WHITEHALL, June 4,17 Si.
THIS morning Capt. Brouc..ick, Aid de Camp to
Lieut. Gen. Earl Cornwallis, arrived from CHirlcf
town, South Carolina, with difparcljer from his Lurdfliiip,
and Lieut. Col. Balfour, to the Rkht Koh. Lprd George
Germaine, one of his Majrity’s principal
htate, or which the following are copies ana cxtiafts :
My Lord) MatJj t", ijSr. .
HAYING occasion to dispatch my AiJ de C.-mp, Capt.
Broderick, with the particulars of the aftipii ufthe 15th,
i-’ compliance with general Jireitions from sir Hei-rv Clin
tar.. I /hall embrace tiss oppurairDty to give your Loidihin
an count of the operations of the troops under my cc -n
----nii.id, previous to that eve-*'t, and of thoie fubfiqaent,
un f ii the deputure of Capt. Br'ierick. •
My plan for the winter’s campaign was to penetrate into
North Carolina, leaving South Carolina in aguind
ant probable attack, in my abfcnee. °
Lord Rawdon, with a conflderable body f troops, had
charge of the defenfivc, an i l proceeded i bout the middle
of J.iouary up®n the oflbnfive operations. I decided td
march by the upper in preference to the lower roads lead
ing into North Carolina, becadfe fords being frequent a
h''f the forks of the rivers, my palTagrilicre could not
caitiy be obiirudded ; and Gen. Greene hiving taken post
oar the -Pcdee, and there- Wing few Tends In .my of thi-great
rivers of this CO on try below their forks, especially in the
winter, I apprehended being much delayed, if not entirely
prevented, from penetrating by the latter route. I was
the more induced to prefer this route, as 1 hoped in my
way to he able tj dedroy or drive out of South Carolina
the corps of the enemy commanded fey Gen. Morgan,
which threatened our valuable didridt of Ninety /fx j and
.1 hkewife hoped, by rapid marches, to be between Gen.
Greene and Virginia, and by chat means force him tafight,
without receiving any reinforcement'from that province j
or filling of that, t > oblige him to quit North Car lina”
with precipitatooftr-and- thereby encourage our friends to
make good their pramriitt of i general riling to ifiift me in
re (‘itabliihing his Majelly's govermnenf.
1 he unfortunate affair of the 17th ot January WaS a very
unexpected and fc\'ere blow} however, peing thoroughly
fenlibla that defenfive measures would be certain ruin to
the affairs of Britain ir} the southern colonies, this event
did not detfa- mc from preiLecaating-tbe-wigbrad-pi-tf*. f
i hat l ien. Gieene.might be uncertain of my intended
route as long as polhble, I had left Gen. Lcllic at Cam
den, until 1 was ready to move from Winnelborough, *nd
he was now within a march of me. 1 employed the iSth
in tormirig a juntlion with him, and in-calleiling the it
mams ot Lieut. Col. Tarlcpou’a corps } a/tcr which great
exertions were made by part of the army .without bi:;gtge
to retake our prilon'ers, and to intercept Gen. Morgan’s
corps on its retreat to the Catawba } but the celerity of
t.eu movements, and the lwelling ot tl!e nuraberi'efs —
necks in our way, rendered all our efforts fruitlefs. 1
tueretorc allembied the army on the 25-h at Ranifourc’s
Mill, on the louch fork of the Catawba } and as the lois
of my light troops could only be remedied by the a&ivity of
I employed a halt of two days in colle&-

to the foldicrs, I muff, in juflice to this trmy, fayy thai
there was the moll: general and cheerful acquiescence.
Inithe mean time the rains had rendered the North Ca
tawba impajfable, and Gen. Morgan’s corps, t&e militia
of the rebellious counties of Rowan and Mecklenburg*,
under Gen. Davidson, dr the gang fcf plundefers usually
under the command of Gen. Sumpter, not then recovered
from his wounds, had occupied all the fords in a space of
more than 40 miles upwards from the fork. L approached
the river, during its height, by short marches, so a * t
give the enemy equal apprthenfiooa for fev6ral fords : and,
after having procured the belt informatisn in mv power
J rcfolved to attempt the paflage at a private fdrd v Gh c n
nightly guarded) near M’Cowan’s Ford, on the niorftinff
ot the nt ot February. 5
Lieut. Col. Webster was detached with part of the ar-
\ n <l aB baggage, to Beattie’s Ford, fix miles a
bovc M Cowan’s, where Gen. Dividfpn was supposed to
be polled with 500 militia, and was directed to make evetV
p&lfible demonstration,, by cannonading and otherwise, of
an intention to force a pafl'age there ,• and I marched ac
one in the morning, yvhb the brigade ls, regiment
of Bole, 23d regiment, ico cavalry, and 2 three pound
ers, to tnp lord fixed i,non for the real- attempt. The
morning being very dark and rainy, and part of our way
through a wood where there was no road, one bf the three
pounders, In front of the sjd regiment and the “Cavalry’
overly*t in a lwamp, and occafiOnW those corky to iofe thZ
•tho ollui gun Rine .of whom had the riiatch) havirg Wua#
ped to affifl, weie like wife lertbehind. The head of the
column in the meanwhile arrived at the bank of the river
and day began to break. I could make no ufc of the <r uf £
that Was up, and it was evident, from the number of fire*
on the other fide, that the opposition-would be greater than
had expefted. However, as I knew that t*he rain t‘ eu
falling would soon render the river again impaiJabie, and I
bad received information the evening before that Gen
Greene had arrived in Gen. Morgan’s camp, and that hi*
army was muiuting after him with the greatest expediri
on, I determined not to from the attempt, and there,
fore, full of confidence in the zeal and ga'lantrv of B -pZ
<Lcr Gen. o Hara, and of the brigade of guards under hi*
command, I ordered them to march on;, but, to prevent

lheir behaviour juflified my high opinion of them - far a
co.nflant h.e from the enemy, in a ford upwards of r o o

rocky bottmi and fttong current, made no impieflion on
their cool and determined valour, nor checked their pas

formed, and in a few minutes killed or dispersed everv
