L O N D O N, March 20. Extract of a letter from Peverham, March 13.
THE Achilles letter of marque, William Yarkins, of Folkestone, in company with the H. G. Orator of marque, Thomas Nassell, of Guernsey, took on the 8th inst. in the Bay of Biscay, a French ship of 300 tons, loaded with salt, bale goods, and other articles, bound from Bourdeaux to Boston, on board of which they put seven men, James Saook, mariner, Peverham, included, five men from the Achilles, and left four Frenchmen on board; but two days after the prize was retaken in sight of the Achilles, by the Inconstant, a French frigate, when the French commander took out all the English seamen on board, except the above James Saook, (who hid himself in the hold) and put three more Frenchmen on board. The French frigate parted from the capture, and the prize-master having found James Saook in the hold, and having left the vessel, ordered him to take the vessel, which he did and brought her safe into Guernsey, making the Frenchmen believe it was Belleisle.
Extract of a letter from Sheerness, March 16. "This morning arrived at the Nore a large French ship, name unknown, said to be a prize to a Dover privateer; also the Phantom privateer, of Dunkirk, of eight guns, 65 men, prize to the King George cutter."
Extract of a letter from Port-Glasgow, dated March 6.
"The Royal George privateer, formerly the Cumberland cutter, belonging to Clyde, Captain Pugh of her four privateers, has taken and carried into Lisbon, an American prize laden with timber."
The St. Philip, a French ship of 1000 tons, from St. Domingo to France, is taken by a privateer belonging to Guernsey and carried into that place.
The Marquis de St. Domingo to France, of 700 tons, is taken by the Alderney privateer, of Alderney, and the Belleisle privateer of Jersey, and carried into Weymouth.
The Grampus privateer, of Sandwich, of six guns, has taken the Belleisle brig, laden with shot and ordnance, from Nantes to Bristol, and sent her into Torbay.
The Chasteté for Nantes, a French ship
of 400 tons, bound from Cape Francois to off thirty-eight, also four horses, and ten of Bordeaux, laden with indigo, cotton and twelve prisoners: Amongst the latter is a coffee, is taken by the St. Prisque privateer, most pestilent rebel priest, and preacher of sedition, who, when taken, was found that there were no fire-arms in his boat; but upon his being cautioned against equivocation, and threatened with the consequences which would result from persisting in it, his timidity produced his discovery, and a cartouch box with eighteen rounds in it. The Refugees proceeded about six miles into the country, collecting cattle, &c. and on their return were attacked by a body of rebels, supposed to consist of about 150 with two field-pieces; but they kept at such a distance that only one Loyalist was wounded by their fire. Before the Refugees embarked, they landed a field-piece, which was of great service, and after engaging the rebels two hours, during which time they expended all their ammunition, they got safe on board and arrived at Oyster Bay about noon with their cattle and prisoners. They were obliged to leave a number of the former on the rebel shore for want of boats to bring them off.
The St. Michael, Rice, from Cape Francois to France, is taken by the Sturdy Beggar privateer, of Liverpool; her prize was left in lat. 53, the back of Ireland; her cargo consists of 325 bds. 14 tierces, and 4 barrels of white sugar, 147 casks, and 201 bags of coffee, and 22 casks of indigo.
A French privateer belonging to Cherbourg, was run on shore on the coast of Sussex, the 14th inst. on being chased by an English privateer, and all the crew except a boy, were drowned; she mounted 10 guns, and had 60 men on board.
Last Saturday fourteen contested causes were determined by the High Court of Admiralty, and all the Dutch appeals withdrawn.
March 25. A detachment of the royal regiment of artillery is now under sailing orders to Gibraltar and Minorca, as a reinforcement to said garrisons.
L'Ile, Chateau, from Port L'Orient, to Toulon, with anchors and cables, is taken by the Mermaid, of Guernsey, and sent in there.
We are assured from very high authority, that the Earl of Sandwich, is soon to be invested with the vacant Blue Riband.
On Tuesday night messengers with fresh instructions were sent off express with despatches to the commanding officers at all the ports in this kingdom.
It is strongly reported that the Shark and Belleisle privateers of Liverpool, have taken the French St. Domingo man, and were spoke with by a Dutchman off Scilly.
Feb. 23. The merchants are in the utmost consternation. The price of insurance is 75 per cent at Nantes, and the news that Admiral Parker is cruising with a man of war and a frigate, and of his having intercepted 60 merchantmen richly laden, has occasioned a general alarm.
