CHARLESTOWN, July 3.
ON Monday arrived here a cartel schooner, Capt. Forester,
from New-Providence after a pafTage of twelve days.
By a gentleman who came paffenfcr in one of the flags of
truce from New Providence, we learn that on the gift ult they
fell in with his Majesty's Ihips Princess Caroline, and Zebra,
who informed them, that they left Port Royal, Jamaica, about
the beginning of laftmonth, in company with five fail of car
tel vessels, filled with French prisoners, taken by Admiral Rod
ney on the 12th of April last, from whom they parted two
•days before, bn their Way to France.
From the fame Ihips the following intelligence was also re
ceived.
That some days previous to their departure from Port-
Royal, Vice-Admiral Parker ha^ftiled for Great-Britain with
a large fleet of merchantmen, with a strong convoy, having
on board the Count de Grafle on board his own ship; that
Admiral Rodney was manning fix line of battle ships, his
prizes, who were in every other refpea ready for sea, and
intended as soon as he received official accounts of his recall, to
proceed with them to Great-Britain; and it was expected that
in a few days after their departure, Sir Samuel Hood with a
fleet of thirty fail of the line, compleatly fitted, would be
ready to fail for his former Ration at Cape Francois, to block
up the Flattered remains of the French fleet, which frill lay
there, with 8 or 9 Spanish fail of the line.
Some French officers paflengers on board the Princess Caro
lina informed a gentleman who went on board her from the
Flag, that by the most exad treturns they had yet received of
their killed, Wounded, and prisoners in the late action, their
whole lot's did not amount to less than 15000 men.
The Zebra had taken a Spanish fenooner laden with sugar,
and was proceeding for Savannah with her prize, when the
flag of truce left her four d^ys ago.
On Monday also arrived here the schooner Little Ned, Col
lins, from St. Augufline, and-sloop , Macieod, from
Savannah.
Letters from Georgia mention an engagement to have
lately happened between a body of Indians and the Rebel ar
my under General Wayne: The following is the moftauthen
tick account of that event which we have been able to obtain.
A party of Creeks, about 160 in number, headed by Emifte
feco or the Big Fellow, who were coming down from their
nation towards Savannah, with a large drove of horses for the
life of his Majesty's tro ?ps, on the night of the 23d of last
month, by accident fell upon the rear of the Rebel encamp
ment at Mrs. Gibbon's plantation, about five miles from the
town The Indians conceiving the party that lay there to be
no more than a picket, instantly attacked them ; the Rebels on
the other hand, finding themselves furprized, and imagining
it-was from ri plan concerted by the frobps in the garrnon, inq
mediately gave way and fled on all sides. The Indians pushed
forward and gained possession of the enemy's camp, and even
of their field pieces; being dill of option, however, that the
party they had routed, was but a detachment from the main
body, and that they could not therefore venture to rally before
they were reinforced, they betook themselves to plunder.
Wayne in the mean time, having dilcovered that the attack
was only from one quarter, and not a part of a general at
tack as he had firft thought, rallied hisfr iops, and in his turn,
fell upon his enemies while in disorder. The Indians after
making fame refinance, were obliged to retreat before supe
rior numbers and difciplirie, and abandon their plunder and
the field pieces, leaving however not more than two or three
of their number killed. On the n<dt morning they com
menced the attack a second time; but were rcpulfed with
loss ; upwards of ?@ being said to be killed and miffing.
In the course of one of the actions, a single combat was
fought between the Indian Chief, and the Rebel General.
Wayne's horse was ihot under hint, and the tomahawk of Emi
ftefeco was uplifted and in the moment of putting an end to
his exigence, when, at that inffan't, a rebel dragoon came up,
and saved the life of his commander, by dispatching the Indian
Warrior with his sword.
*** A meeting of the Diredors of the I otter, for th benefit
of the Refugee Poor, is requested on Saturday next, at the State-
House, at one o'clock.
