[ Vol. XXIV. ]
MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1781.
[ No. 1263 ]
From the LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
WHITEHALL, Octob. 9, 1781.
This morning Capt. Ross, Aide de Camp to Lieutenant General Cornwallis, arrived in town from South Carolina, with a letter from his Lordship to Lord George Germain, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, of which the following is a copy :
Camden, August 21, 1780.
MY LORD,
It is with great pleasure that I communicate to your Lordship an account of a complete victory obtained on the 16th instant, by his Majesty's troops under my command, over the rebel American army under General Gates.
In my dispatch, No. 1, I had the honor to inform your Lordship, that while at Charlestown, I was regularly acquainted by Lord Rawdon with every material incident or movement made by the enemy, or by the troops under his Lordship's command. On the 9th instant two expresses arrived, with an account that General Gates was advanced towards Lynch's Creek with his whole army, supposed to amount to 6000 men, exclusive of a detachment of 1000 men under Gen. Sumpter, who, after having in vain attempted to force the posts at Rocky Mount and Hanging Rock, was believed to be at that time trying to get round the left of our position, to cut off our communication with the Congarees and Charlestown; that the disaffected country between Peace and Black-River, had actually revolted; and that Lord Rawdon was collecting his posts, and preparing to assemble his force at Camden.
In consequence of this information, after finishing some important points of business at Charlestown, I set out on the 10th and arrived at Camden on the night between the 13th and 14th, and there found Lord Rawdon with his whole force, except Lt. Col. Turnbull's small detachment, which fell back from Rocky Mount to Major Ferguson's part of the militia of Ninety-Six on Little River.
I had now my opinion to make, either to retire or attempt the enemy; for the position at Camden was a bad one to be attacked in, and by General Sumpter's advancing down the Wateree, my supplies must have failed me in a few days.
I saw no difficulty of making good my retreat to Charlestown, with the troops that were able to march; but in taking that resolution, I must not only have left 800 sick, and a great quantity of stores at this place, but I clearly saw the loss of the whole province, except Charlestown, and of all Georgia, except Savannah, as immediate consequences, besides forfeiting all pretensions to future confidence from our friends in this part of America.
On the other hand, there was no doubt of the rebel army being well appointed, and of its number being upwards of 5000 men, exclusive of Gen. Sumpter's detachment, and of a corps of Virginia militia, of 12 or 1500 men, either actually joined, or expected to join the main body every hour; and my corps, which never was numerous, was now reduced by sickness and other casualties, to about 1400, fighting men of regulars and provincials, with 4 or 500 militia and North-Carolina refugees.
However, the greatest part of the troops that I had, being perfectly good, and having left Charlestown sufficiently garrisoned and provided for a siege, and getting little or no loss by a defeat, and much to gain by a victory, I resolved to take the first good opportunity to attack the rebel army.
Accordingly, I took great pains to procure good information of their movements and position; and I learned that they had encamped, after marching from Hanging-Rock, at Col. Rugley's, about 12 miles from hence, on the afternoon of the 14th.
After consulting some intelligent people well acquainted with the ground, I determined to march at ten o'clock on the night of the 15th, and attack at day-break, pointing my principal force against their continental, who from good intelligence I knew to be badly posted close to Col. Rugley's house. Late in the evening I received information that the Virginians had joined that day: However, that having been expected I did not alter my plan, but marched at the hour appointed, leaving the defence of Camden to some provincials, militia and convalescents, and a detachment of the 63d regiment, which, by being mounted on horses which they had pressed on the road, it was hoped would arrive in the course of the night.
I had proceeded 9 miles, when about half an hour past two in the morning, my advanced guard fell in with the enemy. By the weight of the fire I was convinced they were in considerable force, and was soon assured by some deserters and prisoners, that it was the whole rebel army on its march to attack us at Camden. I immediately halted and formed, and the enemy doing the same, the fire soon ceased. Confiding in the disciplined courage of his Majesty's troops, and well apprized by several intelligent inhabitants, that the ground on which both armies stood being narrowed by swamps on the right and left was extremely favorable for my numbers, I did not chuse to hazard the great state for which I was going to fight, to the uncertainty and confusion to which an action in the dark is so particularly liable. But having taken measures that the enemy should not have it in their power to avoid an engagement on that ground I resolved to defer the attack till day. At the dawn I made my disposition, and formed the troops in the following order: The division of the right consisting of a small corps of light-infantry, the 25th and 33d regiments, under the command of Lt. Col. Webster; the division of the left, consisting of the volunteers of Ireland, infantry of the legion, and part of Lt. Col. Hamilton's North-Carolina regiment, under the command of Lord Rawdon, with two six and two three pounders, which were commanded by Lieut. M'Leod. The 71st regiment, with two six pounders, was formed as a reserve, one battalion in the rear of the division on the right, the other of that of the left, and the cavalry of the legion in the rear, and the country being woody, close to the 71st regiment, with orders to seize any opportunity that might offer to break the enemy's line, and to be ready to protect our own in case any corps should meet with a check.
