AJ OURN AL of the O PERA TI 0N S before
CHARLESTOWN, to the day of its surrender, to
the Eritifh Forces.
UTHEN I wrote on the 6th of March, oct army
were lying at different Nations on James's Xland,
ad the implements of war ( were gradually approaching
the defined field ofettione Tire hrft material event after
that, was on the 20th, when our ihips of war, viz, one
of 50, two 44, three 32, two 28, two 20, one 16 guns,
and two aimed Brigantines, got happily over the Bar,
and anchored in Five Fathom Hole. Two days after
this, the Rebel ffiips anchored off Fort Moultrie, very
politely left their Rations and moved up to the town.
The army proceeded, and were joined about the 2 6th
by Brig. Gen. Patterson, who marched through the
country from Savannah, and brought with him a quan
tity of horses, cattie and negroes ; and on the 30th, our
light troops and Jagers drove the Rebels within their
works, in front of Charlqftown.
The firft of April we broke ground, and the work
went on with very little interruption. On the 17th,
the Rebels got a reinforcement, said to be 700 men from
Washington, who had been fix months on their march :
A feu de joy was fired, arid they rang the bells all
night. It is the general with ,f the army, and I really
believe the General would permit all the Rebels in both
Carolines, to march in unmolested, having no dread of
any thing but their eftapte. Their joy was of very fhorg
duration, for the day following, the Blips puffed the
GREAT FORT Moultrie, and anchored between Fort
Johnson and the Town ; and on the 9th, we were happy
to fee our good old Admiral, firm as a rock, fafe and
found in camp. The whole loft on this occasion was 14
men killed, 15 wounded, and a fore and mizen-top-maft
Ihot away. Deserters fay the Rebels have salt provisions,
plenty of rice, rum and sugar. They are furprizedr we
have neither summoned, spoke, or fired at them.
The Town was summoned the loth, and our batteries
opened the 1 3th day, when the town was fired in several
places, and four Houses were burnt. On the 14th we
received advice, that Col. Tarleton and Col. Ferguson
(they are part of a detachment commanded by Colonel
Webster) did furprize General Huger, at Monk's Corner.
The General escaped; so did Col. Washington. A
French Major who commanded Polafkie's horse, was
killed, with yothers; 70 were taken, zee horse, 80 of
which were dragoons, 35 waggons, and baggage, a num
ber of boats, with rum and stores were destroyed.
The 21st, produced a flag from the rebels, alking
terms; their demands were unreasonable, of course re
jected ; and the firing again commenced about 11 at
night. The day following the reinforcement landed
from New-York, and we arc happy in hearing the de
tachment with Col. Webster, is so well posted on the
Hobcaw file, that the rebels cannot escape.-— Well know
ing there is no created thing can equal Jonathan for a
flipper, trick,---we were afraid his efeape might be ef
fected that way ; especially as there was a great number
of boats in town kept in readiness for that purpose.
You know, my good Sir, a town cannot be properly
defended without a sortie. It is a French word: a
word of the great and good allies. It founds well, and
will help Charles Thomson, and Company wonderfully
in manufacturing, the account of thje bpfinefs; which
must be rendered into French, into Spanish, and, as his
Holiness the Pope is as mech a friend to the civil and
religious liberties of mankind, as the other two, doubt
less he will be favoured with a copy in Italiano. On the
morning of the 24th, as monkies mimick men, we had
a Sortic---fuch a Sortie as the rebels have only fecceeded
by, and such a Sortie as a thief may make his fortune
by, but if he flays to fee, who is there, he is either
killed on the spot, or rewarded with a halter, The num
ber who came out is not known,---they attacked the
workmen, wounded seven men, and took fix prisoners.
The covering part, advanced immediately, when the
rebels ran off, leaving a number of their arms behind
them. So ended the Sortie. No ether attempt was af
terwards made by them, except lying behind their works,
and firing random Ihot. I believe there never was such a
waste of ammunition; I am told a private man of oere
picked up ihot, which at 6d. each, the price given,
amounted to 151.*
Fort Moultrie the great is fallen ! The morning of the
7th of May, the Britilh flag was displayed on its rampart.
It surrendered to a detachment es seamen and marines,
commanded by Captain Hudson, of the Richmond, with
out firing a gun. We had the pleasure of hearing this
day also frem Lord Cornwallis, who commands on the
other fide of Cowper's river.
His Lordship having intelligence that the remains of
all the rebel horse, Polafkie's, Bland's, and Baylor's,
were all colle^ed together, and about crnffing Santee ri
ver, he detached Col. Tarleton with the Legion. The
Colonel came up with them at the river, attacked them
instantly, killed thirty, and tock seventy prisoners, with
one hundred fine horse. Washington, who efca?ed at
Munk's corner, and a Colonel White, leaped into the
river when the charge began. They had sent off a boat
with sixteen privates prisoners, and Lieutenant Aih,
of the 38th, who, in hearing the charge, pitched their
guards into the river, took the boat, came back, and
joined the Legion.
I think Col. Tarleton may be fairly marked down as
the finilher of all Equestrian accounts for the State
of South-Carolina. On the morning of the Bth, the
town was again summoned; this produced a correspon
dence which continued till the slight of the 9th, when
the firing commenced. It does not appear that the Ge
neral intended to destroy the town. Part of their outer
ditch we had drained; we had puffed it, and even broke
ground inside of their abbitis ; they saw their fate ap
proaching, and on the morning of the iith, sent a flag,
which was rejected. At iz they beat the Chamade, and
sent another flag, afleing the terms they had formerly re
je&ed, which were granted.
The LINCOLNADE was aded on the 12th.---Gene
ral Leflic, with the Royal English Fufileers and Hessian
Grenadiers, and some Artillery, took possession of the
town, and planted the Britilh colours by the gate, on
the rampart; and Lincoln limp'd out at the head of the
most ragged rabble 1 ever beheld ; it however pleased me
much better than the Meschianza. They were in
dulged with beating a drum, and to bring out their co
lours cased; they laid down their arms, between their
abbatis, and surrendered prisoners of war. There are
seven Generals here. I am told the whole continentals,in
cluding hospitals, amount to two thousand three hundred.
The militia, poor creatures, could not be prevailed upon
to come out. They began to creep out of their boles
the next day. You will fee by the capitulation they are
allowed to go home and plough the ground,---there only
they can be ufeful.
The Earl of Caithnefs was Shot through the body,
fitting in the fame boat with, and close to the person of
the General, on the goth of March, but his Lerdfhip is
happily recovered. Ido not recoiled we have loft any
officer but two, and 104 men killed and rendered unfit
for service by wounds. The Providence and Button fri
gates are here, with the Ranger, a very fine 18 gun Sloop
of war, also ^ French Ship, with several smaller veffcls.
Their other Ships they funk off the town, to prevent our
mips getting up Cowper. The rebel officers are to go on
parole to HedrcU'a Point,
Our army is entire, and in perfect health, and equal up
an, butine's r cni/rd on thir continent
St. PIERRE. (Martinique,) April 20, 1780.
Last Friday at five in the morning, our fleet,
composed of 22 Ihips of the line, weighed
anchor in the bay of Fort Royal, having in
the bafon the Dauphin Royal of 70 guns under l
repair. The fame diy our frigates arriving
from Guadeloupe, joined the royal fleet, asd
the whole doubled Point Precheur. On Satur
day we discovered some of the Engliffi and
of our own (hips, who had fallen to leeward,
; endeavouring to join their refpedive fleets.
I Oh Sunday morning the whole of Admiral
§ Rodney's fleet, confining of 21 ships of the
line and § frigates, fheued themselves off our
road. They seemed to us to be employed in
observing the motion of our fleet, which ap
peared to the weft of the channel of Domi
nique, ranged in line of battle, and ma
noeuvring to gain the wind. The Engliffi were
becalmed almost the whole day. On Monday
morning we thought we saw from the heights
of Precheur, near the horizon, the two fleets
not far distant from each other; but the air
. becoming foggy, they soon disappeared. At
gin the morning some cannon ihot began to
be heard by intervals. At 11 the cannonade
redoubled. At noon it was at its greatest
heighth, and from that time till 5 in the even
ing, it resembled the effect of thunder grum
bling without intermission. The noise which
reached us at the distance of 9 er 10 leagues,
convinces us that the action was very lively.

