Yede day arrived the kings ihip Nautilus, from Pe
nobfern, and brought the following account : ,
THE King's fhpi, Reifonable. Blond, Virginia,
Greyhound Camilla and Galatea, under the
Command of Sir George Collier, arrived on the ijch
August, It Penobfeot bay, and next morning the re
bel fleet presented themfelve# to view, they were
drawn up in a orefren; and seemed inclined to dif
bute the parage of the King's fhpr, but their refo
iuton fail n?, they soon betook themselves to flight ;
the Blond, Galatea and Virginia; were at this time
Advanced two or three miles a head, and thus, with
out forming the squadron, signals were made for
battle and a general chafe, on which they followed
with all expedition : Two of the rebel fleet, viz.
Hunter and Defence, attempted the pillage of Long-
Island, but without faccefs, the former run on ihore
with every fail standing, and the latter got into a
(mall inlet, w tere /he lay anchored ; on which Sir
George Collier feat Lieut. Mackay, with 50 men to
board her, this was done without any loss, altho'
many ffi )t were fired from the woods; she mount#
18 gun#, and is supp fed the fwifteft sailor in Ame
rica. Capt. Collern in the Camilla, was then order
ed to proceed in the inlet and takethe Defence, but
this was prevented by her bein< blown up - Ih: was
a fine new brig and mounted 16 fix pounders. The
King's fhps continued the pursuit up Penobfcot ri
ver, which war attended with considerable hazard,
from the extreme narrowness of the river, final# and
the flaming ships on each fide- it was so nrrrow in
feme p'rcf- that the studding fail-yards brushed the
trees. The Hampden of 20 guns, surrendered find
ing herftlf so elofely beset as not to be able to run
aihore-all the rest of the rebel fleet, and 24 tranf
por^s were all taken, blown up and destroyed. The
Nautilus Albany and North, who had been left
with the garrison, soon got themfelvei ready and
joined the chafe. G,n Lovell, who commanded the
lebel a my and Commodore Saltonilall, who com
rnanded the fleet, had fixed on this day to have made
a general aiTaalt on the hppi and garrison -the re
mainder of ther army and sailors are exploring their
way back thro' the woods. Gen. Loveil ascribes the
failure of this undertaking to want cf courage and
discipline in his men --and they undertook this ex
pedition on a belief that they should fid Gen.
McLane with no more than one fortnight! prov fin.
