100 bags of cotton wool, and redwood, captured
by the General Starks privateer of New-London.
Au^ufl 27. The French ship Theodore, Captain
Bowduin, bound from hence to Virginia, foundered
the Ifh inst. about 70 leagues fiom Cape Cod, when
the hands 23 in number, took to their boats, one of
which with 8 hands on board, his feared is loft, the
others with great difficulty got to Cape Cod the
beginning of last week, and the hands have since
come to town.
Last Saturday afternoon arrived in this port, the
C^far, of 74 guns, commanded by Monsieur ,
one of the fleet under the command of his Excellen
cy Count d'Eftaign, in the service of his Must
Christian Majesty, our faithful ally, who with the
above fleet left Rhode-Ifland about 16 days ago, in
pmfuit of the English tyrant's fleet, commanded by
Lord Howe, which appeared off that place; but in a
severe gale separated fom them. She met with one
of the Brilifh (hips of 64 guns, when a severe en
gagement ensued, in winch the Capt. 101 l his right
arm, a Lieutenant his leg; 13 were killed and 29
wounded. The British ship, 'tis said struck to her,
and would have been brought into port, had not two
more British drips hove in fight, and greatly overhaul

“ Dear General,
“ A retreat to the north end of the island having
been deemed advifeable, (from our great diminution
f numbers) by the determination of a council of war,
Id thezß.h irritant, I last evening gave the neceflary
Urs for, and effected a well-timed and regular re
it, without loting any part of my baggage, stores
eavy ordnance. The enemy was apprized of the
ement some time in the night---they had, I sup
, concluded that I had retreated in confufion and
p ecipitation, and no doubt with an expeaation
y having crossed part of my army, and that the
inder would become an easy .victory. In this
they advanced in two columns, on the east and
oads, and vigorously attacked Colonels Livings
md Laurens, whole corps were disposed between
vo roads in front of the army ; they were warrn
ceived by those two gentlemen, whom I rein,
I occasionally, to prevent the contest's being too
lal, though at the fame time they were directed
eat regularly and at their leisure. They ftri&-
nplied withjhe order, for I scarcely remember
ring of the kind more regular. The enemy were
rally led on to the neighbourhbod---they took
on commanding ground in our front, and imme-
Jy attempted to turn our right Rank. To prevent
I detached considerable bodies of infantry.---
artillery was well fetved, did great execution,
contributed not a little to the honour of the day';
rifhng prevailed during the day, and the success
was determined by a warm action which lasted
ran hour. The enemy were obliged to retire in
.at disorder, leaving us in full possession of the field
a&ion. Our lots in killed and wounded is not
•t afeertained by returns, but is very confiderable--^
rong the latter I have the mortification to find many
luable officers, whose names and rank shall be
anfmitted to your Excellency in my next. The
fs of theen<my must be great. Two of the ene
my's ships endeavoured to enfilade our lines, but did
is no injury. I shall make it my business to inform
your Excellency as son as poffib'e of such corps and
officers who had an opportunity of diftingui(hing
themlelves in the a&ion ; for my whole army only
f emed to want an opportunity of doing, themselves
and country honour. lam sorry I cannot at prefect
be more particular.
I am, dear General,
Your Excellency's mod obedient.
And very humb'e servant,
JOHN SULLIVAN."

Sept. $. Sunday afternoon Major Morris, Aid de
Camp to General Sullivan, arrived in town with the
following letter from the General:
Letter from tbe Honourable Major-General Sullivan
to tbe President of Congress, dated Head Quarters,
Tiverton, August 31, 1778.
" Esteemed Sir,
" Upon the Count D'Eftaing's finding himfelf
under a necessity of going to Bolton to repair the
]ofs he sustained in the late gale of wind, I thought it
bed to carry on my approaches with as much vigour
as possible against Newport, that no time might be
loft in making the attack upon the return of his fleet,
or any part of it to co-operate with us. I had sent
expresses to the Count to hasten his return, which I
had no doubt would at lead bring part of his fleet to
us.in a few days. Our batteries played upon the
enemy's works for several days with apparent good
fixers, as the enemy's fire from the out-works visi
bly grew weaker, and they began to abandon some of
those next us; and on the 27th we found they had
removed their cannon from all the out-works except
one. The town of Newport is defended by two
lines, supported by several redoubts connected with
the lines. The fi ft of these lines extends from a
large pond calltd Eafton Pond, near to Tomminy
Hill, and then turns off to the water, on the North
of Windmill-Hill ; This line was defended by five
redoubts in front. The second line is more than a
quarter of a mile within this, and extends from the
sea to the north file of the island, terminating at the
north battery: On the south, at the entrance by Ea-
Ron's Beach, where this line terminates, is a redoubt
which commands the pass, and has another redoubt
about twenty rods on the north. There are a num
ber of small wo.ks interspersed between the lines,
which render an attack extremely hazardous on the
kind fide, without a naval force to co-operate with it.
