WILLIAMSBURG, June 22.
By express from South Carolina, we learr # that
on the 29th ult. two fh:ps arrived fafe at Chsrleftown
with arms and powder, one having on bohrd 10,000
weight; they bring advicethat the French are making
great preparations for war, and have taken off the
prohibition on the above-mentioned articles. On the
,h instant Cel. Muhlenburg's regiment, with a body
of North Carolina forces, were within two dayk
mar ch of Chat leftown, ten leagues difynt from which
place lav General Clinton with 50 fail of Whipping,
but had not attempted to land any men. A South
Carolina armed vessel, named the Comet, had taken
a Jamaica ship loaded with sugar, &c. which ran
aground before they could make a fafe harbour, and
was burnt by the men of war.
Last Thursday Captain Barron took, and brought
up to Jamestown, a transport ship with 220 Highlan
ders on board, being part of Frazei s battalion,
mostly recruits, and part of the 42d regiment, or
Royal Highland Watch. They werelanded yesterday
morning, and arrived here under a guard the fame
day. The transport had 16 wooden gubs mounted ;
file was made prize some little time before by the
Congress privateer (as wasalfo another tianfport that
was in company with her) who took their officers
from them, their arras and ammunition, and put tori
board ten hands to carry her into port 5 but being
separated from the Congress in a gale °f wind, the
men overpowered those who had charge of thevrilel,
fond were fleering in fearchof Lord Dunmore. Upon
fight of Cabt. Barron's vcffcl they dispatched a boat
to him, with a ferjeant, one private, and one of the
men who were put on board by the Congress, to ma<e
inquiry ; the latter (finding a convenient opportunity)
informed Capt. Barron of their situation ; upon which
he boarded her, and took possession. They haie
been out about 7 weeks from Greenock, and failed in
company with a large fleet. Ihe above men, 11 is

Copy of a Letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell to
General Hocde.
SIR. . . Ecfon, June 19, 1776.
" I am forty to inform you that it has been my
unfortunate lot to have fallen into the hands of the
Americans, in the middle of Burton harbour ; but
when the circumstances which have occasioned this
difafley are understood, I flatter myfelf no reflection
will arise to myfelf or my officers on account of it.
“ On the 16th of June the George and Anna
bella iranfports, with two companies of the 71st re
giment df Highland's, trade the land of Capc-Aum,
aftera paibrge of 7 weeks from Scotland, during the
CGurfe of which % had not an opportunity of (peak-'
ing to a tingle veflel that could give us the IgiahYu
information of the British troops having evacuated
Button. On the 17th at day-light we found ourselves
onpofite to the harbour's mputh of Boston, but Qom
contrary winds it was neceflary to make several tacks
to reach it.---Four schooners, which we tock to be
pilots or armed veffcls in the service of his Majelty
(but which was afterwards found to be four Ameri
can privateers, of eight carriage, guns, twelve fwi
'vels, and 4.0 men each) were bearing down upon us
at four o'clock in the morning ; —at half an hour
thereafter two of them engaged uc, ami about eleven
o'clock the other two were elofe along fide. The
George transport, on board of which Major Men
zies and I, with 108 men of the 2,1 battalion, the
Adjutant, the Quarter-Matter, two Lieutenants and
five volunteers were passengers, had only fix pieces
of cannon to oppose them ; and the Annabella, on
board of which was Capt. M'Kenzie, together with
two subalterns, two volunteers, and 82 private men
of the fiift battalion, had only two swivels for her
defence. Under such circurnftances I thought it ex
pedient for the Annabella to keep ahead of the
George, that eur artillery might be used with more
effea and less obftru&ion. Two of the privateers
having stationed thernfelves upon our lai board quar
ter, and two upon our starboard quarter, a tolerable
cannonade ensued, which, with very few intermissi
ons, laded till fotir o'clock in the evening, when the
enemy bore away and anchored in Plymouth har
bour. Our less upon this occasion was only three
men mortally wounded on hoard the George; one
killed and one man slightly wounded on board the
Annabella.---As my orders were for the port of
Boston, I thought it my duty at that happy crisis tw
puffi forward into the harbour, not doubting I should
receive protection, either from a fort ^r some (hip of
force Rationed there for the security of our fleet.
“ Toward the close of the evening we perceived
the four schooners that were engaged with us in the
morning, joined by the brig Defence, of 16 carriage
guns, 20 fcviveb, and 117 men, and a schooner of 8
carriage guns, iz swivels and 40 men, get under way
and made towards us.—As we flood up for Nan
tafket Road, an American battery opened upon us,
which was the firft serious proof we had that there
could scarcely be many friends of ours at Boston ;
and we were too far embayed to retreat, especially as
the wind had died away, and the tide of flood not
half expended.---After each of the vessels having
twice run a-ground, we anchored at George's .(land,
and prepared for a&ion, but the Annabella, by
some misfortune got a-ground so far a stern of the
George, we could expert but a feeble support from
her musketry. About it o'clock four of the
schooners anchored right upon our bow, and one
right a (fern of us ; the armed brig took her Ration
011 our ftaiboard fide, at the dhhwee of 200 yards,
and hailed to strike the British Flag. Although
the mate of our (hip, and every sailor on board (the
Captain only excepted) refuted positively to fight any
longer, I have the pleasure to infirm you, that theie
was not an officer, non-commissioned officer, or pri
vate man of the 71st, but what flood to then Quar
ters with a ready and chearful obedience.---On our
refufing to strike the British Flag, the gWon was re

