Freehold, having given orders to the advanced Party
of the Army on the March, accordingly. The Re
bel Battalions /hewing themselves with a Disposition
to stand, the Commander in Chief ordered the Rear
of the Army to form in the Front, and the Light
Horse to advance, and Charge those in the Front of
the Wood leading to Freehold Court-House, at the
fame Time commanding the firft Battalion of Guards
to support the Cavalry, and follow the Charge with
Bayonets, while the Cavalry were advancing, during
the Moment in which the Guards were Loading,
in Consequence of Orders, they received a Fire on the
Right from the Wood, of 30b of the Enemy posted
in Ambush. Orders were now given to face to the
Right, and Charge through the Wood. This Order
was executed with such Alacrity, that the Rebels
were forced with Bayonets through a deep Morass, a
Wood hardly penetrable, during a very hot Fire,
.cross a Plain and Ravine, to the Edge of a second
Wood ; when the Ardour of the Troops was most
judiciously flopped by Orders from the General, who
perceiving them affected by the excessive Heat of the
Weather; this Influence having occafiohed a Check
to the foft Line of the Rebel Army, they retreated
under the Cover of a Cannonade, which occasioned
the Loss of the gallant Lieut. Col. Monckton, and
several other very refpe&able Officers.
In this Affair the firft Battalion of Guards, and a
Part of the British Grenadiers charged, and occafi
ooedtfterfe route of the whole Rebel Army, con
feffed by themselves, to consist of Fourteen Thou
sand Men, and led by their molt approved Officers.
The whole Line of March confided of thirteen
Miles extent, was effected without the Loss of a
single Waggon, howsoever molested and harraffed
by the whole Rebel Army.
Col. Trelawney, who commanded the firft Batta
lion of British Guards, and was dangerously wound
ed at the Affair of Freehold, on the 29th of June,
we have the Pleasure to hope is out of Danger, and
fo,are almost all of the either Gentlemen present in
this Affair.
