BO S T O N, August 3.
Thefollowing are extracts of letters from liyor
General Heath, to the Prudent of Ceuta!.
Newport, July 29, 1780.
" This morning 1 was honour'd with
yours of the 27th instant, .endofing copy
of a letter ffoin General Count de Roch
ambeau to the honourable Council, and
rheir order for three more regiments of
militia to march this way. The Count
requests me to teftify to your honourable
Council the gratitude and obligations he
feels for their attention to his tituation,
and the measures they have taken for his
fapporc. Indeed, Sir, the Council of the
Massachusetts does them much honour ;
they are frequently spoken of with ap
plause, w'ich give# me much pleasure.
" I have just received a letter from Go
vernor Trumbull, of the 27th inllant, in
which after mentioning the orders he has
given to the militia, he adds—the follow
ing intelligence I have in a letter from Col.
Vv'dis, dated at Greenwich, the 25th ind.
" The enemy are ail gone, except Delan
ey'^, from East and West-Chester, and a
very great embarkation taking plate; com.
monly belie ved tbey a e going to the East
ward. An officer of my regiment, just ar
rived from below, informs, that the em
barkation is almost universal, from New-
York, Long Island, and Frog's Point :
that General Clinton's baggage is all on
Ihip-bdard. If it was not for the trans
ports which have gon^ through Hell-Gate,
I fhculd think the Weft Indies was there
obj<& ; but time null determine their
movements."
What the real intentions of the energy
are, cannot yet be developed, but a short
time will difeover.,. If they mean to come
here, they will most certainly have a warm
reception. 'The militia are just beginning
to come in. I most ardently wilh the si
tuation cl arrows was such as to allow their
being doped or Lot back immediately .3
but the p/eCnt state of the enemy for
bids it.
I hope that we shall soon change a de
fenfive condition for one offenfive, vigo
rous and effectual."
Newport, July 30, 7780. ,
" By intelligence received this morn
ing, the enemy's transports which were in
the Sound, had failed to the Westward ;
pat of the troops at West-Chester, had
marched for New York Island, and that
Col. Sincoef with about 500 men, had
moved towards the east end of Long IHand,
probably to secure the'ftock. This day
about noon, the fleet that lay at, anchor off
the east end of Block llland, came to fail,
and ftopd out about S. W,---Whether they
are gone to sea, or come to fail only on ac
count of the wind which now blows at east
*nd renders their Ration rather unfafe, is
yet unknown."
Newport, July 31, 1780.
“ In consequence of letters received
this moment from his Excellency General
Washington, Governor Trumbull, &c. an
attack on this post may be momently ex
pfled, as soon as the wind is fair to bring
forward the enemy's (hipping, which were
lafi atHurdington Bay, said to be 150 fail,
with 8000 troops on board.---The militia
are again called in : and I request that
your Commissaries may be again .notified
to fend co provisions without delayer
General Walhington has put ^ ma fr
army under marching orders, to^ as oc?
cation may require."!
