HALIFAX July 6 1779.
Yesterday arrived here from his Majesty's ship Blonde, Andrew Barclay, Esq; Commander, &c. and we are informed, that General M'Lean with the Troops he took from hence the 12th of last Month, had arrived at Penobscot, under convoy of his Majesty's ships Blonde, Nautilus, North, &c. where he had taken a very secure & advantageous post. The Blonde with the armed Schooner Arbuthnot came from thence last Thursday.
On their arrival the following Proclamation was published—
A PROCLAMATION.
By Brigadier General Francis M'Lean, and Andrew Barclay, Esq; Commanding detachments of his Majesty's Land and Naval Forces in the River Penobscot.
WHEREAS it is well known, that we are in the several Colonies in North America, now in a state of Rebellion many persons, who still remain a sense of their duty, and who are only detained from an open profession of it by the fear of becoming objects of the cruel treatment, which they have been exercised on others, by persons who having plunged their Country into the horrors and distresses it now labours under, industriously

reice every opportunity of gratifying their Nations, but that whenever civil Government the inhabitants came on board the B...

Given on Board his Majesty's ship Blond, in Magebeguiduce River 15th June, 1779. FRANCIS M'LEAN, ANDREW BARKLEY,
On which, before the Blonde sailed for this port, 651 Persons came voluntarily and signed and took the following Declaration and Oath: We whose Names are hereunto subscribed, do profess and acknowledge ourselves to be true and faithful subjects to his Majesty King George the Third...
power of giving them of all Lands they may and several officers landed on the neck of the country people returned on board. 13th, the General and Capt. Barkley embarked on board the Nautilus, and up the River Pownal, saw a small creek Land convenient for a Post of about 100 men but not capable of extensive works.
14th Heavy Rains prevented the troops from landing, it was thought proper to draw up a Proclamation to under-serve the people as they had been taught to believe, that British troops burnt, plundered, and destroyed wherever they went.
15th, About 50 men were landed, the Peninsula was reconnoitred, the Camp marked out, and the place pitched on for erecting a Fort. 16th, The Troops were landed and camped, and from thence to the 24th, the time was employed in landing Provisions, &c. which was a most laborious work, there being a steep Hill to roll them up.
N E W - Y O R K. July 21. The following is at present the best account yet obtained of the late operations on Hudson's river: We are informed that a large detachment of the rebel army, commanded by Mr. Wayne, last Friday morning about one o'clock attacked the fort at Stoney Point, on Hudson's River, garrisoned by the seventeenth regiment, two companies of grenadiers of the 71st, one company of Col. Beverley Robinson's regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, of the 17th regiment.
W. Wayne, last Friday morning about one o'clock attacked the fort at Stoney Point, on Hudson's River, garrisoned by the seventeenth regiment, two companies of grenadiers of the 71st, one company of Col. Beverley Robinson's regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, of the 17th regiment. The enemy were repulsed several times, and lost a considerable number killed on the spot; but being supported by Mr. Washington with the main body of the rebel army, the garrison gave way to a vast superiority of number; the loss of the enemy, tho' considerable, is not yet known. Of the British troops thirty were killed, including Capt. Tew of the 17th regiment, 43 wounded, and 206 prisoners. On Sunday some rebel provisions vessels, attempting to pass down the river by Verplank's to Stoney Point, were prevented by a severe cannonade from Lieut. Colonel Webster, who commands at, and has very effectually defended that post, which is now become perfectly secure, as the rebels, staid in their attempts upon Verplank's point, on Monday evacuated Stoney Point, and it was that evening again taken possession of by the British forces. Amongst the enemy's wounded was Mr. Wayne who commanded the attack.
