From thence 1 proceeded slowly towards Ci offeree!?, at tending to the convenience of subsistence, and the movement of our wounded. On my way I iflued the inclofed proclamation, and took every other means in my power to reconcile enemies, and to encourage our friends to join us. F/om all my information I intended to have Baited at Croflcreek as a proper place to refrefh and refit the troops; and I was much disappointed, On my arrival there, to find it totally impofiible. Provisions were scarce, not four days forage within 30 miles, and to us the navigation of the Cape Fear River to Wilmington impracticable, for the distance by water is upwards of 100 miles. Under these circumftanccs 1 was obliged to continue my march to this place, in the neighbourhood of which 2 arrived on the 7th inst. I have been busy since my arrival in disposing of our sick and wounded, and in procuring the ne cessary supplies, to put the troops in a proper Rate to take the field. , Capt.

(Signed) CORNWALLIS. Extract of a letter from Lieut . Col. Balfour tt Lord Getrge • Germain, anted Char left onvn, May 1, 1781. Mr Lord, BY Lord Cornwallis’* difpitebes, which are herewith tfanfmitted, your Lordship will be informed* that, after the a£lion at Guildford, Gen. Greene being obliged to retreat’from before the King’s army, turned his vie .vs to a atcis this province, ai the more vulnerable point, fn the abfrnce of Lord Cornwallis. ’ With this idea on the 19th ultimo he came before Camden, having with Him near xeoo continentals and fe vers! corps of militia ; Lord Rawdon having charge of that pofi, axd about Bco British and Provincial troops to fuflain it. For fome days Gen. Greene kept varying his portion, waiting, as i supposed, to be reinforced by the corps un der Brigadier Marion and Col. Lee, which were on their way, being ordered to join him. judging it neceflary to strike a blow before this jun&ion could take pla£t, and learning that Gen. Greene had de tached to bring up his baggage and provisions, Lord Raw don, with the moft marked decision, on the morning of the 25th, marched with the greater part of his force to meet nhn, and abemt ten ©’clock attacked the Rebels in their camp at Hobkirk’s, with that spirit, which prevail ing over fuoerior numbers, and an obfidnate refinance, compelled them to give way, and the pursuit was continu el for three miles. To accident only they were indebted for laving their guns, which being drawn into a hollow, out of the road, were overlooked by our troops in theflufli of vidtory and pursuit, so that their cavalry, in which they greatly exceeded us, had an opportunity of taking them off. My Lord Rawdon ftate* the loss of the enemy, on this occasion, as upwards of 100 ptifoners, and 400 kil - led and wounded, his own not exceeding 100, in which is included 1 officer killed, and 11 wounded. After this defeat Gen, Greene retired to Rugcley’s Mills, (i2 miles from Camden) in order to call in his troops and receive the reinforcements; but as Lieut. Col. Watson, of the guards, who had been for fome time de tached by Lord Rawdon, with a corps of 500 men, to cover the eastern frontiers of the province, is directed by me.to join his Lordlhip, lam in hopes he will be able fpcedily to accomplish this. ——-h-i to thefeveral letters which Lord Rawdon has been so good to transmit me that 1 am indebted for the detail 1 have now the honour to present your Lordship, and which I trtrff his Lordship wjll hereafter conclude in the moll fatisfafltoVy manner. & m :* >f( # WHereas.by an ail of the General Afterfibly, passed ihe day us Atiguft in IK we the fubferibers were appointedCommiffioners ro inquire after, enter upon, take charge and pofT-flion of, and hold and detain, all the Ellate reel and perso nal of Noble Jones, Esq. dectafed, for the fatif- and payment of a debt due by the said de ceased to the Publick of this province, Notice is hereby given to all persons who know of or hold poflfeflion of any part of the eflate of the said de ceased, that they immediately deliver over unto us, or make known where the property of the said deceased may be found.
