^ rad of a letter from a gentleman in London to
an American here, dated Dec. 17, 1778.
" We have no accounts from New York, later
than the 4th ult. at which time; cf course, they were
unacquainted with D'E^aing's departure.-- Byron
left New-York the 19th of October, to block up the
Count; bcirit no# seems he has eluded the vigilance
of the Enghfh Admiral. Report fays, that they fell
in with eacl other, engaged and the Ranch obliged
to return to Boflon with the !ofs cf two 64 gun ships,
This account 1 can, however confidently asserted,
venture to pronounce premature. - Five thousand
troops had embarked and failed for the Weft Indies ;
4.000 mere were to embark and fail, the 14 hos No
vember, for tie fouthwatd, fuppefed against Georgia;
2000 had filled for Halifax; to 000, Including the
American corps, were to remain at New York, to be
reinforced from this country In the spring what
numbers are to be sent out is uncertain ; 16,000 is
the number voted for 1779 - but these are net yet
raised and when effected, are to fill up the defici
encies in the old regiments - of course feme cf them
will remain at home. In short, the next campaign is
to decide the fa # e of the .wo countries-- A vindictive
Spirit of revenge brea'hes through every department
of Administration- The most vigorous exertions are
to be made. a:d fire and fwofd carried through every
part of the Continent --The court martial to held on
Admiral Keppel is fixed to the 7th of January ; it is
generally beloved he will be honorably acquitted---
Since writing the above, I am informed of the arri
val cf an exprefe from New York, of the 19th of
November, but rot a syllable has tranfpfred that may
be depended on -A conjecture is fiercely hazarded,
be: every thing expeded from the silence of Admi
nhhation Many perfuns flatter themselves with the
revolt of the Southern provinces ; as you have late
arrivals you can easily convince yourfelf of that
fuppoted fa&."
