The royal gazette — [Charleston] S.C., 1781-04-11 00:00:00, page 3

By his Majesty's ship Pearl, which arrived here yesterday
evening, we have the pleasure to learn that Lord Cornwal
lis, with his Army, was advanced to Livingston's Creek, on
Cape Fear River.
As Colonels Fenwicke and Lechmere were yesterday visiting
their Hospital, some small distance from the redoubt at Poco
taligo, they were furprized and taken prisoners by a small
partv of Rebels, when a more considerable body summoned
the fort, which being deprived of the presence of those Of
ficers, and the defendants chiefly composed of Militia,' Was
immediately surrendered. This misfortune is in a great mea
sure attributable to the want of drift discipline in the Militia
Videtts, who by quitting their advanced posts, fuffered the
enemy, unnoticed, to get round, and by that means accom
plish their purpose. :
Captain Inglis, of the Delight man of war, stationed at
Cape Fear, lately took up one of the small Rebel gallies which
have infefted this coast so much ; the had overfet and driven
into Cape Fear River ; only two out of 14 men on board,
were saved.
