NEW-YORK, April 9. ,
The Loss of the Rebel Army, in the late
Adion with the Earl Cornwallis, at Guildford
Court-House, in North-Carolina, on the 15th
bf March, is as follows, taken from the Penn
sylvania Packet of the 3d instant, published by
Order of Congress, which may be seen in the
foregoing Page of this Paper:
Continentals, killed,?
wounded and miffing, , 33
Virginia Militia, ditto, - - 4-03
North-Carolina, ditto, - - 574
. to
Total, 1307
Besides there is one entire Regiment of the
North-Cirolina Militia, miffing, and no Ac
count made of the Loss in the Corps of Artil
lery.
Last Thursday a Vessel arrived from Chefa
peak with the agreeable News that General
Philips, with the Army under his Command,
had arrived at Portsmouth, in five Days from
New-York.
A few Nights ago, some Whale Boats from
New Rochelle, came over to Flufliing Bay-
Side, and plundered several Houses, among the
Rest, that of Mr. John Thurman, of this City.
The firfl Rebel Privateer that has appeared
on our Coatt this Spring, was the Schooner
Eagle, Captain Hindman, belonging to the
Province of North-Carolina, but lad from
New-London, of 8 Guns and 20 Men: She
took the Harlequin Pilot Boat lail Thursday,
off Sandy-Hook, and fired into another that
escaped ; but his Majesty's Frigate the Medea
falling in with them next Day, run the Priva
teer and Iver Prize ashore: They were both
Toon got off again ; and the Prisoners brought
to Town lift Friday at Noon. —The Vessels
came up Yesterday,
A Brig from Europe, supposed for this Port
or South Carolina, was'carried into New-Lon
don, the Day before Captain Hindman failed
from thence.
Vice-Admiral Arbuthnot was, with his
Fleet, in the Chefapeak, on the 29th of
March.
Most of the English Merchants found at St.
Ruftatia by Sir George Brydges Rodney when
he took that llland, were taken on board his
Fleet, with all their Papers and Books o's Ac
counts, and their Stores ordered to be locked
mp. Sir George landed 2^06 Men at Starry.
The Vessels found at that Place amounted to
about rBo Sail, Dutch, French and English,
among them a Dutch 32 Gun Frigate, and a
Ship of 24 Guns, belonging to Mr. M'Clana
gan of Philadelphia; that the Dutch Fleet
itaken by Sir George, confided of 25 Sail, all
loaded with Weft-lndia Produce and Tobacco.
By letters from Chufapeak we are informed;
that a detachment of 30 of Colonel Beverfy
Robinson's Loyal American Regiment of Pro
vincials, •under the command of Capt. Kol
lock, appointed by Major General Arnold to
make a defeent on the eaitern Ihore of Mary
land, arriving at Vienna, in Dorfet County
on the north of Nanticoke river, found 200
militia under arms, whom he dispersed, after
firing from his cutters, a lew three pound
foot; an officer was then dispatched to demand
a large supply of provisions, grain, &c.
which after some deliberation, (to prevent
(heir town from being destroyed) was amply
commplied •with.
On Monday last, after a long and painful
lUnefs, died in this city, James Van Cort
landt, Efc[; of Yonkers, in the County of
"Weft Chetler, in the 55th Year of his Age.—
To fay that the Dearth of this worthy Gentle
man is sincerely regretted by all who knew
Bim, is a Tribute justly due to his Merit. His
render and affectionate Temper endeared him
to his Relations, and their Connexions. His
Probity, Candour and Hospitality, made his
Acquaintance to be fought, and his Friend
ship highly valued, by the firft Families and
Characters in the Province; while his Huma
nity, Benevolence and Condefeenfion procured
him the Love and RefpeX of all Ranks of
People.-
