the 14th regiment, and most of the soldiers were grena
diers of that regiment. As the Captain was a gallant
and brave officer, I promised to inter him with all the
military honours due to his great merit, which I hope
will meet with the approbation of the Honourable the
Convention. About 250 Carolina men are arrived, un
der the command of Col. Vail, with 6 pieces of cannon,
and a quantity of powder."

Extras of a Letter from Major Spfyocd, of Col. Wood
ford's regiment, to a friend in this city, dated Great-
Bridge, December &.
“ We were alarmed this morning by the firing of some
guns just after reveille beating, which, as the enemy had
paid us this compliment several times, we at fixft con
cluded to be nothing but a morning salute; but, in a
jhort time after, I heard Adjutant Blackburn call out,
Beys, sand to your arms. Col. Woodford and myfelt im
mediately got equipped and ran out. The Colonel prefied
down to the breag-wotk, in cur front; and my alarm post
being 250 yards in another quarter, 1 ran to it as faft as I
could, and by the time I had made all ready for engaging,
a very heavy fire ensued at the breaft-worfc, in which were
met more than 6o men. It continued for about halt an
hour, when the King's troops gave way, after fuftaiming
©onfiderable loss, and behaving like true born English
men. They marched up to our entrenchments with fixed
bayonets; our young troops received them with firmnefs,
and behaved as well as it was poftibie for soldiers to do.
Capt. Leslie, of the regulars, commanded the fort on the
other fide of the bridge, Capt. Fordyce, of the grenadiers,
led the van with his company, and Lieut. Batut comman
ded the advanced party. The former got killed within a
few yards of the breast-work, with 12 privates. The
Lieutenant, with 16 soldiers, were taken\ prisoners, all
wounded. Several others were carried into the fort,
under cover of their cannon ; and, from the blood on the
bridge, they must have loft one halt of the detachment.
It would appear that Providence was on our fide; lory
during the whole engagement, we loft nota man, and only
one was slightly wounded in the hand. Col. .Woodford
is a brave officer, and a man I love. He had Captain
Fordyce buried with the military honours due to his rank,
and all the prisoners that fell into our hands, taken the
greatest care of. We have not, as yet, been able to
afeertain the number killed and wounded on their fide.
Three officers fufees, with bayonets and carteuch boxe,
fell into our hands, from which we judge that there were
three commissioned officers killed. As loon as a general
return can be made out, it will be sent to the Honourable
Convention. lam at present in the greatest hurry, and
can only give an account of what I ( have seen."
“ L. Col. Stephen arrived at Kemp's landing last
Might, and agreeable to my orders lent a party to
secure every person in that neighbourhood, that had
left Norfolk since the battle of the Great Bridge.
He informs he has Mr. Max. Calvert, Do&or
Campbell, Mr. Mathew Phripp, and others, now
with him, whose examination I now enclose. I have
had a number of people from thence to-day, whose
stories disagree. They bring two petitions, one
from the poor inhabitants of Norfolk, the other from
the distressed Highlanders, which I likewise fend
enclosed; and, having given no answers to them yet,
have detained the bearers for farther consideration.--
Two gentlemen this moment broughtme in a young
Scotchman, named Hamilton, who cenfeffes he has
bore arms, and was at this fort in Gilmour's com
pany ; he was making his way to Nanfemond. I have
ordered him to be coupled to one of his black brother
soldiers, with a pair of handcuffs, whichis the resolu
tion I have taken shall be the fate of all those cattle,
till I am further inftru&ed by your Honorable House.
I enclose a copy of my advertisement, dispersed over
Princess Anne and Norfolk counties, and hope it
will meet with your a,probation.---Major Eppes

