Watson marched out with the hope of bringing ‘Get* Greene to aftion ; but that wary ofiker, ren dered (till more so by the event of the 25th of A pril, those to remain in a strong position, behind Sawney Creek, from which no efforts of his Lord (hip cpuld draw him, he rather preferring to fee his enemy manoeuvre in his front, with all rhecon fidence of a viflorious arfny, firm contest a point of which former experience mull have rendered him so very cautious. Lord Rawdon therefore finding it impossible to draw on an a&ion but on terms highly difadvanta geou-, ard by afluling a position which gave the Rebels their only feqjrity, returned to.Camdea, having convinced Gen. Greene how futile were his ideas of blockading that place, when obliged hj/n ----fe;f tQ seek shelter in the recesses of the country, and even there to taunt him with daily dt-fi :nce. Thus finding all in a fair field-were inefFeftual* Lord Rawdon-re moved with the King’s troops, from Cimden, in duced thereto by approaching feiforj, when that part of the country proves molt deftrufHve to the soldiery ; and as it abounds neither in riches or provisions, which are mostly the produce of this fide the Santee, he has only relmquilhed barrenness for fertility, and disease for health, and taken up a position nearly impenetrable to an enemy, perfectly in the power of co-operating with tins garrison, and in which the communications are not weaken ed by their extent. By a veflel which arrived yeftefday In 14 days from St. Christopher we have intelligence of the English-sleet, which failed the beginning of March, being arrived there.

On Sunday last, at Ogechee, in the bloom of life, Miss Maybank. This young lady was returning home in 4pparent health from a friend’s house, where she had been palling a few days, when on the road, scarce two mites from ~ that place, she was taken exceeding ill, and im mediately on being conveyed to a houle then in fight expired. The sudden death of this amiable lady is an alarming occasion for all ages to ferioufiy confider the instability of life, and the neceflity of being constantly prepared to appear before the dread tribunal when thereunto culled. /4der loss is Severely felt by her unprepared dill re fled mother and friends, ‘who were by the suddenness of the .event deprived of the mournful consolation which arises from a belief that all in the power of human Beings to do had been done to save a valuable life, and tp alieviate life Darns of a’fick bed.———ln Savannah, last TuefJay, Mr. Philip Allman house carpenter.
