HARTFORD, November 2.
Extrafl of a letter from the Hon. Maj. Gen.
Gates to bis Excellency Governor Trumbull,
dated Providence, O^ober 30, 1779.
" I ihould have informed your Excel
lency before this time, of the extraordina
ry and precipitate evacuation of Newport,
by the British troops ; but the necessity
of providing for the fafety of our army,
by erecting some of the works the enemy
destroyed, to prevent our annoying them,
in case they ihould return-- the pulling
down others which they left standing, and
the disappointing Monopolizers, and se
curing us against the machinations of the
tories left behind ; in these avocations my
attention has been wholly engaged.
“ The enemy Est ifo o cons of good
hay in one parcel and about 400 belong
ing to the flock of the artillery, a large
quantity of Pitt and Sea Coal ; but the,
carried away the Records.
" I arrived here yesterday evening, and
flhall return to irfortow to Newport, where
Head Quarters are fixed." ,
By a letter from Fish Kill, dated O&o^
ber 30, we have the following intelligence
from the Southward: " That Col. Mait
land, leaving, hfs floret artillery, &c. at
Beaufort, had joined Gen. Prevoft at Sa
vannah: That Count D'Eftaing was in
the front of the enemy at Savannah with
5000 troops, and General Lincoln in their
rear with 4:000, daily expecting General
Mclntofh with a large reinforcement :
That they had begun their approaches,
and on the 2d instant were to open their
works against Savannah, with 38 pieces
of cannon and 8 mortars; our troops in
high spirits and in good health, [hat the
Count had taken the Experiment, having
on board Gen. Vaughn, 20 other officers,
with the, military chest; the Fowey, the
Ariel a sloop of 18 guns, wi r h all the ene
my's shipping, having 4600 suits of cloath-,
ing, and a large quantity of provisions:
That Gen. Prevoft had made three forties,'
in all which he was repulfd with loss.
Gen. Prevoft had requeued a passport for
his lady and plate to New-York --Tie
Count's answer was, that his politenefl to
Mrs. Prevoft was undoubted, but that he
had understood the plate had fen acquir
ed from the allies of his master in such a
manner, that Gen. Prevoft could not.
either in honor or honesty wish to enjoy it."
We hear from Woodftock' , in Wind
ham county, that Mrs. Dorcas Sanger,"
about 84 years of age, lately walked about
two miles, hand in hand with her daugh
ter, grand daughter, great grand daugh
ter, and great great grand daughter, five
generations ; the said daughter was the
mother of 19 children before (he fee forty
years.
