NEW-YORK, March 27.
On Thursday the Coinmiffion of General
ROBERTSON was opened in the Presence of
General Tryon, and the Gentlemen of his Ma
jesty's Council, when his Excellency took the
Oaths of Qualification, and was inducted into
the Office of Governor of the Province of New-
York; the General's Commission was after
wards read at the City-Hall, and his Excellency
there publicly proclaimed our Governor.
" From our Arrival till the 9th, the Gene
ral and many of the principal Officers were at
Savannah, when they returned and failed,
leaving one Battalion of the 71st, many Horses,
Engineer-Stores, embarked to follow. Gen.
Pattifon, with one Battalion of the 71st, a Hes
sian Regiment, and the Provincials, with Ma
jor Ferguson's Corps, are dill at Savannah.
The Province of Georgia is in a State of per
fed Security and Peace, and it is very probable
the greatest Part of their Troops, after visiting
their Friends on the Western Frontiers, may
join the Army, not far from Charleftown.
The Fleet arrived the nth in North-Edifto,
the fame Day the General, with the Grena
diers and Light-Infantry, landed, and the
whole Army, the Day following, on John's
Bland. ° '
'' The important Post of Stono-Ferry was
occupied the 14th by the Bobs, the Fbzileeh,
^3d, and 33d Regiments, with the Yagers.
The Grenadiers moved to Gibbs's (Lord Corn
wallis's Quarters) on John's Hland—the Head
Quarters at the House of Mr. Fenwick, a very
good and much injured Subject. Major Hay
and Captain Moncrieff are appointed Com
missaries of all captured Goods, and the
Troops are amply supplied with fre(h Provi
sions and Rice by them.
" The Army crossed over to James's Island
the 24th, 25th, and 26th, except a Party left
at Stono, and the 33d, and a Battalion of the
71st, who are on John's Island dill.
" March the 6th, the Post of Fort Johnston
is occupied, a Bridge is laid over Wapoo-Cut,
near which, at the House of a Mr. Hudson, is
Head Quarters, where,Provifions and military
Stores are landed, and Works erected to cover
them ; and near this the Transports are to lie
some Time in Stono-River.
Extrafl of a Letter from a Gentleman in South-
Carolina, dated at a Rebel Houje, 6 Miles from
Cbarlejiown, March 6, 1780.
" Our Passage, with very few Exceptions,
was a long Trad of blustering, disagreeable
Weather, from the 26th of December, when
we failed from Sandy-Hook, till the firft of
February, when the Fleet arrived at Tybee-
Island.
'' The Rebel Force in Charleftown, in
cluding Lincoln's Array, are numbered by
Deserters from thence, from three to four
Thousand bearing Arms. The Country
round are called in to defend the City, but
they have excused themselves on Account of
the Small-Pox raging now there.
" There are about 12 Ships in Rebellion
Road, about the Town, and in Ashley River,
and several small Vessels.
" Such is the State of Affairs here, and it
is probable, the Ar^y now quite refreshed,
will soon proceed to take a nearer View of the
Enemy, as it is likely the Ships of War will
he in soon to co-operated