N E W Y O R K, June 22.
Last Friday morning, about four o'clock, thirty-two Refugees, commanded by Captain Bonnel and other officers, landed at Greenwich, in Connecticut. A thick fog favoured their entrance and march through the town undiscovered; but the rebel guard being at length alarmed, and imagining the Refugees to be more numerous than in fact they were, fled with precipitation before them; but so close was the pursuit, that some were overtaken and secured. The inhabitants of the town refusing to open their doors to the Refugees, reduced them to the necessity of entering at the windows, notwithstanding which they plundered the houses of nothing but arms and ammunition, their principal object being horned cattle, of which they brought
off thirty-eight, also four horses, and ten of the latter is a most pestilent rebel priest, and preacher of sedition, who, when taken, was found that there were no fire-arms in his boat; but upon his being cautioned against equivocation, and threatened with the consequences which would result from persisting in it, his timidity produced his discovery, and a cartouch box with eighteen rounds in it. The Refugees proceeded about six miles into the country, collecting cattle, &c. and on their return were attacked by a body of rebels, supposed to consist of about 150 with two field-pieces; but they kept at such a distance that only one Loyalist was wounded by their fire. Before the Refugees embarked, they landed a field-piece, which was of great service, and after engaging the rebels two hours, during which time they expended all their ammunition, they got safe on board and arrived at Oyster Bay about noon with their cattle and prisoners. They were obliged to leave a number of the former on the rebel shore for want of boats to bring them off.
On Sunday a vessel, with a flag of truce, arrived here from Virginia; we hear she has brought the lady of Mr. Groditch, jun. and several other persons to be exchanged. From Dunlap's Pennsylvania Packet, M. y S. Pennsylvania, &c.

C H A T H A M, June 15.
 On Sunday morning last, an Express from Congress to his Excellency General Washington, passed through Morris Town, on his way to Head Quarters; by him we have the following glorious and important intelligence, which Congress received by express from General Lincoln, last Friday evening, viz. That the enemy attacked our lines at Charles-Town, in South-Carolina, on the 28th ult. but met with so warm a reception that they thought proper to retire; however, they returned shortly afterwards, in full force, and renewed the attack with great fury, but with as little success as before; for they were opposed with a spirit peculiar to men who fight from principle, and feel the justice and importance of their cause. The contest was exceedingly obstinate, but rather in favour of the American arms, when Gen. Lincoln appeared with the troops under his command, and decided the fate of the day; for falling upon the enemy's rear, he threw them into the utmost confusion, and obliged them to consult their safety by a precipitate and irregular flight, upwards of 1400, whereof many were new levies, were found upon the field killed and wounded, and their baggage, artillery, and ammunition have all fallen into our hands. Our victorious troops pursued the fugitives, and made 500 more of them prisoners; and it is expected, that not a man of them will escape, as sufficient detachments have occupied the several passes through the country, to prevent the stragglers from getting away.—Refugees were continually coming in, when the express left South-Carolina. 
It is said, that when the enemy in Georgia heard of the above defeat, the merchants who had gone with them (and other friends to government) put their property on board the small vessels lying at Savannah, and embarked for New-York and Providence.
No intelligence from New-York, we learn, last week a vessel arrived there from the Captain of which was immediately conducted to Head-Quarters, and after giving an account of the situation of their Southern army, a guard was put on board the vessel, and no person was suffered to come ashore or go on board.
The DEPOSITION of Capt. JAMES M c ALPINE, Commander of the Schooner Polly and Nelly, who arrived here on Wednesday last, from St. John's River, but left from off Tybee in
Subterranean Gorgon, whence he took his departure on the gale of this night.
 On the 21st of May I boarded a boat from Savannah in Georgia, the commander of which informed me, that he left that place only three days before, that General Prevost, with a large body of troops, was gone towards Charleston, in South-Carolina, and at Beaufort, Port Royal, had a skirmish with the rebels, whom they defeated, after having lost about fifty men, he then proceeded, having been joined by great numbers of Carolinians; he likewise informed me that many of the inhabitants on the north side of the Savannah had come in to the out posts and were forming in a body, naming themselves THE CAROLINA VOLUNTEERS; the Troops were uncommonly healthy and provisions in plenty and very cheap; the Rose, and another man of war, with their convoy were arrived, without losing a vessel, at Savannah, from New-York; and seventeen sail of ships had also arrived from Great-Britain and Ireland, at Tybee. 
