" Geneal Wayne, with the legion and light in
fantry (a General Gift was absent, and too unwell
to contiue his command) had been before the ene
my's w' r ks for several days previous to the evacu
ation. General Le(lie, by his Adjutant General,
hintec to General Wayne, through Mr. Morrice
Simnons, one of the citizens of Charleftown, his
appehenfions that an attack from us might lay the
tovn in ashes, and that if they were permitted to
enbark without interruption, every care should be
taken for its preservation.
“ Knowing the impossibility of doing the enemy
any material injury on their embarkation in a forti
fied town, and under cover of their (hipping, and
being well informed, that some attempts had been
made by some of the refugee followers of the Bri
tilh army before the place, I directed the General
to make the fafety of the town the firft object ; and
that if a treaty was necessary for this purpose, to
enter into one, rather than expose the place, for
the little advantage which might be obtained over
the rear guard. The General accordingly, from
the intimation of the Adjutant-General, very judi
ciously agreed to let them embark without molesta
tion, they agreeing not to fire upon the town after
getting on board.
“ The conditions being understood by both par
ties, the town was evacuated and possessed without
the least confufion, our advance following close up
on their rear. The Governor was conducted into
his capital the fame day, the civil police established
the day following, and the day after the town
opened for business.
“ This important event gives us compleat pos
session of all the southern states. The Struggle and
conflict has been long and severe: but when it is
considered that the enemy had upwards of eighteen
thousand regular troops, besides several thousand
militia and negroes, employed for the reduction of
the southern states, I hope it will be found that the
progress of the southern army has been no less ho
nourable than important, and that it will merit the
approbation of Congress through every stage of its
operations.
“ I should be wanting in gratitude to the army,
was I to omit expressing my warmest acknowledg
ments for the zeal and activity with which they
attempted and persevered in every enterprize, and
for the patience and dignity with which they bore
their fufferings. Perhaps no army ever exhibited
greater proofs of patriotism and publick virtue. It
has been my constant care to alleviate their distres
ses as much as possible, but my endeavours have
been far Short of my wishes or their merit.
The Secretary at war and Major Burnet, one of
my aids, who will have the honour of delivering
this defpatch, will communicate to your Excellen
cy, such farther particulars as you may wish to
know of the force and lituation of the army under
my command. Publiffied by order of Congress,