NEW-YORK, July 8. '
The Fleet, from Halifax, we informed our ^ .-
ders, in our lart, was arrived at Sandy-Hook, to the
Amount of 113 Sail : 'Tis difficult; from their Si
tuation to afeertain their Number, but we fuppe^e
it does not exceed 130 Sail : Monday it came up into
Yakes's-Bay below the Narrows; Tuesday fcwcml
Ships came too at the Watering-Place ; Wednefcy
more followed ; and by Thursday Noon the whole
Fleet was at Anchor in a Line frofr. Kill Van Kull
to Simonfon's Ferry on the Eart Sue of Sraten-
Island. The Asia brought up the Rear of the Fle.t;
and in the Narrows was fired at from a small Ba^y
on Long-liland, which Complement was retunto
by about 40 Twenty-four Pounders, one of winch
\lodged in the Wall of the Hbufe of Mr. Bennet,
but did no Hurt to the Family ; and three Shot had
near done much Mischief to the House and Family
of Mr. Dennie Dennife, one of them narrowly
miffing the Kitchen, wherein was a Number of the
Family ; a Second (truck the Barn, ard the T) i d
destroyed much of the Fence of the Gamlen oppi fee
the Front Door of the Manficn Home.
Part of the Army is now encamped on Stater-
Island, and we have not the least Reason to doubt,
will endeavour to secure the North Side thereat by
Entrenchments, whilst the Shipping prote&s the ether
Parts of it.
As foen as the Troops landed, they paraded the
North Shore, and on Wednesday M>rning made their
Appearance near Elizabeth-Town Point; hut the
Country being soon alarmed, they retreated, took up
the Floor of the Draw-Bridge in the Salf Meadows,
and immediate!) threw up some Works.
Their near Approach to Elizabeth-Town Point;
greatly alarmed the Inhabitants of Essex Com ty,

Two young Men from Elizabeth-Town crofled
the River in a Canoe last Thursday. and fired upod
the Regulars; but a Number of them rushing cut of
the Words, they were obliged to retreat and crefa die
River again.
and it was our misfortune, after the (harp combat of
an hour and an half, to have expended every (hot
that we had for our artillery.- -Under such circum
stances, hemmed in as we were with 6 privateers, in
the middle of an enemy's harbour, beset with a dead
calm, without the power of escaping, or even the
moll distant hope of relief, I thought it became my
duty not to facrifice the lives of gallant men wanton
ly in the arduous attempt of an evident impossibility ;
in this unfortunate affair Major Menzies and 7 pri
vate soldiers were killed; the quarter-master aad 12
private soldiers wounded.---The Major was buried
with the honours of war at Borton.
