.SAVANNAH, December t.
BxtraSl of a letter from a gentleman at Mobille, dated 08. 1763.
▼ Take this opportunity to acquaint you of my fafe ar
rival at.Penfacola the 4th September, where I found
the Spaniards had all abandoned that place, fome gone to
the Havana, others to La Vera Cruz, and left a moftmifer
able place in possession of Col. Prevoft, with about 300 men;
It has a very good bay for (hips'to ride in, and the whole
dependence is from a Spamlh trade, which may be of great
advantage to this place in time. From Penfacoia I came
here to Mobille with Englilh troops, who took poffefiion of
this place the 20th instant; the situation is well calculated
lor the Indian trade, the town pfeafimtly situated on the
river Mobille, which divides in two brandies, each extend
ing near the middle of the Choftaw and Creek nations, and
I am informed that boats drawing three feet may go all fea
fons of the year; I believe in time we (hall have a very con
siderable trade with the Indians by the change of dvH go
vernment; the inhabitants do nflt fern to like an Englilh
military government. The Wolf King, with about coos
the Creek Indians, are here, and seem very frell pleased
drith the Englilh; upwards of 2000 Cho&aws are to Dehere
in 20 days, to recover their presents from the French Go
vernor, which have been due them Upwards of three years.
The Spaniards had not one plankton at Pen&cola, and the
number of French at this place does not exceed 120 men, and
mod ofthefc very poor, and not above 306 negroes in their
whole settlements; they deal mostly m cattle, corn, Sec.
whieh they ufcd to (end to Pensacola; there is very good
land up this river, but all near the fra a barren (andy beach;
it .is a plentiful country for venison, fifh, fowl, Sec. on
which the inhabitants mostly live.”
By a gentleman from Philadelphia we*are informed, that
the brave Major Rogers, who wa* so serviceable again ft the
French and Indians to the northward in the late war, has
been killed in an engagement with a party of Indians..
