A ng A ° f a ' ma " detachment of regulars, the volunteers of

May 30. The St. Lucia Gazette of the 20th April last men
tions, that the Marquis de Bouille, who was said to be going
in Count de Graffe's fleet to Cape Francois, put into Guade
loupe, where (his Lady having been taken with the small-pox)
he was detained: that on board the French ships of the line 1
were 7or 8000 troops: that the Count de Graft f c nt off the
convoy for the Cape a little before him, and when Sir George
Rodney made his appearance they pulhed on: And that the St.
Esprit, of 80 guns, not being in a condition to go out, remain
ed at Port Royal Martinique.
On Friday lad arrived the sloop Good-Luck, James Baker,
Matter, from Charleftown; next day the schooner Laleah,
James Scailet, Matter, in 18 days from Antigua; and on Sun
day the sloop Swift, Marie Andrew, Master, from Charleftown,
Las lTuefday a brigantine and a schooner arrived here from
Charleftown, with a feppiy of provisions for this garrison •1
also two sloops, all under convoy of his Majesty's armed bri
gantine Greyhound for St. Auguftme.
Yesterday arrived the privateer brigantine Enterprize, of
14 guns, Capt. Watkins, belonging to New-Providence, with
the prize sloop Lark, Capt. Champion late Matter, from Rhode-
Bland and Philadelphia, for the Hava a, wiih 393 'barrels flour,
taken in the Old Strains of Bahama the 9th inst. This sloop
left Rhode-Bland, on her firft voyage, the 9th March, loaded
at Philadelphia, and failed from thence the Bth April. The
Enterprize proceeded with her prize towards New-Providence,
but, upon appearing off the island the 12th, by signals from
the fliore found the place in possession of the Spaniards.
The only particulars we can yet learn of the reduction of
that island are, that the Spaniards appeared of Nassau the 4th
of this month, to the number of seven or eight thousand men,
and the capitulation was concluded the 7th. The inhabitants
are secured in their own religion, laws, and government, and
every species of property, both by land and water, except
guns, ammunition, and other warlike stores, both publick and
rivate, which are delivered up to the Spanish commander; to
have 18 months to difpefe of their property, and flags to pro
ceed where they please. The privateer left the island the fsthh
before which time (as they learnt from people on board of
filling boats) the Spaniards had behaved with the greatest hu
manity, propriety, and attention, to the fafety of the persons
and property of every individual on the island. The expedition
was piloted and conduced by the famous D. Newton, (former
ly Captain of a Rebel privateer ship from Charlcftown) his bro
ther William Newton, and William Woodfides, all natives of
that place, and have wives and families there. They command
three privateers Belonging to Philadelphia, and went to the
Havana for the above purpose. These three men, after the
capitulation was concluded, proceeded to break through it, by
plundering the' inhabitants and carrying the effects on board
their own vessels, but the Spanish Commander interfered, and
ordered them to depart the island immediately, as they belong
ed to Congress, and had no further bufiuefs there after the.
place had surrendered to the arms of Spain, which they were
obliged to comply with,
Capt. Watkins, his two lieutenants, and a considerable
number of the seamen; abandoned the privateer at New-Pro
vidence, to look after their families and effeds, in consequence
of which the brigantine and prize were conducted here by two
Prize-Makers.
Brofen, with a defichmerd of 80 foot and 60 dragoons, march,
ed to Little Ogechee to support them. On Tuefchty evening'
a little on this fide Great-Ogechee, Cot. Jackson, with'a bodv
of Rebel foot and horse, made two or three attempts upo^
Capt. Ingram's party on their return, but was each time repug
fed with fofs. At length he took post at a causeway n. ar Stru
thers',,antation> placing his infantry at each fide in the bufhes'
and his horse in front. Capt. Atwood coming up at this junc
ture from the ferry with the dragoons instantly charged the
Rebels, who, after giving their tire, immediately dispersed
Capts. Atwood, Ingram, and Corker, then purftied their
march to Little Ogechee, where they joined Col. Brown with
the foot. Col. Brown having intelligence from a prisoner that
Wayne was near with his whole force, detached Col. Douglas
with an advanced party to seize the pass near Baillou's. Col.
Douglas, on his march thither, about midnight, fell in with
Gen. Wayne's advance, who fired upon our troops. Our
horse immediately fell back, the foot taking post at the sides of
the road, and upon the Rebel cavalry advancing to charge they
received such a heavy well directed fire from the Augusta vo
lunteers, commanded by Capt. Ingram and Lieu+, Holms,
and the Militia under Capt. Corker and Lieut. Jolinfton,^
brought down a number of them; they then wheeled about
and retreated, passing a fecorid time through the fire fofbur
foot. Col. Brown, finding Wayne had taken post near Ball,
lou's, turned off into the White Bluff road and came to town.
Our loss coufifts of three killed and three wounded, including
Lient. Campbell, when Capt- Atwood charged the Rebels at
Struthers's, and Col. Douglas wounded and a prisoner in the
last adion near Baillou's, and seven or eight miffing. The
Rebels bad two killed in the firft action with Jackson, and fix
or seven killed, and a number wounded, in the last brush near
Baillou's. Our people brought in about 20 of their horses.
CHARLESTOWN, June 5 ,
ON Monday last arrived here the Mercury schooner, a dis
patch boat, in eleven days from New-York.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth of our molt
gracious Sovereign, who then entered into the forty-fifth year
of his age, the military marks of joy and refped usual on th,
happy occahon, were exhibited, except the vollies o' fe?o
arms from the tr oops, which the wetness of the day prevented.
In the evening there was a Splendid illumination, and every
other testimony of loyalty and attachment to his Majesty from
the inhabitants of the garrison in general.
T he fame day arrived here the schooner Sally, Andrew Bean
manti, fi om S-. Auguifine and Savannah; also a small vessel
