As to tat fitlflahef of their real friends, If they have net
deeresfed in j:bey have a
nd else ; their late PrefideiH in the T*wir and
their fcerftt* laid open, thd na*hbn knows now what to
ihinkof the Minority and Opposition..; the French and
Dutch koofc* what to think of American valour and pwb
f Hck faith and credit; and all the pqwers of delusion, Hot
even joint endeavours of Opposition and Rebellion, kfcep
up the Prench and Gongrefs cause any longer.
Such I think was the Rate of profit and lofir to Gongrefs
the jft of January l?? 6, and the fame day i?Si.
To their profit may be added, that they since became
poflefiors of Boston by a voluntary unobftrufted evacuati
on, that they have fixed their independency assure as fate,
entered Into an alliance with France, and a treaty with
Amsterdam, and have also fecurcd the neighbourhood of
the French by their being for fome time in pofieflion of
Rhode Island ; all which advantages and profits I leave to
Americans to celebrate and to rm.

GENERAL ORDERS.
Head Quarters, Camden, April 25, 1781.
LORD Rawdon hppes the troops Will be con
vinced that he has the molt livdyjgjife <rfg
their manly and intrepid behaviour in’fhe Weff
fougb'ta£lion of yejterday. •
He feels moft warmly how. much he Is indebted
to the conduft and gallantry of Lieut. Cbi. Camp
bell; Majors Campbell, Frazer, and Coffin ; Capts.
St. Ledger, Kane, and Robertson ; commanding
the corps and detachment-; and Lieut. Laye, ccm
manding the royal artillery. Every other officer
in the field fulfilled the separate duty of his flation
with such zeal and courage that it is impoffibJe to
particularize further, and Lord R.nvdon mast re
quest them to accept his grateful thanks and ad
drefsto the whole. He has however such personal
obligations to Majer of Brigade Doyle, and to
Lieuts. Rankin and Stark, a&ing as Aids de
for the great afliftance they rendered him, that he
mull add this publick testimony of his gratitude and
their merit.
To the honour of the troop?, from the firft ap
pearance of the Rebels before Camden not a man,
either loldier or militia, deserted from us, although
in the course of three days after the engagement
upwards of 70 of the Rebels came in to Lord Raw
don, among!! which were many of Waffiington’s
dragoons, with jbeJ* horses and accoutrements.
M-y 9. On Monday his Majelty’s frigate Or
pheus, Capt. John Colpoys arrived off our bar,
with two prizes, which he lent in here. The prizes
are the schooner Polly and Alice, from Havana for
North Carolina, with sugar, fruit, Sec. and the
brfgantifte Delight, laden with tobaefco, bound
from Ocracoek for Old France.
Accounts are received by the Orpheus, who was
lately in the CheLpeak, that Capt, Bolton, of the
letter of marque Ihip Cochran, who left this port
five weeks ago, bound fbr Virginia, the day
after he failed, fell in with a Rebel privateer of 18
guns, whom, after a smart engagement’ he obliged
to ftieer off; two or three days after he fell in with
- Rebel privateer, a brigantine of 16 guns
and 89 men, whom he engaged, took, and car
ried with him into Virginia. The Cochran mount
ed 18 guns, carronades, and bad about 30 men,
several of whom were wounded in the 12ft
but none of them dangerously.
GARRISON ORDERS, 7 th May . 1781.
The Commandant begs Lieut. Mackay, and
the Officers who, with him, so long maintained
the post at White’s Bluff against a greatly superior
force of the enemy, will accept his Thanks for
their gallant refiftancc ; and though in the end,
from the uncommon difficulties they had to contend
with, the fort was compelled to surrender on hon
ourable terms, he ffiall ever confider their condutt
on the occifioo as an example to all Officers in the
like fituafton.
Order of the Commandant,

May 10. By an Officer lately arrived from
Camden we are favoured with further particulars
of the signal defeat of the Rebel army, commanded
by Gen. Greene, on the 25th ult.
Lord Rawdon having received information, by
adeferter from Greene** camp, early in the morn
ing of chs 25th of last mpnth, that a part of the
Rebel army, with fijftnr‘sihilk**, Had be*n detach

provisions the two preeeeding days. Their party
had returned from Lynch’s Oeek that mornm/
and a number of them were then bufiiy employS

fiderable body had formed when Lord Rawdoa
came up; they gave our troops a very heavy fir*

to rally his dismayed tattered compnnioniK,but the I
keenness of the pursuers rendered them totally i#. I
cffedual. The pursuit ,>yas continued toSandil

having 246 wounded men in their hospitals, whom!
they carried off during the aftion.
Fhe Rebel* finding their cannon in great danger I
of falling into our hand?, as the only cxpedientl
left to save them, took them off she carriages, anil

treat, by which means he fell in with fotue wound-1

time togive them verbal paroles, and then retreated I
with great precipitation, carrying off with him I