Extrats of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia to his friend in St. Eustatia, dated July 3, 1779, found in a prize taken by the Ganges and Elizabeth privateer. "We are in a strange confused situation here, one power after another rises by virtue of town meetings; which I apprehend will end in a civil commotion. - A Committee of Regulators are above all power, at this time they fix the prices of merchandize, &c. in order, as they imagine, to raise the drooping head of paper currency, which stock of politics, I am apprehensive, will discourage the merchant, though intended to stab the monopolizer. This day they began with our market, lowering the price of butter to 15s. per lb. the consequence of which will be, the country people will not bring any more to market, as they can live independent of us. Our situation then will be deplorable." The following are extracted from the Hartford Paper, dated July 13. "About two o'Clock on the morning of the 5th inst. a fleet consisting of the Canalla and Scorpion men of war, with tenders, rowed galleys, transports, &c. to the number of 48.

commanded by Commodore Sir George Collier, anchored off West Haven. They had a small Squadron under his Command, on board about 3000 land forces, commanded by Gen. Tryon, part of which landed a two others ashore, and burnt them, one called La Valour, of 26 Guns, likewise a Cutter, after which on West Haven point. La Valour, of 26 Guns, likewise a Cutter, the main guns were fired in town, he drums and a 16 Gun Brig; since which Sir James has sailed for Georgia, with a Fleet which has caused confusion and distress of the inhabitants on board 2000 Troops, — Lord Grantham, held permiss, was made for resistance. The has presented to the Court of Madrid a Memorial, demanding in the Name of his Master the King of Great Britain, an immediate and categorical Answer, Whether his Catholic Majesty has any intention to assist his Majesty's rebellious Colonies, or to join with France in opposing Great Britain, assuring his Catholic Majesty, that the Answer must be plain and explicit, as any Reply that is equivocal or evasive will be construed as a Determination to support his Majesty's enemies, and his Majesty will take Measures accordingly.  They advanced directly through West-Haven, crossed the bridge on Derby road, and entered the town between 12 and 1 o'Clock, they were however very much galled and harassed on their way by the brave and daring few who opposed their march, drove their guards, and hung up a them with most pe severing obstinacy.  Immediately upon their possession of the place, they posted the necessary guards. A body of militia sufficient to man the town could not be collected that morning; they were therefore obliged content themselves with giving the enemy every advantage in their power. Early on Tuesday morning they very unexpectedly, and with almost illiness and dispatch called in their guards and retreated to their boats, carrying with them about twenty of the inhabitants captives, and a few who chose to accompany them. Part of them went on board their fleet, and part of them crossed over to New Tryon at East-Haven.
While General Garth with his division were plundering New-Haven, Commodore Tryon brought his fleet into the harbour, and Governor Tryon with the rest of the troops at East Haven, and then began a heavy cannonade on the fort at Black Rock, which being handsomely defended till resistance became vain, was evacuated. On Tuesday evening the militia collected in such numbers, and crowded so close upon Governor Tryon, that he thought it best to go on board his fleet, and set sail to the westward. The number of the enemy is unknown, but for many reasons it is supposed to be considerable, and includes some officers who they very much regret.
Ours is 20 killed and 15 wounded. The number of the killed exceeding that of the enemy is uncommon, and can only be accounted for by supposing that a ter being surrounded they fell into the hands of the enemy, and were then killed.  The fleet left New Haven on Tuesday at 3 o'Clock. On Wednesday the 7th at 3 o'Clock the same party landed at Fairfield, a number of about 200 houses, and a considerable force there collected they entered the town and laid it in ashes, burning the public house, court house, &c. and the village in general, so that in the compass of two miles around, they left but 16 houses, these they had also set fire but it was extinguished.
The British troops after burning the town of Fairfield, embarked on board their ships, and sailed to Long-Island, where they remained till Friday afternoon, when they appeared before Norwalk, and at 5 o'clock they landed a body of their troops, and laid that town in ashes. Norwalk was a very pleasant town, about as large as Fairfield.
