General Green, on the Morning of

about two Miles from the Britilh Post,
and the New-York Light Infantry

play until he approached the Royal
Army, when the Action soon commen
ced and became general. Col. Stewart
who commanded the Right Wing of
the British, was over-powered, and
taken Prisoner; but Col. Cruger, who
commanded on the Left, having done

the Right, where he re-took Colonel
Stewart, routed General Green, and
put his whole Army to flight.

Yesterday Morning a Cartel arrived
here from the Chefapeak, with some
Gentlemen, that had the Misfor
tune to be taken by the French Fleet
now lying at that Place under the
Command of the Count de Graffe: By
them we learn that on the 24th of last
Mnth, a small Vessel from Charlel
tpwn with Dispatches for Lord Corn
wa/lis, fell into the Hands of the Count
de Graffe, and by Advices from that'
Quarter we have a certain Account,
That between the firft and 10th of
September, a severe action was fought
between the British Army under the
Command of Col. Stewart, confining
of about 2000 Men, and the Rebels
commanded by Gen. Green, amount
ing to 5000, at a Place called Eautaw's
Springs, 60 Miles N. of Charleftown,
in South-Carolina.
LONDON, July 10;
Extract of a Letter from Brest, June 26.
“ This morning the fleet Shifted ground, and
Tailed to the outer road, where they moored in
three diftinft divisions. The Royal Louis
Packet, which arrived yesterday evening, brings
advice, that the Enghffi fleet are about five
leagues to the S. W. of us, distance from ffiore
about seven or eight miles; 18 or 20 fail of the
line, and other mips of war,"
Advice is received from Kinfale, that the
Alexander, Capt. Donaldson, a letter of marque,
is put in there in a Mattered condition, having
had an engagement for one hour with a French
privateer, and must have been taken if a fire
had not broke out in the privateer's powder
room, by which ihe was blown up, and all the
crew periffied.
By a Gentleman just arrived in town from Lisbon, we
learn, that the report which prevailed there refpe&ing
the repulse before Gibraltar, was, that the Spaniards
having resolved upon a general attack upon the place,
both by sea and land at the fame time, a feet of seven
line of battle (hips, five frigates, fix fire fhipty and three
bombs, failed from Cadis. the land forces at the fame
time advancing nearer the garrison, keeping up a con
tinual cannonade, throwing Shells, &c. upon the be
sieged, and erecting new batteries still nearer to our
works, many of which were blown to piecesas soon
as finished ; the Spaniards despairing of being able
to take the place by regular approaches, determined on
the defprrate attempt of making a general assault, of
which Gen. Elliot being apprised, caused two masked
batteries to be erected, arid cannon mounted on them, so
that he might open these batteries, if the enemy did at
tempt to storm the place, and play upon them on their
flanks, which they, not being apprised of, would not be
able to avoid; this succeeded accordingly, he fu ffering the
enemy to advance almost witlung piftoi /hot of the Qisen 8
battery, which was manned by three companies of Britiffi
grenadiers, and two of Hanoverian, who then fired on the
enemy, and the masked batteries at the fame time open
ing on their flanks, put the enemy into the greatest con
fufion. General Elliot, taking the advantage of this,
immediately (allied with four battalions of British, and
three of Hanoverians, and charged the confufed Spaniards
with their bayonets, totally routed them, destroyed all
their new raised works near the place, took several pieces
of cannon and other military (lores, with which they re
tired into Gibraltar. The Spaniard's IoL in this affair,
is supposed to be near five thonfand killed and wounded,
the latter chiefly with the bayonet, and two thousand
prisoners; and to add to their misfortune, a (hot from our
works blew up a magazine of powder, by which federal
of their men were killed and wounded. It is not known
what officers of diftin&ion they loft, but it is thought
many of them fellj among the rest the principal engi
neer of the Spanish army. The loss of the garrison was
very trifling, the Spaniards being in filch confufion, they
could not oppose them.