I however mould have attempted carrying the works
by storm, as soon as I found they had withdrawn
their cannon from their out-works, had I not found
+c my great furprize that the y&unukify whieh com-
posed great part of my army, had returned, and re
duced my numbers t 6 little more than that cf the
enemy ; between two and three thousand returned in
the course of 24 hour<, and others were (till going
est", upon a fuppefition that nothing could be done
before the return of the fleet. Under these circum
stances, and the apprehension of the arrival of an
Engliflr fleet with a reinforcement to relieve the gar
rison, I sent away all the heavy articles that could be
spared from the army to the main ; also a large party
was detached to get the works in repair on the north
end of the island, to throw up some additional ? ones,
and put in good repair tbe batteries at Tiverton and
Bristol, to fecufe a retreat in case of necessity. On
the 28th a council was called, in which it was una
nimoudy determined to remove to the north end of
the island, fortify our camp, secure our communica
tion with the main, and hold our ground on the island
till we could know whether the French fleet would
soon return to our afliffance. On the evening of the
28th we moved with our stores and baggage, which
had not been previonfly fear forward, and about two
in the morning encamped on Bull's Hill, with our
right extending to the weft road, and left to the east
road ; the flanking and covering parties dill further
towards the water on right and left : One regiment
was potted in a redoubt advanced of the right of the
firft line ; Colonel Henry B. Livingston with a light
corps, confixing cf Col. Jackson's detachment and a
detachment from the army, was Rationed in the east
road : Another light corps under command of Col.
Laurens, Col. Fleury, and Major Talbot, was posted
on the weft road. These corps were posted near three
miles in front; in the rear of those was the picket of
the army, commanded by Col. Wade. The enemy
having received intelligence of cur movement, came
out early in tie morning with nearly their whole
force, in two columns, advanced in the two roads,
and attacked our light corps ; they made a brave re
sistance, and were supported for some time by the
picket. I ordered a regiment to support Col.Living
fton, another to Col. Laurens, and at the fame tiiire
sent them orders to retire to the main army in the
best order they could: They kept up a retreating fire
upon the enemy, and retired in excellent order to the
main army. The enemy advanced on our left very
hear, but were repulsed by General Glover : They
then retired to Quaker Hill. The Heflian column
formed on a chain of hills running northward from
Quaker-Hill. Our army was drawn up, the firft
line in front of the works on Bull's Hill, the second
in the rear of the hill, and the reserve near a creek
and near half a mile in rear of the fiift line. The
distance between those hills is about one mile. The
ground between the hills is meadow land, interspersed
with trees and small copse of wood. The enemy
began a cannonade upon us about nine in the morn
ing, which was returned with double force. Skir
mrihing continued between the advanced parties un
til near ten o'clock, when the enemy's two ships of
war and some small armed vessels having gained our
right flank, and began a fire, the enemy bent their
whole force that way, and endeavoured to turn our
right under cover of the flrips fire, and to take the
advanced redoubt on the right: They were twice
driven back in great confufion ; but a third trial was
made with greater numbers and with more ref>lution,
which, had it not been for the timely aid sent forward
would have succeeded. A (harp confli& of near an
hour ensued, in which the cannon from both armies,
placed on the hills, played briskly in support of their
own party. The enemy were at length routed, and
fled in great confufion to the hill, where they firft
formed, and where they had artillery and some Works
to cover them, leaving their dead and wounded in
considerable numbers behind them. It was impossible
to afeertain the number of the dead on the field, as it
could not be approached by either party without be
ing exposed to the cannon of the other army. Our
party recovered about 20 of their wounded and took
near 60 prisoners, according to the best accounts I
have been able to colle& ; amongst the prisoners is a
Lieuteuant of grenadiers. The number of their
dead I have not been able to afeertain, but know
them to be very considerable. An officer informs
me that in one place he counted sixty of their dead.
Col. Campbell came out the next day to gain per
mission to view the field of action, to fcarch for his
nephew, who was killed by his fide, whose body
he could not get off, as they were elofely pursued.
