J C 0 P Y of the General Orders, arth ^prd,
THE arrival of his Majesty's ship Amphitrite; «ith dif
q^hes from 'Lieutenant General Earl Cornwallis,, gives
the Commander in Chief an opportunity of announcing to
this part of the army, the Victory obtained by the King s
Troons, under his Lordfllip's orders, dyer the Rebel arrhy in
North-Carolina, on the 15th of March, in his Lordship s own
w ° rds: “ Camp, at Guildford, 17th Marcb,,Bl.
« General Greene having been very considerably reinforced
from Virginia by 18 months men and militia, and having col
le&ed all the militia of this province, advanced with an army
of about § or. 6000 men, and 4 fix pounders, to this place.
T attacked him on the 15th, and after a very ffiarp action rout
ed hi° army, and took his cannon. The great fatigue of the
troop's, the number of wounded, and the want of proymon,
prevented our pursuing them beyond the Reedy Fork the af
ternoon of the a&ion. ,
The Garrison to be prepared to fire a fra dejote.,
April 30. Last Saturday evening a Feu de Joie was fired
here by all the troops in Garrison, in consequence of the Vic
tory' obtained by Lord Cornwallis, over the Rebel Army
under General Greene, at Guildford Court-House, Noith-Ca
rolina, the 15th of March last. „
We learn there are several flout privateers now fitting out.
in the eastern ports, which we hear are intended to intercept
the fleet from England bound to Quebeck, &c. &c. as they
' did some time ago ; but we hope that they will be disappoint
ed, as we make no doubt whatever vessels may co,ne out, will .
have a proper convoy. . . .^
The following vessels have been taken and carried into New-
London since the Bth infL—Sloop Sophia, Wifeham ; and brig
fenny, Robinson, from Jamaica; brig Three Sifters, Brown,
from St. Kitts, by the privateer brig Deane, Capt. Scoffield.
schooner Seaflower, Dunn, for Quebeck : Brig Admiral Rod
ney, Hollidav ; and brig Bermuda, Hunter, from Jamaica,
by the privateer fidop Lively, Capt. Latham, who used his
prisoners like a gentleman; but we are told those taken by the
Deane experienced the reverie treatment.
In the Virginia, formerly the Aurora, came passenger, Bartlet
Goodrich, Efa. The ship left London the middle of January,
and some of the out ports about the 25th of February.
Ne^-rork, May 2. The latef taccounts from Rhode-Ifland
' inform us, that a number of transports with invalids on board,
failed a few days ago under the convoy of two frigates for
Old France; arid that a considerable detachment of French
troops had marched southwards, to garrison Fort Defiance
at Weft Point, and reinforce Mr. Washington's army.
A gentleman in this, town has papered a considerable part

crossed the Sound on Friday, evening, the 27th ult. and landed
on the coast of Connecticut, at twelve o'clock at night. The
party, aftertaking a circuit of fix miles came to Norwalk
1 bridge, surrounded the house of Colonel St. John, and made
I prisoner, of the Colonel and his foil, with a Mr. Isaacs, a young
man who happened to be in St. John's house.—Mr. St. John
is a Lieutenant-Colonel of the Rebel Militia, a Justice of Peace,
a Member of Assembly, and one of the Assistants to Mr. Jo
natuan Trumbull, the Rebel Governour of Connecticut.
Charlestown, May 23.
WE have been favoured with the following intelligence
from Pensacola, lately received, over land, at Savannah.
On the 9th of March, the Spanish fleet, consisting of thirty
three fail, appeared off the harbour of Pensacola, and anchor
ed a little to the eastward of the weft point of St. Rofe's
I^nd.
The Mentor and Port Royal men of war being Rationed in
filch a manner, as to co-operate with the battery of heavy
artillery at the Red Cliffs, in defending the entrance of the
harbour; Don Galvez found it necessary to land his troops
bn St. Rofe's Tfland- where he erected a battery against our
two vessels, and obliged them to retire.
Having accomplished this, and got his vessels considerably
lightened; he'took advantage of a frefh sea breez'e on the 21st
of March, to pais the battery at Red^Cliffs, under a very
heavy fire, and anchored at Tartar Point, two miles above
the fort..
Two days after, on the arrival of 13 vessels with a rein
forcement, consisting chiefly of the Louisiana militia, the
enemy attempted to carry the works at the Red Cliffs by
form, but were repulsed with very considerable loss.
Foiled in his attack on this post, Dou Galvez attempted a
landing at Mr. Neele's plantation, four miles above Tartar
Point, and one mile below the town of Pensacola; here he
was equally unfuccefsful, being driven off by a party from
Fort George on Gage Hill, commanded by Capt. Johnftone,
of the Royal Artillery, whose gallantry and good conduct on
this occafibn did him great honour.
• These checks occasioned the Spanish General bringing up
two gallies, under whose fire'he at length effeded a landing
at Neele's; where he pitched his camp in a meadow, about
a mile and an half distant from Gage Hill, upon Which an as
sault was made, and the Spaniards were, again repulied.
From the best accounts, the Spaniards had upwards of
three hundred of their best troops killed in their several af
fauhs and attempts to land. , „ . .„
When the person by whom this intelligence is received,
left Pensacola (early in April) there were only three Spanish fri
gates in the harbour, and no other of the enemy's ships of war
were in the offing, or known to be in that neighbourhood. The
garrison in Fort George was said to consist of 900 men, soldiers,
sailors aid militia; and that at the Red Cliffs of 300 men,
principally sailors, under the command of Capt. Dean, of the
Mentor. Great numbers of Chodaw, Chickefaw and Creek
Indians had joined General Campbell, and rendered consider
able service in. hurrahing the Spaniards, who durst not venture
out of their camp in final! parties. Our troops, from the
I fuccefs they had already experienced, and being well supplied
I with provisions and every other necessary for sustaining a siege,
Iwere in the highest spirits, and did not entertain a doubt of
idefending their posts for several months; in which time it is
I to be hoped they will obtain fucli relief from Jamaica, as with
I their own gallant efforts, will render abortive this fourth at
tempt of the Spaniards against that garrison.
L~ By the Richmond frigate, we have the pleasure of being
informed, that the Goodrich ' privateer, Capt. Buchanan, be
longing to Messrs. Shedden and Goodrich, of New-York, in
