ON Thurfdjjty. an armed fchoOuer arrived with
dispatches from Wilmington, after a
Os 23 hours. * 43
We h„ve the pleasure to inform the publick
from very good authority, that MajoPCraK after
his gallant attack on the Rebels at RockfiflJ Bridge,
(when between 60 2nd 70 of the enemy were cut
to piece?, and 31 made prifor ers) dialled his
march towards Ncwbernf in such a.: able manner
as to prevent the junftion of the fevual Rebel par
tLt th .t we;£ collected in rot (itijudi t toutuics to
oppose him.. Being informed, on im arrival at
WdilarnsL Bridge, that a eoi.ftJercble body of
(>eft. i„y lungton b men e poked fix miles be-
Jow, he left the cannon and baggage ufider a guard,
u 4aic il'auding h;& long march, proceeded
to attack them; bdt the enemy having’fearnt hh
intentions went off witH fome precipitation. The
detachment halted, and had but just taken up their
.grdind, when a few Rebel light horse were re
ported to be in the adjacent woods. Major Craig
immediately puftied forward with the cavalry.,
confiding oLjf.3 men, officers included, and at about
500 yards beyond his picquets found a line of 250
cncfen light horse, headed by their General Caf
we!l, with every ofticer of .rank or influence among
them. Major Craig was witnin 50 yards of the
enemy before he perceived their great numbers;
he formed direftly, fending for rhe Yagers and
North Carolina regiment to his (upport; but being
jultly apprehensive of their encircling his little
party, and relying on the bravery ana good con
duct of the Bzd and Cnpt. Gordon’s troop, with-*
out waiting for the infantry, he Ordered them to
charge, which war immediately obeyed with the
mod distinguished alacrit/. The Rebels gave their
fire at 12 yards distance, which did not in the
fin.ilkft degree check the ardour of-the troops,
who rulhed among and Jifperfed them, TioTWEtO
(landing their great fupertority, killing rrn and
taking the fame number prisoners. Lieut. Dunlop,
with the 82d troop, puifucd them above four
miles with litre tfF-ft, the whole of tne Rebel
party Icing mounted on felefted horfei.; a f t nv
being entangled in the fwnmp? fell into the hands
of the loyal militia. It has ftnee been ur.derftood
that a very conliderable number were wounded.
” Gen. Cafwell escaped with difiiculty.
We have to lament the lofs-of that moft deserv
ing officer Capt. Gordon, of the Independent
Troop, who was the only person killed on this
QCCafi >n. His fall'fenfibly damp-> the fatisfaflion
we feel at tjie inconftderable loss on our. ftde in fb
. yci.y iifproportionate a couteft! One Qttarterfftiftcr
of the l egion, a ferjeant and one private of the
32d, wcie wounded, and hori'eykiJJed- and...
no march’ of the troop? fb -Nlfd
s fecrn, which they reached on the zeth ult'. win? un
:interrupted. A dilpofiTion for the defence of the
town had been made by the gafties and fotiie inha
bitants, which had no other enefl than causing the
exchange of a few fliot. The town was taken
pofteflion of, and the stores, coi.filling of abov
-3000 bushels of fait and a large quantity of ruin,
f with all the (hipping and me/ehandire at the
. wharves, were, immediately drJtroye.l. Mrj r,
Craig intended'rcmaining only two days, but get*,
ting information of M r. t. afwell’s being ported with
about 5,00 men at Coore's Creek, (i8 miles from
towm) intrenching himfelf, lie moved with an in
tention to attack hin. Mr. Cafwell cfcaped about
20 minutes before his arrival. Finding it difficult
to procure subsistence in that exhausted country,
Major Craig returned by Rutherford’s Mills to the
Sound, on which he is now’ encamped.
By the accounts from Wilmington we are happy
to find that the inhabitants in general of North
Cuioiina arc daily maoifefting their attachment to
his Mujcfty's govemn cat, by joining in large bo
dies, twu to the amount of i 2 oo men, and other
- wife afliftihg” in the suppression of this wicked and
unnatural rebellion.
L O N D ON, June 7.
Edward Thompson, of the Hy*na
J hig.ite, has written home to the Admiraky,
that fmee he has been on his present cruize he lias
captuicd four Dutch ships and a Fresch Guinea
man.
Admiral Darby's orders are to proceed to sea
wilhoucdelav, and his destination we underlland is
to make dircftJy for theSpanifh fleet, and to keep
between them and the port of Cadiz. Admirals
Digby and Parker are to fail in quest of M. Pic
qiut, arid to pro red the Jamaica fleet; and bi r
James Wallace is to hoist a broad pendant to go
with a squadron againlb the Dutch cruizing in tfte
north. Ts k ■
Lord Sandwich has nearly compleated his naval
ryiiitia fchenie ; the bid is to be perpetual, but for
tne men to fexve only four years, and at their ddk-
Charge to have a power of fettling in any pariffi In
England all the rest of their lives, andjo be paid
ten guineas the day they are difeharged.—
This day Lord Beauchamp’s bill for legalizing
informal marriages, and legitimating the children
sprung from them, was read a third time in the
I louse of Contfnons, and a<t-r a long speech from
Mi. Fox, the chief airn of which was to (hew the
necessity of repealing the marriage aft, -and in
which opinion Lord Nugent agreed with him, the
question was put that Lord Beauchamp’s bill do
pals, when it was carried withoutopp©fition. *
Juvi 9. By letters received at the Admiralty,
andya Lloyd’s, jironoht .by
Molly, arrived at Liverpool from Jamaica. \vc
h ive learned phe following agreeable intelligence;
That on. the * 3 d of Mijvthe JamaTca fleet’be my
oft :he Banks of Newfoundland, the convoy, con •

Rt.’fto!, and Fudvmi-jn, fell in with an old F:c. 1
64 gun fliip, armed en flute,, bound to Rhode
1 (land,.which the Egmont took. She had onboard
cloathing for ten regiments, stores of all.kinds far
two line of battle flops, 82 pieces of brass cannon,
two General Officers, and two millions of livres,
(about 80,0001. sterling ) The convoy arc bringing
home the prize.
They also recaptured the James and Rebecca,
belonging to Liverpool, taken by an American
cfiuzer, but could not Tome up with the privateer,
which mounted 18 gunr^dT r Tv .
- Jmic 16. Admiral Digby has received orders to
prepare to embark for New-York, to take upon
r *he chief command of the fleet on that ftatiotiy*
in the room of Vice Admiral Arbuthnot. Admiral
Digby is to be accompanied by his Royal Highness
Prince William Henry. . k < v
, Jamaica fleet have experienced a long rainy
pnflage, but they have not loft a Angle malt, nor
any one of the fleet, excepting only a transport of
(mail value, which foundered on the coast of Ire
land. , The French 64 is with them, and has on
board cloathing for 48,000 troops, with a great
quantity of brass and iron ordnance. It feenis
Gorg-efs had made, as it were, their last ilruggle,
pulh their credit in France far enough to enable
them to procure the fitting out and the freight of
this fliip ; the publick therefore may judge how
dntrefling to the Rebels the capture mull neceftarily
prove.
Parker being with his fleet- near the
-?orth Beas, there it little “probability of any acci- -
dent s intervening (in point of annoyance from sn
enemy) to prevent the fafe arrival of the whole
Jamaica fleet. -