The firing of artillery continued through the day;
the musketry with intermission fix hours. The heat
of the action continued near an hour, which must
have ended in the ruin of the British army, had not
their redoubts on the hill covered them from further
pursuit. We were about to attack them in their
lines, but the men's having had no rest the night be
fore, and nothing to eat either that night or the day
of the aftibn, and having been in constant a&ion
through most of the day,it was not thought advifeable,
especially as their pofifibn was exceeding strong, and
their numbers fully equal, if not superior, to burs.
Not more than 1500 of our troops have ever been in
action before. I Should, before have taken possession
of the hill they occupied and fortified it, but it is no
defence again^ an enemy coming from the south part
of the island, though exceedingly good against an
enemy advancing from the north end towards the
town, and had been fortified by the enemy for that
purpose.
I have the pleasure to inform Congress, that no
troops could possibly show more spirit than those of
ours which were engaged. Col. Livingston, and all
the officers of the light troops, behaved with remark
able spirit: Colonels Laurens, Fleury, and Major
Talbot, with the officers of that corps, behaved with
great gallantry. The brigades of the firft line, Var
num's, Glover's, Cornell's and Green's behaved
with great firmnefs. Major-General Green, who
commanded in the attack on the right, did himfelf
the highest honour by the judgment and bravery ex
hibited in the a&ion. One brigade only of the se
cond line was brought to a&ion, commarided by
Brigadier-General Lovell; he, and his brigade of
militia, behaved with great resolution. Col. Crane,
and the officers of artillery, deserve the highest praise.
I enclose Congref, a return of the killed, wounded,
and miffing on our fide; and beg leave to assure
them, that from my own observation, the enemy's
loss must be much .greater. Qur army retired to
camp after the a&ioh; the enemy employed them
fdves in fortifying their camp through the night. In
the morning of the 30th I received a letter from his
Excellency General Washington, giving me notice,
that Lord Howe had again failed with the fleet, and
receiving intelligence at the fame time that a fleet was
off Block-Island, and also a letter from Boston, in
forming me that the Count d'Eftaign could not come
round so soon as I expected, a council was called,
and as we could have no profpe& of operating against
Newport with fuccefs,without the assistance of a fleet,
it was unanimously agreed to quit the inland until the
return of the French squadron. To make a retreat
in the face of the enemy, equal, if not superior in
number, and cross a river without loss, I knew was
an arduous talk, and seldom accomplished if attemp
ted, — $ our fcntrtes were within zoo yard, qf each
other, I knew it would requite ihej^muft care and
attention. To cover my design fiom the enemy, I
ordered a rumber of tents to he brought forward^and
pitched in fight of the enemy, and almolt tbe whole
army to employ themselves in fortifying the camp.
The heavy baggage apd stores were falling back and
crewing through the day ; at dark the tents were
struck, the light baggage and troops pafltd down, and
before 12 o'clock the main army had crossed, with
the stores and baggage. The Maiquis de la Fayette
arrived at about 11 in the evening fiom Bofton,where
he had been by request of the general officers, to so
licit the speedy return of the fleet. He was most sen
sibly mortified that he was but of a&ion ; and that he
might not be out of the way in case of a&ion he had
rode from hence to Boston in 7 hours, and returned
in 6 and a half, the distance near 70 miles. He re
turned time enough to bring off the pickets, and
other parties which covered the retreat of the ar
my, which he did in excellent order ; not a man was
left behind, nor the fmallett article loft. I hope my
conduct, through this expedition may merit the ap
probation of Congress. Major Morris, one of my
Aids, will have the honour of delivering this to your
Excellency ; I must beg leave to recommend him to
Congress as an officer who in the last, as well as in
several other actions, has behaved with great spirit
and good conduct, and doubt not Congress will take
such notice of him as his long service and spirited
condu& defe>ves. I have the honour to be, dear Sir,
with must esteem,
Your Excellency's most obedient,
And very humble-servant,
JOHN SULLIVAN.
P. S. The event has proved how timely my re
treat took place, as one hundred fail of the enemy's
ships arrived in the harbour the morning after the te
treat. I should do the highest injustice if I negh &-
ed to mention that Brigadier -General Cornell's in
defatigable industry in preparing for the expedition,
and his good cor;du& through the whole, merits par
ticular notice. Major Talbot, who assisted in pre
paring the boats, afterwards served in Col. Laurens's
corps, deserves great praise.