march to morrow with a number of the troops,---!
am just informed that several fail of vessels were
arrived to day, thought to have troops on board,
but Col. Howe supposes them to be the tenders re
turning from North-Carolina,"
'' A servant belonging to Major Marshall, who de
serted the other night from Cul. Scott's party, has com
pleatly taken his Lordihip in. Lieut. Batut, who is
wounded, and at present my prisoner, informs, that this
fellow told them that not more than 300 Ihirtmen were
here; and that imprudent man catched at the bait, dis
patching Captain Lertie with all the regulars (about 200)
who arrived at the bridge about three o'clock in the morn
ing, joined by about 300 black and white slaves, laid
planks upon the bridge, and cofled just after our reveille
had beat '; a lucky time for us, and you'll fay rather an
improper season for them to make their pulh, when, of
course, all our men must be under arms. The above
Lieutenant commanded the advanced patty, and Captain
Fordyce, of the grenadiers, led the van with his compa
ny, who, for his coolness and bravery, deserved a better
fate, as well as the brave fellows who fell with him, who
behaved like heroes; They marched rip to our breast
work with fixed bayonets, and perhaps a hotter fire never
happened, or a greater carnage, for'the number of troops.
None of the blacks, &c. in the redr with Cbpt. Leslie,
advanced farther than the bridge. I have the pleasure to
inform you, that the victory was complete, anti that most
of the dead and wounded, with 1,0 pieces of cannon,
were carried off undercover of their guns from the fort.
We buried 12, besides the Captain (him with all military
honours due to his rank) and have prisoners Lieut. Batut
and 16 privates, all wounded; 35 stands of arms and ac
coutrements, 3 officers fufees, powder, ball and cartridges,
with sundry other things, have Jikewife fallen into our
hands. This was a second Bunlcer's-hill affair, in minia
ture, with this difference, that we kept our post, and
had only one n 1 wounded in the hand."
fwer from the commander of the fort.—" Capt. Leslie
presents bis compliments to Mr. Batut, and returns Colonel
Woodford bis sincere thanks for the kind treatment of the
prisoners. He is happy Mr. Batut's wound is foflight, but
is extremely ferry for the loss of poor Fordyce." The un
fortunate Capt. Fordyce was a Captain of grenadiers in
Great Bridge, December 11./
" Since I wrote yeferday, nothing of moment has
happened, but the enemy's abandoning the fort. We
took possession of it in the morning, and found therein 6
pieces of cannon, which they had spiked up, 7 guns and
a bayonet, a few shot, a quantity of spades and (hovels,
some bedding, 2 barrels of bread, 20 quarters of beef, a
box and a half of candles, 4 or 5 iron pots, a few dozen
of bottles, some axes, and old lumber. From the great
eftufion of blood on the bridge and in the fort, from the
accounts of the sentries, who saw many bodies carried out
of the fort to be interred, and other circumstances, I
conceive their loss to be much greater than I thought it
was yesterday, and the victory to be complete.---Lieut.

of the humane treatment he has met with here, I dif

The defeat of the British regulars at the Great
Bridge, last Saturday, struck the ei,emy into such
dreadful conservation and terror, that after abandon
ing their fort, they thought it most prudent to retire
from Norfolk; and take refuge on board the fliips.
It is imagined our troops will take possession of that
place without opposition, and hoped that they will
soon be able to drive the pirates from the harbour.---
It is reported, that Lord Dunmore has requeued an
exchange of prisoners, and that the King's soldiers
killed and wounded in the battle amounted to 102,
eleven only of the grenadiers having escaped.
We are credibly Informed, that the People of the
Massachusetts Bay, have compleated 13,000 Suits of
Soldiers Clothes entirely of their Own Wool, Flax,
and Manufactory, since the Battle of Lexington.
By Captain Lippit, who arrived at Providence,
(Rhode-Ifland) from the Weft-Indies, we are in-*
formed, that on the 17th of October, a violent Gale
of Wind happened at St. Euftatia, in which 63 fail
of Vessels were obliged to put to Sea, but they all
had the good Fortune to return in five Days. At
St. Kitts 12 fail were loft, not being able to put out.
Captain Lippit was informed at St. Euftatia, that an
English Vessel, loading with Salt, at Saltertuda, had
been seized by a Spanish armed Vessel. He touched
at Turk's-Island about the tenth of November, and
was told by the Governor of that Iflnnd, that a Ship
of War from Jamaica, was daily expe&ed there, to
prevent Vessels from the Northern Colonics taking
in Salt.