On the 29th of May I was informed by Mr. Youngs, a Commissioner of Claims, who left Georgia the day before, that General Prevost had taken possession of James Island and Fort Johnston, about three or four miles from Charlestown, to which he had penetrated, with very little opposition by the inland navigation, that the Vigilant man of war, with five sail of other shipping had got into Five Fathom Hole, a short distance from Fort Johnston; the Vigilant had touched in going over the bar.—Preparations were making to attack Sullivan's Island.
That great numbers of Refugees were preparing to return from East-Florida, to Georgia, and South-Carolina, induced thereto by the successes the British troops had met with in those provinces—That in the course of three weeks from the first of May there had been several skirmishes, in which prisoners had been taken, and a Sub-1 General wounded, or killed.—That accounts came every three or four days from Georgia to St. Augustine.
On the 1st of June I sailed from St. John's River, and on the 5th got off Tybee, but hearing that the convoy was not ready to sail, I proceeded to New York; the rebel ships, by report, had left that coast, steering to the southward; it is conjectured they are gone to intercept the June fleet from Jamaica for Landon.
JAMES M. ALPINE.
Sworn this 17 th Day of June, 1779, Before me, D. MATHEWS, Mayor.
BY AUTHORITY.
On Thursday, last arrived here his Ma- jesty's Ship Solebay, Capt. Symonds, in 15 days from Savannah, by whom we have the following important intelligence.
Extract of a letter from Cap: HENRY, senior Officer, of his Majesty's Ships in Georgia, to Sir GEORGE COLLIER, dated Savannah, May 23, 1779.
THE King's troops under Major-General Percy crossed Savannah River on the 29th of April, and marched from Purseborough towards Charlestown, the Rebels abandoning every strong post as our army approached. We are now without loss, in possession of James Island, John's Island, and all the South side of Charlestown harbour, the Rebels having abandoned and burnt Fort Johnson. General Moultrie is in Charlestown with 1000 men, and General Lincoln at Dorchester, afraid to come on Charlestown Neck, lest we should get behind them.
“ His Majesty’s armed ship the Germaine remains at Port Royal for the protection of the inhabitants, who together with all the other islands have sent in their submissions. When the Visitant and armed vessels sailed from hence, they went through Callibogie Sound and Skull Creek into Broad-River ,
and on their approach the Rebels burnt Littleton in Port Royal, and abandoned another Port on St. Helena, leaving it free. We have taken the Guns out of it. Charlestown has offered to capitulate if they might remain neutral during the war, which was refused. Our army is in possession of several V's on Albemarle-River, &c.
Extract of a letter from Savannah, Ga. May 23.
“On the 21st arrived an express from General Prevost, at James Island, (about three miles from Charlestown) with intelligence, that the rebels had burnt their place called Fort Johnston, and that he soon hopes to be in possession of Charles Town ; that they had offered to capitulate on condition of the remaining neuter, till the fate of the other provinces should be known, but the General would grant them no other terms but that of their surrendering prisoners of war.”
Extract of a letter from an Officer of the Royal Navy, dated Savannah, May 23. "I am going round to see ( )
In company with Joe Rose and victualers, hope to give a good account soon of the town and fort—as the enemy has been [?] Johnson, and we are in possession of [?] Pleasant, which commands Fort M c ...
 On Thursday last arrived his Majesty's ship Solebay , Capt. Symonds, from Savannah, in Georgia, which he left the 21 st inst. By whom we are informed, that his Majesty's ships the Arethusa , the Hon. Captain  Phoenix , and the Ariel , Captain McKenzee , were arrived there from St. Lucia, with an account of Mons. D'Estaing having attempted an escape at sea; but Admiral Byron appearing in force to give chase, the French fleet suddenly tacked, in order to fetch into Port Royal Harbour, which was effected, but not perfectly. The Toussaint , 80 guns, commanded by Mons. Bouille , ville , and Le Fanalque , 64, in imminent danger of falling into the possession of the British, were wrecked and destroyed on the rocks of Martinque. It is said the Count had embarked four thousand troops on board his fleet — The Sandwich Packet , which left Falmouth on the 25 th of March, arrived at Savannah on the 18 th of May. By letters received in the mail we are informed, that Sir James Wallace , with his Majesty's ship Experiment , (which has lately been accommodated with a copper coat, and is now in the fleetest trim for pursuit and action) was on the point of departure from thence, to revisit the American coast. 
