PHILADELPHIA,
Aug. 15. The London Gazette of June 4, contains
two long letters from Lord Cornwallis to Lord Geo.
Germaine, giving an account of his proceedings from
the time he left Charleftown till the 17th of March,
two days after the battle at Guildford (the substance
of which has already been published in this paper)
also the following,
Extras of a letter from Earl Cornwallis to Lord Geo.
Germaine, dated Wilmington, April 18, 1781.
" I marched from Guildford on the morning of
the 18th of March, and next day arrived at Bell's-
Mill, where I gave the troops two days rest, and
procured a fmail supply of provisions. From thence
I proceeded llowly towards Cross-Creek, attending
to the convenience of subsistence, and the movement
of our wounded. On my way I issued a proclamati
on, and took every other means in my power, to
reconcile enemies and encourage our friends to join
us.
“ From all my information, I intended to have
halted at Cross-Creek, as a proper place to refrefh
and refit the troops; and I was much disappointed
on my arrival there to find it totallyimpoflible. Pro
visions were scarce, nor four days forage within 20
miles, and to us the navigation of the Cape-Fear
river to Wilmington impracticable; for the distance
by woter is upwards of 100 miles: Under these
circumstances, I was obliged to continue my march
to this place, m the neighbourhood of which (arriv
ed on the 7th instant.
“ I have been busy since my arrival in disposing of
our sick and wounded, and procuring the necehary
fupplie, to put the troops in a proper Rate to take
the held.
" Captain Schutz died a few days after the aftion,
as we expected; but 1 am sorry to inform your
Lordihip, that notwithstanding the flattering appear
ances, and theaffurances cf the surgeons, Colonel
Webster (whose loss is severely felt by me and the
whole army) Capt. Maynard of the guards, Captain
Wimoufkyand Ensign De Trott, of the regiment
of Bose, are since dead.
" Major Craig, who took possession of this place
on the latter end of January, has conduced .hrmfclf
with great zeal and capacity, having, with a very
fmali fores not only secured the post from all insult,
but made himfelf refpedable in this part of the coun
try by several iuccelhful excurfiem.
" I shall not trouble your Lordihip on the fubjed
of South-Carolina, having direded Lord Rawdon,
who commands on the frontiers, and Lieutenant
Colonel Balfour, commandant of Charleftown, to
take every opportunity of communicating to your
Lordfnip, as well as the Commander in Chief, the
Rate of affairs in that province ; as they are both
officers of capacity and great merit, I trust that their
conduct will have given falisfaflion.

and pasture for their horses, by said Beaty.
^ r f BE Printer of the New-Jersey Gazette
I has long experienced the perplexities and
losses attending outstanding accounts, and the want
of punctual payments. Although the price is now
as low as the expences of paper, wages, &c. will
admit, yet for the fake of avoiding these inconve
niencies, he would be willing to make an extraor^
dinary abatement, were the price of a yea r paid by
advance within a reasonable time. He therefore
proposes to set the paper for a year at Tr T ID,
lings, gold or silver, provided the fame be ad
vanced at any time within three months from the
25th of last month, when the year commenced, and
the whole of a packet be on that footing. He will
also in this case take produce at the current market
rates. If by any means whatever the paper should
be difeontinued, the money or produce will be return
ed in due proportion. Thole fubferibers for the
present year, who do not prefer these terms will be
considered under those mentioned in this Gazette
the 25th alt. No. 187.
The Printer earnestly requests the packet-mas
ters and ethers who are in arfear, to pay off their
refpe&ive balances immediately.
