Charlestown, January 23.'
Copy °f a L etter from his Excellency Sir Henry Clinton,
K. B. to Brigadier-General Stewart.
SIR, Neou-York, December zoth, 1781.
+ AM honoured with your letters of the 16th and 17th ult.
I and have also received from Lieutenant-Colonel Balfour, a
copy of y°" r letter to Lord Cornwallis, of the 9th September,
with the returns accompanying it.
I had before the receipt of your letters, sent a copy of the
fait mentioned one to the Minister ; and I desire you will do
me the honour to accept my thanks for your conduct in the
action of Eutaw Springs ; and be pleased to fignify to the offi
cers and men under your command, the sense I entertain oftheir
very spirited exertions in a conflict, which appears to have been
so very unequal by your account.
I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that I have confirmed
your appointment of Brigadier-General in the army under my
command, and have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient and
Mort humble servant,
Brig. Cen. Stewart. H. CLINTON.
Since our lak arrived here his Majefty^ ship Charleftown,
Capt. George, with the remainder of the fleet from New-
York for this place. By the Charleftown a considerable film
of money has been received for the use of the Southern army.
We learn from Ntw-Yoik, that Captain Stapkton, of the
17th dragoons, is appointed Adjutant-General to the Southern'
Army; Mr. Bain, Auditor of Accounts, and Deputy Muster-
Maftcr, in the Southern Dist riiff; and J.Town, Efe; Deputy
Superintendant of this port. The two former gentlemen are
arrived in the Charkftown, as aie also Major Darby of the
,th, Capt. Rickets of the 60th, Dr. Rush of the Guards, and
Lieut. M'Quarie of the 71st.
On Thursday last his , fajefty's ship Chath am, Capt.Douglp ft,
arrived off the bar of this harbour, being on a cruize from
New-York, which she left on the 3d of this month. Since
that time she has taken the following vessels; the brig Olive,
Freeman, Matter, from St. Croix, with rum, sugar and salt;
the sloop Sally, Christie, Master, from Philadelphia, with flour,
tobacco and saves; and a brig from the Weft-Indies, with
rum, coffee, &c. The latter got ashore on the Coffin Land,
to the fou:hward of our bar; but fortunately the lives of
every person on board of her were saved. The vehel was
aht^irds burnt.
On Sunday arrived here the fchooncr General Mathew,
Fullarton, Tfc.hcr, in 11 days from New-York ; and the sloop
Adventure, ThomfoQ Master, from New-Providence.
Yesterday arrived b.ere the brig Phoenix from Madeira, but
last from Bermuda, which place flic left fourteen days ago:
flic was chaced off this coast by a 74 gun flrip and a frigate.
By a vcffel from St. Lucia which arrived at Bermuda the
day before the Phcenix failed, intelligence was brought, that
the French fleet, coplifting of 26 fail of the lir§ and having on
board a confidei able number of troops, had DR Martinique
on an expedition ; the object of which w&s fuppofedio be the
island of Barbados. Our fleet under Sir Samuel Hood, con
fining of 23 fail of the line, was thert lying at Barbados, whi
ther also had been sent a reinforcement of 2000 men from St.
Lucia, under the apprehension that it would be attacked.
From the accounts we have received of the ships sent fiom
Britain and New-York to reinforce the fleet under the com
mand of Sir Samuel Hood, it must have amounted, some weeks
ago, to thirty-one fail of the line.
Rebel Intelligence.
New-London, fConnecticut j November 30. We hear that
hk week, Major Davis, and Captain Grinnel, being ashore at
Sag-harbour with several men, were betrayed and taken pri
soners by a Heffiun Major and about twenty light horse. Davis
and Grinnel had two armed boats with them,'which the ene
^ were about felting on fire; but Captain Wickham in an
c^i ^nn sloop from Stonington, about the fame time coming
to, novthe boats, protested and brought them off.
Last Fr&y a guard under the command of Ensign Andrew
Griswold Rationed at Lyme, discovered a whale boat in a frefh
pend near Black Point, and fufpe&ing it came from Long-
Bland, they set a guard of five men over the boat, and the
right after four others of the guard with Ensign Griswold,
went towards the house of the noted Elisha Beckwith ; one of
the party named Noah L,%r, advancing faftcr than the rest,
was challenged by Beckwith's wife, who was near the house;
this alarmed ten men who were in the house, well armed, and
they immediately seized upon and made prisoner ofLefter. and
earned him into the house. Soon after the other four of the
guard came to the house (not knowing that Letter was a pri
soner) and went directly in, where they discovered the ten
persons in arms; a firuffie immediately ensued between them,
and after some time the guard secured fix of the party, among
them was Elisha Beckwith; the other four made their cfcape
into the woods, but they were all, except one, taken the next
day; they came in the above boat from Long-lfland, and wire
under the command of Thomas Smith, formerly of Middle
town, who had a captain's commission under tht',Brtyfh King.
Eliflia Beckwith went off with the enemy the 6th of September
last, when they made their defeent on this place. The above
culprits are secured in Norwich gaol.
I Newport, (Rhode-ifand) J) e c. 8. Yesterday arrived in a
fife port, a prize brig, called the Free Briton', captured by
I the ship Delaware, Capt. Proul, of Philadelphia ; the above
i prize was from Jamaica bound to London, and has on board
aoo hqgiheads of fugai.
r/’°^'°""'' (N^-^rnfflire) December 8. We hear from
i n the county of Cheshire, in this Stale, on the
cat fide of Connecticut river, that Colonel Enock Hale, of
findge, the high fheriff of said county, havingr/xived orders
to proceed to that town, and there to liberate two prisoners
™ c ° nfi ° cd i? the county goal by the usurped autho-
Ib 'ermont, having demanded the kevs, and being denied,
I 1 attempted to break open the prison doors, but was'knocked
I°opbyl ° o pby two men, and much-wounded ; and application being
I" % eto one Giles, a new made Justice in Vermont, (who has
c °^ n nfiion under Ncw-Hampfhire all the war till lately)
P™' c f) "t a warrant, and committed the high
c !°fe prisoner, where he remained at the last account..
1 " at length arrived, big with the Fate of Vermont
I Ncw-Hampfhire ;—now we feel the want of a ovell
4 government, to put in force its laws, and which we
ope loon to fee. If the high fheriff can be imprifoTied within
so ?wn county goal, of which he was appointed the keeper,
% '™ B °'"" s State, and in the execution of his office,
to ° by the authority ofa man anting under the pre-
State of Vermont, without a spirited resentment to the
' ofthe attempt, adieu to all government; the way is
I^cf'"' and the remedy is at hand. This attack upon the
Perlon of one of the executive officers of this State will con
'nc Honourable Congress of the necessity of quelling these
I ; f ° r . b y indulging them with only a hearing on the
° a union, they have taken it for granted, they are
fail' recognized as a State; but if any thing might once be
+ r '"°™ before, this presumptuous condud will
Itan favourable impression ; and if the United States
''conf A°^ tra . m pl e d upon and their resolves disregarded, the
paraxon is set at nought ; therefore nothing less than a so-
tenin resolve to annihilate this usurped State, can be the eon-
Sequence of an application from this State.
Baltimore, (Maryland) December 11. A French frigate
from York river, Virginia, now lies near North-Point, a few
miles below our harbour.
Philadelphia, December 27. On Monday last the ship Hope,
Capt. , for St. Thomas's, in going down the liver,
ran on a wreck near Billingfport, where it is feared ihe will
be loft.