This disposition was just made when I perceived that the enemy, having likewise persisted in their resolution to fight, were formed in two lines opposite and near to
us; and observing a movement on their left, which I supposed to be with an intention to make some alteration in their order. I directed Lt. Col. Webster to begin the attack which was done with great vigor, and in a few minutes the action was generally along the whole front. It was at this time a dead calm, with a little haziness in the air, which preventing the smoke from rising, occasioned so thick a darkness, that it was difficult to see the effect of a very heavy and well supported fire on both sides.
Our lines continued to advance in good order, and with the cool intrepidity of experienced British soldiers, keeping up a constant fire, or making use of bayonets, as opportunities offered; and after an obstinate resistance during three quarters of an hour, threw the enemy into total confusion, and forced them to give way in all quarters; At this instant I ordered the cavalry to complete the route, which was performed with their usual promptitude and gallantry; and after doing great execution on the field of battle, they continued the pursuit to Hanging Rock, 22 miles from the place where the action happened, during which many of the enemy were slain, a number of prisoners, near 150 waggons (in one of which was a brass cannon, the carriage of which had been damaged in the action of the night) a considerable quantity of military stores, and all the baggage and camp equipage of the rebel army fell into our hands.
The loss of the enemy was very considerable: a number of colours, and 7 pieces of brass cannon (being all their artillery that were in the action) with all their ammunition waggons, were taken; between 8 and 900 were killed, among that number Brigadier-General Gregory, and about 1000 prisoners, many of whom wounded; of which number were Major-General Baron de Kalb, since dead, and Brigadier-General Rutherford.
I have the honour to inclose a return of the killed and wounded on our side. The loss of so many brave men is much to be lamented; but the number is moderate in proportion to so great an advantage.
The behaviour of his Majesty's troops in general was beyond all praise; it did honour to themselves and their country. I was particularly indebted to Col. Lord Rawdon and Lt. Col. Webster, for their distinguished courage and abilities with which they conducted their respective divisions, and the capacity and vigour of Lt. Col. Tarleton at the head of the cavalry deserves my highest commendations; Lt. M'Leod exerted himself greatly in the conduct of our artillery. My Aide de Camp Capt. Ross, and Lt. Haldann, of the Engineers, who acted in that capacity, rendered me most essential service; and the public officers, Major of Brigade England, who acted as Adjutant-General, and of the Majors of Brigade Manly and Dole, shewed the most active and zealous attention to their duty; Governor Martin became a military man, and behaved with the spirit of a young volunteer.
The fatigue of the troops rendered them incapable of further exertion on the day of the action; but as I saw the importance of destroying or dispersing, if possible, the corps under General Sumpter, as it might prove a foundation for assembling the routed army; on the morning of the 7th I detached Lt. Col. Tarleton, with the legion and

valry and infantry making in all about 350 men, with orders to attack him wherever he could find him: And at the same time I sent orders to Lt. Col. Turnbull, and Major Ferguson, at that time on Little River, to put their corps in motion immediately, and on their side to parry and endeavour to attack Gen. Sumpter. Lt. Col. Tarleton executed this service with his usual activity and military address. He procured good information of Sumpter's movement, and by forced and concealed marches, came up with and surprised him in the middle of the day on the 18th, near Catabaw Fords; he totally destroyed or dispersed his detachment consisting then of 700 men, killing 150 on the spot, and taking two pieces of brass cannon, and 300 prisoners, and 44 waggons. He likewise retook 100 of our men, who had fallen into their hands, at the Action at Hanging Rock, and partly escorting some waggons from Congarees to Camden; and he released 150 of our militia men, or friendly country people, who had been seized by the rebels. Capt. Campbell, who commanded the light infantry, a promising officer, was unfortunately killed in the affair. Our loss otherwise was trifling. This action was two brilliant to need any comment of mine, and will, I have no doubt, highly recommend Lt. Col. Tarleton to his Majesty's favour.—The rebel forces being at present dispersed, the internal commotions and insurrections in the province will now subside. But I shall give direction to inflict exemplary punishment on some of the most guilty, in hopes to deter others, in future, from sporting with allegiance and oaths, and with the lenity and generosity of the British government.
On the morning of the 17th I dispatched proper people to North-Carolina, with directions to our friends there, to take arms and assemble immediately, and to seize the most violent people, and all military stores and magazines belonging to the rebels, and to intercept all stragglers from the routed army; and I have promised to march without loss of time to their support: Some necessary supplies for the army are now on their way from Charlestown, and I hope that their arrival will enable me to move in a few days.
My Aid-de-Camp, Capt. Rofs, will have the honour of delivering this dispatch to your Lordship, and will be able to give you the fullest account of the state of the army and the country. He is a very deserving officer, and I take the liberty of recommending him to your Lordship's favor and patronage. I have the honor to be, &c. CORNWALLIS.
R I C H M O N D, Dec. 2.
