.NEW-YOR K, May 21.
MORNING ORDERS.
BY a vessel arrived this morning from
Charleftown, the Commander in Chief
received the following account from Lieuten
ant Colonel Balfour, which he has the fatis
fa&i n to announce to the Army.
On the 9th of April, General Green, with
about 1400 Continentals, and a Body of Mili
tia came before Camden,-where he continued,
changing his pofi ions, till the 25th; on the
morning of which Lord Rawdon, with the
greatest part of his garrison, upwards of eight
hundred, marched out, and about ten o'clock
attacked him in his camp at Habkirk's Hill,
with that conduct and spirit which claimed'the
victory he gained, though long contested, and
against superior numbers, efpecialJy of cavalry,
the enemy's advantage in which hindered the
purfoit being continued further than 3 miles,
and enabled them to take off their cannon,
which they at firft preserved by drawing out of
the road into thickets, where they escaped the
troops eager in pursuit of the flying Rebels.
The enemy's loss on this occasion is estima
ted by Lord Rawdon at about 500 men, and
his own at about zeo, in which number is one
Officer killed, and 11 wounded, but not dan
geruully.
.CHARLESTOWN, May 7.
GENERAL ORDERS,,
Head-Quarters, Camden, April 26, 1781.
LORD, RAWDON hopes the troops will
be convinced, that he has the most lively sense
of their manly and intrepid behaviour, in the
well.fought adion of yesterday.
He feels most warmly how much he is in
debted to the conduct and gallantry of Lieut.
Col Campbell, Majors Campbell, Frazer and
Coffin ; Captains St.Leger,Kane, & Robertson,
commanding the corps and detachments, and
Lieut Laye, commanding the artillery. Every
other officer in the field fulfilled the separate
duty of his station, with such zeal and courage,
that it is impossible to particularize further:
And Lord Rawdon must request them to ac
cept his grateful thanks and address to the
whole. He has h wever such personal oblige
tions to Mejor of Brigade Doyle, and to Lieu
tenants Rankin and Stark, anting as Aid de
Camps, for the great assistance they rendered
him, that he must add this public aellimony of
his gratitude and their merit.
On Thursday arrived the prize brig Unity,
pierced for 14 guns, Brown, late master,
Majeliy's Ihip Guanaloupe.
Attack of the new post lately taken by the Refugees
who diftingui/bed thentelues in defending their
Block-Houje upon Hudson's River, on the 21st
of left July:
Last Monday morning, the 14th instant, a
party of about 70 Lovai Refugees, (who had
evacuated the post at Bergen-Point) under the
command of Captain Ward, being joined by
an equal number from this place, under the
command of Captain George Harden, landed
at Bull's Ferry, on the Jersey ffiore, from
whence they proceeded by the way of Fort
Lee to the English Neighbourhood,from which
place they returned to Fort Lee at evening of
the fame day; soon after which a party of
about sod rebels made their appearance and
took pbffeffion of a ftohe house at the distance
of about an hundred yards from Fort Lee,
from whence they kept up a conflict fire for
near an hour, when it was determined to dis
possess them by forming the house, which they
perceiving, very prudently took to their heels,
leaving one man killed, and the Refugees
made two more prisoners. But they having
received a reinforcement of 300 militia, and
one years men, made their appearance again,
the next morning, in three divisions,'meditat
ing an attack, which those brave Loyalists be
ing apprized of, immediately marched out,
and commenced the attack, the enemy at the
fame time faced to the right about, and fled in
great confufion, (many of them throwing
away their arms) leaving on the field wounded
their Colonel Cooper, who is also a Judge and
Commissioner for felling the estates of the
Loyalists, a'fo two men killed.
May 16th and 17th they were busily em
ployed in ereding works for the cftablifhment^
of a poll on the ground where Fort Lee stood.
May 18th, This morning, just after fun-rife,
as they were proceeding in order to continue
the works they had begun to ereft, the advan
ced party, confiding ®f about ten men, had
nearly got within the works, when they per
ceived them to be in the possession of the ene
my, who made two of the party prisoners ;
the rest gave their fire, and ran off down the
hill; the rebels pursuing, Captain Harden
ordered a field piece to be placed in such a po
rtion which, with the fire from a gun boat, and
the mufquetry, obliged them to return up the
hill. Captain Harden advanced thro' a valley
that led up the hill, and gained the right flank
of the enemy, whom he instantly charged, and
obliged to quit the works they were in posses
sion of, retreating in great confufion, and leav
ing behind them 1 man killed and 1 wounded ;
they also took off with them federal who were;
badly wounded; Caotain Harden pursued thq
enemy to the heights of the English Neigh
bourhood, but was not able to come up with
them; the Refugees have only had one man
Rightly wounded, and two captured. The re
bel party confided of militia and one years
men, and amounted to upwards of four hun
dred men.
