ReSLAT G. ♦MBRIBTER TO GOVERNOR. CEMERON.
March 2thb, 1618.
Sslitvrhnee, neat St. Marts rust.

St a—l am requested particularly, by all our Indian
Chiefs, to acquaint your Excellency, that the Americans leave
commenced humiliates with them two years ago, and have
advanced some considerable distance iu this count y, and
are now oi•king daily progress. They say they sent a Masa.-
ber of letters to your Excellency, but base Lever ieceived
one mister, which makes them believe that ►e never deli-
vered them, and will oblige the ita mulch if you will let me
know whether he did or nut. The purport of the let
tees were, beggiog your Excellency to be kind viiria4ll
to send them down some gunpowder, musket balls,
lead, cannon, itc. as they are now compleirly uto of
those articles. The America's. may march iliiiiiigh the
whole territory in a mosith,atid without arms, &e. tin y must
surrender. Hillis Haijo, or FINUCIS, the Indian Chia, the
one that was in England, tells um to let your Excellency
know, that the Prince Itegent told hint that when. yet lie
wanted ammunition, your Excellency would supply hies
with as much as he wanted. They beg me to press ulnas
your Excellency's mint to send the above-mentioned al iu•les
down by the vessel that brings this to you, as she will sail
fur this place immediately; aud let the Priuce Kegeut know
of their situation. Aoy letters that your Excellency may
send down, be gobd enough to direct to me, as they have
great dependence in my writing. Any news that your Ex-
cellency may have respecting them and America, will lie do-
ing a great favour to let sue know, that I may scud umung
them. . .

Three is now a very large burly of Americans and holism,
who I expect will attack us every day, ■ud Iliud only kuuws
how it will be decided ! Bet I soak only soy, this will be doe
last effort with 114. There has been a body uf !whims gone to
meet them, and I have scut another party. I hope your Ex-
cellency will be pleased to grant the favour they request.
have nothing ferlhrr to add, but am, Sir, with due
respect, your obedient humble Servant,
ROBERT C. AMBRISTER.

Woodbine's business ?—I did.

buthirot's store before I arrived you came with them.

being duly sworn, stated, that he never heard the Prisoner
give any orders to Negroes or Indians; that the Prisoner
distributed Arbuthnoes goods, and also paint to the Negroes

Negroes, 24 in nninbir, set out for Sr Marks, for the pur-
pose of taking Arhulbnot's goods at that place, and stated
that he would compel the Commasidaut to deliver them up.