NEWPORT, July 29.  Yesterday arrived here his Majesty's Ship the Greyhound, Capt. Dixon, has arrived at New-York from England, which he left the 3d of June, the Fleet under Admiral Bouthet with the Troops destined for New-York, having sailed 10 Days before. — We learn, that Sir James Wallace, with a small Squadron under his Command, has taken a French Frigate near St. Maloes, drove two others ashore, and burnt them, one called La Valour, of 26 Guns, likewise a Cutter, since which Sir James has sailed for Georgia, with a Fleet which has caused confusion and distress of the inhabitants on board 2000 Troops, — Lord Grantham, held permiss, was made for resistance. The has presented to the Court of Madrid a Memorial, demanding in the Name of his Master the King of Great Britain, an immediate and categorical Answer, Whether his Catholic Majesty has any intention to assist his Majesty's rebellious Colonies, or to join with France in opposing Great Britain, assuring his Catholic Majesty, that the Answer must be plain and explicit, as any Reply that is equivocal or evasive will be construed as a Determination to support his Majesty's enemies, and his Majesty will take Measures accordingly.
He further says, that he is ordered to acquaint his Catholic Majesty, that the King has taken into his Service 24 Russian line of Battle Ships, a part of which have already arrived in England, and the Remainder have passed the Baltic; and also that the Garrisons of Gibraltar and Port Mahon, are to be Garrisoned with Russian Troops, and in Case of a Rupture with his Catholic Majesty, the War would be carried on in Concert with the Empress of Russia. — There is a York-Paper in Town, containing those and many other Particulars, which shall be given to the Public, as soon as the Printer can obtain it.  Friday last arrived here the Hope Brig, from New-York, with a Fleet under her Convoy.

BALTIMORE, July 6
On Sunday last Major Rice, Aid de camp to Major General Lincoln, passed through this town, on his way to Philadelphia, from South Carolina, having left Charleston on the 9th ult.—The intelligence brought by this gentleman is, in substance as follows:—That the British forces from Georgia, amounting to about 3500 men, under the command of General Prevost, appeared in the vicinity of Charlestown on the 12th of May, and demanded its immediate surrender, declaring his force to be 7000 strong—the town being well fortified, and the garrison strong, a peremptory summons was given to the garrison, commanding them to surrender, on the condition of being allowed to retire with their arms and baggage to their ships, which the General, finding himself unequal to the task of reducing the garrison of determined freemen, with his feeble ill-appointed army, after remaining two or three days in the neighborhood, without assaulting any of the fortifications, prudently desisted, with his whole force and took possession of John's Island (contiguous to James's Island) near the main, where they were encamped on the 9th ult. in sight of their ships, with which they had an uninterrupted communication—That the camp of the enemy was about 12 miles from Charlestown—That General Lincoln's army, consisting of 3000 men, was advantageously posted on the main, opposite to the enemy, where he was watching their motions; but it was the general opinion in Charlestown that General Prevost, after his late "hairbreadth escape" would not venture on another enterprise against the capital, unless he should be strongly reinforced—That the garrisons of Charlestown and Fort Moultrie were in the highest spirits, and we determined to hold out to the last extremity, should they presume to besiege them.—Major Rice said, that while the enemy were near Charlestown, a detachment of Count Pulaski's Legion charged a superior body of them with gallantry; but, being overpowered by numbers, were forced into the town, with the loss of their Colonel and 50 privates, who were supposed to be killed—And, that on the night of the 11th of May, the British Major Huger, with a small detachment returning from an excursion round the town, was unhappily mistaken for the enemy by our pickets—the first alarm was given—and a tremendous cannonade and discharge of musketry, poor Huger, and 16 officers, and 24 privates who went out with him, were killed on the spot—in one instance which has been reported, a ball wounded the sensibility of their countrymen.
ALL who are desirous to manifest their LOYALTY to His Majesty King GEORGE III. and distinguish themselves in His Service, by taking a Part in the finishing Stroke of this unnatural Rebellion, have now an Opportunity, and are cordially invited to enlist (during the present Rebellion) in the
Loyal New-England Regiment, Commanded by Lieut. Col.
