Intelligence from the Southward.
" Sir Henry Clintons Proclamation,
dated Charleftown, June 3, 1780, has ren
dered us affential service, for it obliges
the inhabitants of the interior parts of the
country to take a decisive part, notwith-
Itanding the paroles that many of them
had signed, whilst it enables us to discri
minate between our friends and foes, and
puts arms into the hands of hundreds
who were loft to the common cause. The
storm which has, burst over our heads,
and whieh seemed big with impending
ruin, begins already to give way to fairer
profpeas, and already we are recovering
from the Shock which the loss of Charlef
town gave us. The enemy, who threa
tened nothing less than the conquest and
desolation of North as well as of South-
Carolina, have retreated from Camden,,
and recrossed Santee river, on their return
towards Charleftown; they were no doubt
informed, that Governor Rutledge had
halted at Charlottee, where he was joined
by a refpedable body of militia, and the
State troops from Virgin ; a, that General
Cafwell, with the North Carolina militia,
and the horse under Colonels White,
Walhington and Henry, who were in
part remounted, joined by Colonel Ar
mand's corps, were advancing; that the
firft division of the Maryland and Dela
ware lineswere near Salisbury ; and that
the Baron de Kalb had long left Peterf
burgh with the remainder. Their ac
founts of Tarlton's success, though pub
lished by authority, are yet fhamefully
exaggerated; that Col. Beaufort was de
feated, and that he loft two pieces of can
non, is undoubted; but it is no less so,
that he twice repulsed the enemy's caval
ry ; that his men did not give way till the
cavalry, no longer venturing to attack him
were maneuvering to surround his small
party, whilst a far superior body of infan
try advanced to attack him in front; and
that his whole loss, in killed and wound
ed, did not amount to more than 80."
ners and minors, a large quantity of hea
vyartillery,ammunition, &c. Itisthought
this expedition will fall on Jamaica. I
have this from the Commander of the
Spanish frigate, not by hearsay, therefore
you may depend on it.
" A lugger is also arrived here in 33
days from Cadiz, and informs us, that
Count D'Eftaing who commands the
Combined fleets, being on board the Ter
rible, of iio guns, with fix ships of the
line, going from Toulon to Brest, took the
Cumberland of 74, two 50 gun ships,
and 12 transports, which had lately failed
from Minorca."
Saturday last returned from a cruise, the
brig Fair American, Capt. Decature, and
brought in with her the Ship Eleanora,
Capt. Ponfonby, the brig Three Sifters,
Captain Redfhaw, both from South Ca
rolina, for New-York, and the schooner
Secretary, retaken from the Refugees.
Two vessels retaken from the Picaroons,
who are cruizing in our bay and Chesa
peake, the week past are sent into Egg-
Harbour.
TAKEN up by the fubferibter in Farmington,
on the 29th of June last, a brown HORSE,
about 6 or 7 years old, a small star in hi# forehead,
no brand, about 13 bands high. The owner is de