By a letter from a gentleman in Mecklenburgh, we are informed, a man who moved from that country to the state of Georgia a few years ago, was just returned; he says the Tories began to repent of the part they have taken, & complain loudly of their task masters: The British have declared that all the lands are forfeited, and that no man must have a freehold, but a lease; for which he is to pay for every acre that he works, four shillings sterling for every five place, twenty shillings; for a cotton wheel, twenty shillings; for a flax wheel, thirty shillings; for a loom, five pounds; and are also obliged to give the fourth bushel of all the grain that is raised, towards supporting the king's troops: And he further says, that 600 men left that State when he did.
B A L T I M O R E, Dec. 3.
The Jamaica Gazette, of the 14th October, mentions, that the British troops at St. Juan, on the Spanish Main, were, by the latest accounts, in a very sickly state, daily dropping off in considerable numbers.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, Dec. 20.
We are sorry to inform the public, that a paragraph which appeared in a New York paper a few days ago, mentioning the death of the brave Gen. Woodford, turns out to be too true. He departed from this city in Jan. last, at the head of a number of Virginia troops, and by persevering & rapid marches in that cold and inclement season, so far accomplished his design, as to get into Charle-
town with the detachment under his command, a few days before the place was invested. The fatigues of the siege, in which he bore a very active part, together with the mortification of becoming a prisoner, and the rigorous confinement he suffered, proved too much for his delicate constitution. In the last decline of his health, he was removed from Charlestown to New York, where he in a short time paid the debt of nature, and fell a cheerful sacrifice to his country's glorious cause.
T R E N T O N, Dec. 20.
About a fortnight since the grand American army went into winter quarters on the North-River, and in the Eastern parts of this State. Head Quarters is established at New-Windsor.
A New-York paper of the 8th instant, announces the death of Lord Drummond, at Lisbon, a person notoriously known to the citizens of the United States.
A correspondent assures us it may now be affirmed with certainty, "that the Dutch, and also the Portuguese have joined the northern powers in the armed neutrality; the former with good will and from the heart, the motives of the latter are not yet so well ascertained."
It is far from being probable that the negotiations for a general pacification will take their rise from the politics of this neutrality. If Great Britain chuses to persist it will be like the rest of her blind and deluded conduct.
Mr. Laurens has arrived in London, and it seems is confined in the Tower. It is added, Lord North told him he would be obliged to him if he would answer a few questions; to which Mr. Laurens replied, that he considered himself the confidential servant of the United States, and should give him no information.
C H A T H A M, December 20.
Last Tuesday night a Corporal's guard at Halstead's-Point, was surprised by the enemy. They bayoneted one man, carried off four, and one made his escape.
B O S T O N, January 4.
Among the remarkable pieces exhibited in the London Gazette, none more deserves the serious notice of the friends to America, than the plausible offers made by Great-Britain to the State of Georgia, through the channel of Sir James Wright's speech, at the first meeting of the Assembly, on the 9th of May ult. wherein he presents a sketch of concessions which Great-Britain, after a five year's war, is ready to make to America, of those very pretensions for which the war was undertaken.
After congratulating them upon their happy deliverance from the usurpation and tyranny of the promoters of the rebellion, as he is pleased to term it, and enumerating the blessings they will enjoy under the regal government, amongst which he has not omitted mentioning the striking contrast between real money and our fluctuating paper currency, he proceeds to inform them that the King and Parliament have absolutely renounced the right of taxing America, and reserved only the power of laying such imposts as may be necessary for the regulation of trade (a power which the warmest partizans of America never contested with Parliament) and the next proceeds of those imposts are in all cases to be employed for the use of the Province—He continues by informing them, that he is happy in having it in his power to declare, that the King, in order to relieve his faithful subjects in that Province, is graciously pleased to remit all arrears of quitrents, and that he generously purposes to assign all those which may become due in future, for the use of the Province—that the fines and confiscations which may be imposed or adjudged in future to his Majesty, shall be also employed in the same manner.
These are the most striking lines in the concessions exhibited in Sir James Wright's speech; and if we could prevail on the British Lion to suffer his teeth to be drawn, and his nails pared, as the man in the fable requested, when that beast wanted an alliance with his family, such a speech might be littered to with less danger than it can in the present state of that powerful country that styles herself our Mother.
We learn that a packet in 30 days from London, arrived lately in New-York harbour. She was anchored off in the stream, and no person except the Captain was suffered to go on shore, or have any communication with the inhabitants of the city. It is said she brought important dispatches; after the delivery of which, she immediately put to sea.
Last Thursday evening an affray happened at a house on Minor's T. between a number of French and American sailors, in which a young lad belonging to the Alliance frigate was stabbed through the body, of which wound he immediately expired; several others were also wounded.—A Jury of Inquest being summoned to sit on the body of the deceased, bro't in their verdict, "That seven Frenchmen were accessory to the death of the deceased."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman, dated Waxaws, (S. Carolina) Nov. 10.
"It is probable that something serious will be attempted against Cambden, where there are not more than 400 men, commanded by Col. Turnbull, of the New-York volunteers; their works are not formidable. The main body of the enemy are at Winnsbury, 40 miles S. W. of Cambden. Lord Cornwallis is very ill—Col. Marian has routed several parties of Tories on the Santee, and has taken a quantity of rum between Charlestown and Cambden."
