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.. Last week was entered for exportation at the Custom- Boufe, 9 chests, 4 bags, and 1 cafr of raw silk, the produce of this province this year.
