Saturday last arrived the brig Marian, Captain
William Packwood, and brig -—.—, Captain El
dredge, in 18 days from the Havannah. In Lat. 40,
off Sandy Hook, Capt. Packwood fed in with and
retook a large Spaaifh ship, mounting 10 b^afs fix
pounders and 16 men; which (h p had been taken
by two Britith frigates (the Cranna and Queoec) on
her pafl,ge from the Havannah to Po^to Rico, with a
large sum of money and a quantity of b%afs cannon
on board, for the use of the troops and garrison there.

Some time last month, Mr. Jonas Carpenter, of
Afhford killed a remarkable beef cow—though she
had but thirteen pound of rough tallow ; yet her two
kidnies weighed 1331 b. and what is equally strange,
her meat quarters were not only lighter than either of
her kidnies, but was so poor that when he offered a
fide of the beef to one of the receivers, he was very
loath to take it.
PHILADELPHIA, January 30.
General Greene has given new proofs of his mili
tary genius. A Ikilful and hardy manoeuvre which
he recently put in practice, has induced the abandon
merit of all the tfcitUh advanced polls, except that 01
the Quarter- Houle (about five miles from Charles
town,) on Charlellown neck, where the enemy are
diligently employed in entrenching rhemfelves Thev,
till labour under the apprehension of a siege, and ar;
making every preparation in consequence. We are!
cred bly informed, however, that they have just de•
cached 300 men to Sav nnah, which shews that Ge-J
ne a Greene's p.efent portion gives them jealousy ini
mo e points than one.
By letters received yesterday from General Greene'
head-quarters, at the Round O, about 3g miles from!
Charlellown, d -ed 1 3th of December, we learn, that
upon the Genera s moving from Congaree towards
Dorceßer, the enemy evacuated the fame with preci
pitation, after burning and destroying their bores, ex
cept two pieces of iron cannon, which they left be
hind, and retired to the Quarter House, where they
are adding to their works across the neck, from river
to river; they have allo evacuated Beaufort, and the
garrison retired to Charleftown ; the pod at Ebene
zer, in Georgia, was called into Savannah, so that
when tbefc accounts were dated, the British were ir
poffefiion of nothing more than Charledown and Sa
vannah, in the two southern Bates, and a few mile
around them; except a imall post at Stono ferry, un
der cover of some galleys. The reinforcements un
der General Sinclair were met far advanced, and
would join about the firth instant. The army are it
high health,and io a country abounding with provi
sions, and the light troops were so Rationed as to pre
vent the enemy's foraging at any distance from the
lines. Several fkirmilhes had ensued between the ca
valry, but no a&ion of any confequcnce since that a