We have just received Mr. Collins's New Jersey Gazette; this paper also fights the battle before Charlestown, bangs the British Army, slaying 650, and pursuing them 10 miles, but unfortunately for the Republic the action happened on the eleventh of May, 22 days before Captain Symonds, in the Solebay, left Savannah. An account is given in the Philadelphia paper of June 12th, of a battle to be brought by a Mr. White, of a superior action and decisive victory over the Royal Army, at the same place; but alas! this is announced to have happened on the 1st, about a fortnight before the Solebay's departure, when every thing went most prosperously in favour of the Royal Arms.
June 26. On Thursday last arrived here a brig from St. John's River, in 11 Days. The abovenamed brig was taken by Egg Harbor, last Monday, but on Tuesday was retaken by his Majesty's Sloop Harpy and sent in here.
The Commander of this vessel informs that four men of war, with the heavy Artillery sent for to Savannah by Major General Percy, were arrived, the former had joined the Vigilant at Five Fathom Hole, and all the troops were in good health; one detachment was encamped on James and two other detachments but the main body of the army is at Spotsylvania.

The position of General Patullo's army per- fectly secures them from any attempt of the rebel troops.
Another Account confirms the preceding in the following terms.
We have the pleasure of assuring the pub- lic, that the Royal Army is posted by Gene- ral Patullo, in such a situation as to cut off all intercourse between Charles Town and the Ocean, viz. Stono, on George's Island, and James's Island, from which dispositions and circumstances, we are flattered with hopes that Carolina will soon return to the protecti- on of that government which has long nur- tured, and of late years exalted her to the most flourishing and happy state of all her sister Colonies. A fleet of Men of war, with transports are at five Fathom Hole.
Sir James Wright is hourly expected at Savannah, in the experiment, commanded by Sir James Wallace.
Extract of a letter from London, March 29
The fleet destined for New-York, which imagine will sail in the beginning of next month consists of 50 vessels, and will carry out more goods than have been sent to America at any period since I remember. Among the many now loaded and loading, are the following, viz.
   Ships, Captains, Tons, Guns     Chamberwell Orville, 250 20   Maris, Hogan, 220 18   Robert, Seed, 250 12   Commerce, Miller, 350 14   Cornelia, Smith, 180 8   Albion, Fitt, 220   London, Elder, 250 14   Gally, Coupar, 200 8   Edward, Lawrence, 250 14   Diana, Cobb, 200 18   Eliza, Fare,   Unicorn, Mesnard, 160 12   Revenge, Gordon, 110 12   Commerce, Tender, 110 12   Greenwich, Dalkeith, 300 16   May & Charlotte, Fraser, 220 12   Albion, Bonnel, 220 16   Resolution, Weich, 250 12  
All of which, from the amazing spirit of speculation, will, it is said, no doubt, be quite full; besides several others from Liverpool, Glasgow, Bristol, &c.
A list of articles is granted for the exportation of the following articles to New-York, viz. anchors, brass, books, carriage, copper, co- lours, coals, seals, clothes, cotton, British India Calicoes, (printed) dyes, earthen- ware, glass, groceries, gloves, haberdashery ware, iron in bars, disto, wrought linen, British, German, Irish, Russian, and printed wool, medicines, naval stores, oils, powder, provisions of all kinds, saddlery, shipchand- lery, stationery, soap, snuff, sugar, stores for fishing, stuffs, silk, (wrought in India) stock- ings and shoes, tin and turnery, tanks, to- bacco pipes, teas, thread, tapes, upholster- y, patches, and woollens."
Sir Hector Munro, is created a Knight of the most Honorable Order of the Bath.
L O N D O N, March 25.
A letter from Dover, dated the 11th inst. says, "We have hourly coming from Ca- lis to this Port French gentlemen, who de- sire that they can no longer stay in their own country without being made beggars; and that they have sold their effects to raise money to support them here."
The Fanny, a French ship, one of the fleet from Cape Francois, laden with indigo, coffee, cotton, &c. is taken by the Hawke privateer at Dublin, and carried in there; she is valued at 25,000l.
The Port L'Evêque, one of the fleet from Cape Francois to Nantes, laden with coffee, sugar, cotton, &c. is taken by a Jersey pri- vateer, and carried in there. She is 300 tons, and valued at 30,000l.
