Charlestown, May 12.
LORD RAWDON having on the 7th instant been reinforced
by the Corps under Lieutenant-Colonel Watson, marched
out, with the hope of bringing General Greene to adion ;
but that wary Officer, rendered still more so by the event of
the 25th of April, chose to remain in a strong position, behind
Sawney Creek, from which no efforts of his Lordship could
draw him; be rather prefering to fee his enemy manoeuvre in
his front, with all the confidence of a vidorious army, than
contft a point, of which former experience must have ren
dered him so very cautious.' t
Lord Rawdon therefore finding it impossible to draw on an
aßion, but on terms highly disadvantageous, and by assailing
a nofition, which gave the Rebels their only security, return
ed to Camden, having convinced General Greene how futile
were his ideas of blockading that place, when obliged him
fclf to feck shelter in the recedes of the country, and even
there to fuffer that blockaded Garrison to taunt him with
daily defiance.
Thus finding all efforts to engage General Greene in a fair
field, were ineffectual, Lord Rawdon removed with the
King's Troops from Camden, induced thereto, by the ap
proaching season, when that part of the country proves mot
d< dructive to the soldiery ; and as it abounds neither in riches
or provisions, which are mostly the produce of this fide the
Santee, he has only relinquished barrenness for fertility, and
difrafe for health, and taken up a position, nearly impene
trable to an enemy, perfectly in the power of co-operating
with this Garrison, and in which the communications are
not weakened by their extent. ,
/ The Commiffipners of the Markets having presented a
very publick spirited Memorial to the Board of Police com
plaining against Richard Ellis, tavern-keeper, at the Quar
ter-House, for foreftalling cattle driving to the Charleftown
market, the Board appointed a day for an inquiry into his
condua ; when it appeared that he had foreftalled the market,
by buying cattle at a very reasonable price, which he fold the
fame day at an exorbitant advance for his own private ad-
vantage; whereupon being duly convicted, the Board of
Police adjudged him to fuffer two months imprisonment, and
to forfeit the value of the cattle, amounting to one hundred and
I ^inetv-fa Guineas, according to the statute of the sth and 6th
Los Edward the 6th against forcftaliing,-llt is hoped that this
example will deter others from such oppressive and illegal
practices, whereby the inhabitants of this town have been
greatly distressed.
Extract of a Letter from Savannah, dated May 3.
" A man just arrived here who left Pensacola the rßth of
March. His accounts are, that the Spanish fleet arrived there
the beginning of the month, and soon got into the harbour,
apparently with no other loss than one small vessel having
struck to the fort at the Cliffs ; that Galvez attempted three
different times to land, and was as often repulsed, with the
loss, as was currently believed, of 300 men; that a party of
horse coming from Mobille were attacked by the Indians, who
killed 35 men and took 25 horses; that vast bodies of Indians
had joined General Campbell, and that the garrison was in
health and Spirits.—From the report of another person, who
came away about the fame time and lately arrived at Sunbury,
the enemy had landed and made several unfuccefsful attempts
upon the fort at the Cliffs; Galvez had summoned General
Campbell, but had not attempted to invest the place. I hope
soon to have more certain intelligence; upon the whole the
accounts are rather favourable."
By a vessel which arrived yesterday in 14 days from St.
Christopher, we have intelligence of the English fleet, which
faded the beginning of March, being arrived there.—They
came out with the grand fleet, consisting of 28 line of battle
fhios, with a numerous convoy defined for the relief of Gib
raltar, but parted with them soon after they got clear of the
Channel.—Admiral Darby had the command, and had under
him Sir John-Lockhart Ross.
There were no accounts of any French fleet being arrived,
when this vessel left St. Christopher. Admiral Hood was
cruising to Windward of Martinique,' with a strong squadron,
all copper fheatbed^
DEATH. Thursday last, Ensign JEneas M'Leod, ofthe
71st regiment.
BY the latest advices over land from Pensacola we have
certain accounts that Don Galvez appeared off the Bay
the it of March; that on the 9th, taking advantage of a fa
vourable wind, he passed the Cliffs with his whole fleet, con
fining of 34 fail, and landed his men, said to be between 3 and
4000, three miles below that pass ; that not choosing to leave
behind him a place naturally strong, and made much more so
by heavy cannon, he had been upwards of three weeks em
ploying his whole force, and using every effort, to take possessi
on of it, but without effect, tor our brave troops had baffled all
his attempts, having constantly demolished in the morning
what the Spaniards had done during the night: That the gar
aifon were in high spirits ; and as they had sent off two ex
presses to Jamaica, they were in daily expectation of feeing a
squadron of British men of war sent to their relief, when they
could not fail of making a compleat capture of the whole Spa
iiifh fleet.
y In the fterm yesterday at noon the ship Retrieve, which lay
at Five-Fathorn-Hole, below this town, overfet, and nine men
and two boys unfortunately perished.
By the account of sundry persons from Puryfburgh it seems
that the party of Rebels that lately were there, and who have
been magnified into scores and hundreds, hardly amounted to
the number of ten ; 'tis said they were no more than five or
fix ; a small number to venture, if they looked on the inhabi
tants as enemies, It is impossible to guard every plantation,
or hunt up eve-y bead of prey, but it is now known who re
ceives and who flies from them, whom they hurt and whom
they favour; and destroying their haunts, and securing those
that give them intelligence, will be an easy 2nd effectual way
to prevent their incursions. -•
