8 mounted, Cipain C Ilins. from this port for
Tenerife, was attacked by a Br^fh Hoop of war,
of 14@ns and 80 men, who afer running ^ong
fide .shim, and Keeping up the aA.on for four hours
and an half, thought it moit prudent to flieer off -
he attempted at one time to board Captain Collins,
but found him too well prepared with close quarters.
In the a&ion Captain Collins had almost ali his run
ring tigging shot away, one man killed, his third
mate, gunner and several others wounded. He as

" Tle cirpumflance es the B^fh troops landing
in Georgia, and fending 2500 men from this State
to the affiflance of that State and South Carolina, in
duced the dibffffled people in the wefcm parts of
our State to assemble in arms ; their intention was to
join the Britifti troops, and I believe a considerable
number who went off without arms and in a private
manner did actually join them. Others more hardy
collected themftlvas together to the amount cf 790,
in order to march in a body ; they were met with by
about §co Militia bafiily coUeAed, who attacked
them, and it is said killed and took prisoners about
200 and difpe'fed the others.
" The British troops had penetrated up the coun
try as far as Augusta, in Georgia, but not find ng
&>many of their friends to join them as they expell
ed they made a precipitate retreat down to thetown
Of Savannah leaving their friends the tories 9 and
their sick, to fhift for themselves. By the lift ac

We are allured by the people of the town where h^

heufe that he hired at Paxton and that he is firong
ly fufpe&ed to pilfer at every convenient opportf
nity. He has made it his only business for a year
or two pal to go from town to town and from huufe
to house begging grain and forking it to swell it, and
felling the fame. The fcoundtel may be known,
(till he changes his garb) by a foft fniQoth tongqe,
telling over his distress, with a plenty of religion od
ly iptermixt with it, and perhaps a droll parcel of
stories about bear hunting. Said rafeal i, about fix

and mostly wears an old light brown fuitcut and
mean hat, and slovenly dressed every way.