Extract of a letter from Falmouth, March 8. "Just come to anchor, in this harbour, a Dana, a French ship of 800 tons from S. Domingo, bound to Brest, laden with cotton, tobacco, indigo, &c. the most valuable prize which has been brought to this port during the present war; she was sent in by the Hearse privateer belonging to Plymouth, after an engagement of two hours and a half, in which the Frenchman had 18 killed and 26 wounded."
They write from Gibraltar, that the es- teemed Emperor of Morocco is once more determined to hazard an expedition against the Spaniards. The above Monarch has in- creased his army to 80,000 men, which ob- eys the strictest discipline, in consequence of the regulations introduced among his troops by some French, Spanish, and Irish renegades; some of whom are officers of con- siderable rank in his service.
The St. Philip, a French ship of 260 tons, from St. Domingo to Nantes, is taken by a privateer belonging to Guernsey and carried into that place.
The Magne, from St. Domingo, to France of 700 tons, is taken by the Alderney pri- vateer, of Alderney, and Defence privateer of Jersey, and carried into Weymouth.
The Grampus privateer, of Sandwich, of 6 guns, has taken the Belleisle brig, laden with flax and ordnance, from Nantz to Brest, and sent her into Torbay.
The Chaumont for Marne, a French ship of 400 tons, bound from Cape Francois to Bordeaux, laden with indigo, cotton and coffee, is taken by the Surprise privateer, and carried into Kinsale.
The imports of France in the article of sugar only from her West India Islands are estimated at 7,600,000l. sterling annually, the better part of which commodity has this year been brought into our ports, the French having scarce enough left for their own con- sumption; the natural consequence is, that the Dutch are now pouring into our markets to purchase sugar, and as the exchange is much in favor of London, they are obliged to make their payments in specie, which they lodge in the bank; so that no less a sum than 500,000l. is expected from this single circumstance to be added to the cash in circulation in this kingdom, before the expiration of the present month.
The French territories and trade in the East Indies are, at one gallant manœuvre, to- tally extirpated in that part of the world; and we confidently hope, ere long, they will meet with the same reward in the West In- dies, for their infamy and alliance with America.
Yesterday Captain Hyde Parker, kissed his his Majesty's hand upon his receiving the honour of Knighthood, for his services in America.
Yesterday the Right Hon. Earl Cornwallis and his Aid du Camp, Captain Boddick, with a number of other General Officers, took leave of his Majesty at St. James's previous to their setting off for Portsmouth, to embark for America.
Extract of a letter from Deal, April 21. "This Day arrived here four Russian men of from Petersburg, said to be part of a fleet which is to be sent by the Empress to Great Britain."
It is said that Lieut. Colonel Campbell will re-embark in a very few days for Geo- rgia, with the rank of Colonel.
Yesterday in the afternoon an express ar- rived from Falmouth with advice, that on the 20th inst. the Ramillies and Terrible men of war passed by that port, with upward of 20 sail of French vessels under their convoy. The Terrible is arrived with part of them at Spithead, and the Ramillies with the rest is put into Plymouth.
The Crews of the Ramillies and Terrible men of war, it is thought, will on an average
receive 900l. prize money per man, for the St. Domingo-men they have already taken.
N E W P O R T, July 1.
Tuesday last Capt. Stanton arrived here in 16 Days from New Providence, who in- forms, that a Vessel had arrived there from Charleston, South Carolina, which Place she left the 15th of May, at which Time the most Consternation prevailed among them on Account of the near Approach of the Royal Army.
A few Days before Capt. Stanton sailed, a Turkish arrived, who gave an Account of his being chased among the Florida Keys by an American Privateer, but not being able to come up with him, she sent out two Boats which the Turtler kept off by firing two swivels; on leaving the Keys, he found the Brig afloat, and left by the People. She mounted 16 Guns, and by some Papers found on board was last from the Havannah.
By a Gentleman from the Country who arrived here since our left, we are informed, that Ethan Allen, who is at the Head of the Green-Mountain-Boys, has lately been to Congress, and demanded a Seat as Repre- sentative of the State of Vermont. Congress have refused to acknowledge them to be a State or admit him to a Seat. In conse- quence of which, he has threatened them that he will immediately apply to the Com- mander of the British Troops in Canada for Protection, and that they will detach them- selves from the Interest of the Continent. Congress have declared them Rebels, and are forming a Plan to reduce them.