sued for protection.
A flag of truce came into Col. Woodford a few
days ago, from Lord Dunmore, proposing an ex
change of Prisoners, which was brought by Lieut.
Wallace of the 14th regiment, and a certain Mr.
Blair, late of Smithfield, merchant. Col. Wood
ford returned for answer, that he fliould consult the
Honourable Contention, and acquaint him with their
determination.,
The Gentlemen who are now prisoners with Lord
Dunmore are, Col. Hutchings, Cel. Lawson, Capt.
Hunter, Mr. Thoreughgood, and 12 private men.
---He has sent to Bolton Mr. Robinibn, one of the
Delegates for Princess Anne, with Capt. Matthews
and Capt. Deane.---Capt. William Goodrich, whom
he lately took prisoner in Nanfertiond, is sent out, it
is laid, in one of the tenders.
It is said that Lord Dunmore intends shortly for
the Weft-Indies, with his cargo of slaves, to make
the most of them before his departure for England ;
as by letters lately received, it is affirmed that he
would be speedily recalled, his conduct in Virginia
being much censured by the Ministry.
On Tuesday last, a large schooner from the Weft-
Indies bound for Norfolk, was taken and brought
into Hampton by our men Rationed there. She was
laden with rum and frigar, and had £7OO dollars on
board.,
A few days ago fix of Lord Dunmore's men defec
ted from the Otter. They met some of ourmen,
on their way to this city, by whom they were treated
with the utmost hospitality; in return, they affirted
us, with the highest pleasure, in Rowing away our
baggage, and in expediting our troops to their defi
ned place, When they were asked whet indued them
to leave Dunmore; they answered, “ Hungry bellies
naked backs, and no fuel, besides, in other refpe&s,
the molt cruel and inhuman treatment."
Campbell, of Norfolk, who, besides several other gen
tlemen of that borough, had surrendered themselves to
Col. Woodford, and sued for protection. Lord Dunmore
we hear, swears most turioufly that he will bombard
Norfolk, should the shirt-men come into it. They molt
certainly will, so that we need not be amazed to hear,
soon, of that place's being laid in affies.
Wednesday Evening came to Town, mvo of the

that they were greatly distressed, especially since the
Store Ship was taken by Capt. Manly, which had
much dispirited them ; that Fuel and Provisions of
all Sorts were exceeding scarce, the Army being at
an Allowance of 41b. of Pork, and two Loaves of
Bread per Week each Man, that 30 Men from each
Company were ordered with Saws and Axes to cut
up the Wharfs, Old Meeting House, &c. fer Fuel,

her Biother, who just before waited on two Ladies
home from his Houle, had net left her above half an
Hour) had her Cloaths let on fire by a Spark from
the Hearth, which, before she awaked, spread to such
a Heighth, that all her Efforts to extinguish it were
in vain. In this Situation she had Fortitude and Pre
sence of Mind, to endeavour to get out at the Street
Door ; but here a Rrong Lock refilled her greatest Ef
forts, altho' she pvas jo long in the Attempt, that the
Paint on the Door and Wainscot was railed into Blif

burnt to a Coal : Her next Attempt was at the Yard
Door, which, after pushing back two large Bolts,
and removing an Iron Bar, she opened, and was Ren

who had been awaked by her Cries, coming out a
Pyramid of Flame ! She immediately threw herfelf
on the Snow, but notwithstanding this favourable
Circumstance, the Fire was not extinguished until a
Neighbour, who had been called up on Purpole, ar
rived to her Affidance. Her Cloaths were literally
burnt to Athes, so that hardly a Cinder remained ;
the Paint on the Back Door, like that on the Front,
was railed into Blilters, and several large Spots on
the Floor in the Entry were burnt to a Coal. From
the Snow she was wrapped up in a Sheet and carried
to her Bed, until proper AiTißance could be called to
her Relief ; - (nit here we mud quit Narration, for to
