e* t-' *
FOR these few days past, reports have been
various, respecting the landing of the enemy
on the sea-hoard of South-Carolinafrom the
most correct informal ton we cun obtain, it ap
pears, they have made their appearance in
Beaufort Bay; and have succeeded in capturing*
some coasters, trading between Charleston and
Amelia Island; and that they landed on Edisto
Island, where they collected and carried off a
quantity of stock, &c. and retired. The Gov.
ernor of S. Carolina, with an alacrity, which
has uniformly disj|Koiished his conduct, as
chief magistrate state, instantly order
ed out several detachments of militia ; but the
stay of the enemy was so short, that the order
was countermanded before the troops marched
Since the affair at Hansford, when Rabun
was shot by a party of the Creeks in his corn
field, there has been no new outrage committed
in that quarter, and the Ockmulgee militia are
garrisoning the forts along that river.
Although we have not yet received the dc.
tailed report of the Battle of Bridgewater, we
have sufficient testimony to say, that it was se
vere and sanguinary far beyond any former ex
ample in American warfare ; and that no of
ficers ov army ever exhibited mure cool and
heroic valor, than those brave men, who con
tended so gloriously on that ever memorable
occasion.

BY LAST NIGHT’S MAIL.
FROM THE PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRATIC PRESS.
We understand from authority fully entitled
to credit that Admiral Cochrane lias refused
permission to the President of the U. States to
send a flag vessel with dispatches to the Ameri
can Commissioners in Europe. We state the
fact without comment. The conclusion is ine
vitable, and cannot be mistaken.

MORE COASTERS CAPTURED.
The following vessels were captured on the (
11th instant, in Sapelo sound:
Sloop Emily, Smith, from Savannah to Ame
lia with cotton.
Sh oo S.dly Jasper, Dorrel, from Amelia to
Charleston, with a few barrels of coffee.
Schooner Dusty Miller, ——, from Savannah
to Amelia, with cotton and rice.
And on the 13th instant, in St. Catherine’s
sound, Schooner Eliza and Mary, Bythwood,
from St. Mary’sjo Beaufort, no cargo.
Schooner Sally and Polly, Bemiss, from A
mella to Savannah, no cargo.
Sloop Abbey Ann, Dickenson, from Amelia
to Charleston, witli 40 hhds. molasses.
The above vessels were taken possession of
by five barges from the British Frigate Lacede
monian, manned each with 12 men, under the
command of a lieutenant. The schooner Eliza
and Mary and sloops Abbey Ann and Emily
were loaded from on board the frigate with cot
ton, kc. and ordered for Bermuda. The schr.,
Sally and Polly was set fire to and destroyed.
The Dusty Miller's cargo was taken out and
she scuttled. The schooner Sally Jasper was
given up to the prisoners, after taking out her
cargo, they arrived at this place last evening.
Their names follow : Captain Macy of North-
Carolina, Mr. Marshall of Charleston, Capt,
Bythwood and Son of Beaufort, Mr. Myer Ja
cobs ; besides two sick seamen taken by the
Lacedemonian from on bord the schooner James
captain Stow.
We are informed by Mr. Myer Jacobs, that
he understood from the officers of the Lacede
monian, that they expected a reinforcement of
4 or 5 vessels ; that they would remain off this
station for some time ; ant l had orders to cap
ture and destroy every thing they fell in with.
It wa; the opinion of all the officers on board,
that a peace would soon take place between
this country and England; and that Spain would
declare war against the United States, unless
Lousiana was given up, as the sale oi" that
country was considered illegal.
Mr Jacobs further informs, that the morn
ing he left the Lacedemonian, the British brig
D itterell hove in sight.
M f 116 c ? sters ca Ptured, were man
n , °y Macks ; and we are informed that those
who did not make their escape are detained on
board the frigate some of them had entered
the service. It is supposed that thoseluho re
tusrd to enter will be sent to Pi’ovidence.
Many coasters left this port on Sunday last
tor .amelia Island and ,st. Alary’s, but have re*
turned for fear of capture.
Intelligence lias just reached town that three
barges belonging to t h e Lacedemonian, full of
men, were in .Sicidaway Narrows this morning
early. \\ here arc our gun boats?

New Bridge.
THE Proprietors of the Bridge, oppbr
site the city of Augusta, feel great
pleasure in announcing to the public, that
after expending above forty thousand dollars
they have so far campleted their underta
king, as to admit every kind of passage
over it, with great facility and perfect
safety. The Biidge is 6Q feet wide on
the bottom of the river, 30 feet on the
top, and is floored with plank 4 inches
thick. The pileing, sleepers, braces, &x,
are of the best Cypress, and the whole
fabric having so far been completed in a
very substantial manner by Mr. Cooper,
is admitted by experienced Architects, to
be the most excellent piece of work of
its kind ever seen in the Southern. States.
The proprietors are now at much additi
onal expense, making a Now Road, in a
direct line from the Northern end of the
Bridge, through the swamp to Liberty
Hill, which greatly shortens the distance,
and will be raised, so as to prevent the ri
ver, high as ever heretofore known over
flowing it.—The proprietors being deter
mined to use every fair exertion to have
the different Reads leading to the Bridge
kept in the best cider, have petilionedthe
Board of Commissioners for Roads in
Edgefield district, to allow them at their
own expense, to open an Old Road (lately
slopped up by some unknown persons)
which has been in use for upwards of
thirty years, and runs in a direct line from
Liberty Hill, to where the Martintown
Road is crossed by a branch called “ Pret
ty Run.*' which petition they feel the
more confident of having granted, as a
great number of the roost respectable
citizens of Edgefield have signed it, and
the Commissioners themselves, being a
ware of its public utility, will it is hoped,
have an eye only to the general good,
which the proprietors feel a confidence in
saying will thus be promoted ; as by a
survey of the Roads lately made James
Blocker, esq. (Surveyor of Edgefield dis
trict) who lately admeasured them, it is
supposed,that the old road will,when open,
be by far the best and nearest of any lea
ding from the up country to this city.—
The Platt made of the different roads by
Mr. Blocker, is left with Mr, Scurry, at
the Bridge, where it woy be seen on ap
plit ation.
