowledged that tbeit
lofc exceeded 'thirty among them three officers. Other ac
counts fay their loss in killed, wounded and miffing exceeded
one hu. deed.—V ayne's horse was flrot under him."