Extras of a letter from Shippensburg, in Penu^

“ We had intelligence last night, that the

Philadelphia, May 24.
In CONGRESS, May 22, 1780.
Ordered, That the letter of the 13th of
May, from Gen. Washington, and the letter
of the 16th from the Marquis de la Fayette,
with the resolution passed in consequence
thereof, be published.
Head-Quarters, Wrrfoaun, May 13, 1780.'
THE Marquis de la Fayette will have the
honour to deliver you this.
I am persuaded Congress will participate in
the joy I feel, at the return of a gentleman
who has diftinguilhed himfelf in the service of
his country so signally ; who has given so many
and so decisive proofs of his attachment to its
interests, and who ought to be dear to it by
every motive. The warm friendship I have
for him conspires with considerations of pub
lic utility to afford me a double fatisfa&ion in
his return.
During the time he has been in France, he
has uniformly manifed the fame zeal in our
affairs, which animated his conduct while he
was among us, and has been, upon all occa
sions, an etfential friend to America.
He merits, and I doubt not Congress will
give him, every mark of consideration and
regard in their power.
Ihave the honour to be, with perfect refoe&.
Your Excellency's most obedient
And humble Servant,
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
His Excellency the President of Congress,
SIR, Philadelphia, May 16, 17S0.
AFTER so many favours which on every
occasion, and particularly at the time of my
obtaining a leave of ablence, Congress were
pleased most 'gracioufly to bellow on me, I
dare prefomemyfelf intitled to impart to them
the private feelings which I now so happily
experience.
If an early epoch in our noh^ ^nteft, 1
gloried in the name of an American soldier,
and heartily enjoyed die honour I have of
feving the United States, my fatisfadion is at
this long wished for moment entirely com
plete ; when putting an end to my furlough,
I have been able 4gain to join my colours, un
der which I hope for opportunitiesofindulging
the ardent zeal, the unbounded gratitude, the
warm, and 1 might fay, the patriotic love, by
which I am forever bound to America.
In begging, Sir, you will present Congress
with a new aflurance of my profound refpe&,
and my grateful affeftionate sentiments. I have
the honour to be, with the highest regard,,
Your Excellency's most obedient humble
servant,
La FAYETTE.

Refolded, That Congress consider the return
of the Marquis de la Fayette to America, to
