LAST Monday enme u* here
three mort jktefters From
Gen. Wayntv’s c*rnp at Ebenezer,
where \ve learn that a .detachment
of Continental cavalry and sortie
militia still continue,, who arc in
great want of premiums and forage.
It seems the Rebels have taken
con fide rable pains to propagate a
report in their camps,that we com
pel their deserters to inlift in our
service, and thaf their liorfes are
taken from them, notwithstanding
the well known fadt that they have
fold them for very high p/ices ter
whom tfifcvLpleafrH, and after db
"faming 1 ccHTfi
cate gs their hating cotftc into the
British lines for protection, and
being recommended for afliftance,
and not to be prefled into his Ma~
jelly’s service by sea or land, they
have been furniShed with provisions
and a pafiage, and had permilTtoh
to retire with their money to ar.y
part of his Majesty’s dominions, or
go wherever they thought proper,
—-HoW’diUcrcnt is their situation
governmenr, frohi
that arbitraryone they lately groan
ed under; expoftii to every Ipecies
of hardship and danger, without
pay, the common comforts of life,
or even the fc.lf-convidtion of being
a just cause, which is
the loldifes support through all
difficulties.

of which gives me the moft lilartning apprehenfioi s
of its truth, bir.ee then we have I ten pit mg , $

the prelcnt hour, with out fvmg able to proiuie
nny further information, except from ftioiuen u
in a canoe, whofc report exadly tJDnefpunds
with tht former.
Comparing, therefore, the intelligence given by
thole people, and several others since come in, with
the purport of Lord Cornwallis’s letter, a copy of
which I have the honour to indofe for your Lord*
flnp’s information, we cannot entertain the lead
doubt of hrs Lo.dihip’s hiving capitulated, and
tliat we are unfortunately too l .te to relieve him 1
‘Vt'hiclrbring The onfy oo;<a of the expedition, the
A-roWJrli _ determined upon reluming with las

I beg leave to mention to your Lordlhip, thaf
the army is under the greardt obligation* to the
Admuak, the Captains, and the officer* of the
Ring * Imps, for the chcaifulncf* with which they
Xubixaued to many and great iaconvenicnccs for

SIR,
,I' AST evening the enemy carried my two ad
vanced redoubt* on the left by florm, and during -
the mght have included them in their fecoud paraL
Id, which they are at pident busy in perfefling,
” My situation now becomes very critical. \V*
dare not ffiew a gun to il.eir old batteries, and I
expett their new ones will be open tomorrow mor
..Mifg*ience has ft,twn that our frdhcarihen
uoik: do ret icf.ft their powerful artillery, so that
we fliallfoon be expofi and to an jffiult in ruined
works, 111 a-bad pofitian, and with weakened
number's.

lave us, J have the honour to be, with great

Admjmitt Office, NovembeV 27. .
CAP t. Mclcombe, of his Majcfly's (loop the
Rattlefna! c, arrived at this office late on Sunday
night fivm North America, with dispatches front
Rear Admiral Graves to Mr. Stephens, of which
the following is an extraft :
London, at Sea, OSober 29, 1781.
In my Hfl lettcr, bv the Lively, Capt. Manly,
J d'diffd you to acquaint my -Lord* Commiffwnt-s
of iheTdmirahy of my having parted the bar of
New Yoik with the British fleet, with 7000 of the
army embarked, to go to the relief of Earl Corn
wallis at York in the Chtfapeak.
ihe fleet accordingly failed the moment the
troops were put on board, and proceeded the fame
day {the 19th) for the Chefapeak.
The 24th we received intelligencrfrotn a black
man, who was pilot of his Maje Sly’s ship Charon,
a white man who belonged to the Quartern!after
General * department, and another black man, who
had made their efcipe together from York* that
Lord Cornwallis had capitulated on the 18th inst.
Ihe day before the fleet failed from Sandy Hook.
The 26th one of our boats brought eft’ fome
people, from the ikore near Cape Charles, who
gave the fame report of the capitulation.
The 2tth his Majesty’s ship La Nymphe joined
us from New-York, and brought dispatches from
Lord Cornwallis, dated the 15th, 3 copy of which
is iaejofed, and leaves little room to question the
truth of the other intelligence. The three people
being Hill on board and iqueftioned again, and
known for wbaithey reported themselves robe by
several perfoni, helped still to corroborate ; I
therefore determined to detach the Rattlesnake for
to give the earliest information to their
I<ol dillips,that Government may be prepared to
receive the paifteiilm. “ “ r ;- ...
1 (hould have bees happy to have tried every
possible means to effeft a relief, could We have ar
rived in time ; that profpeft being at an end, I
determined to leave this ftatioa and return to New*
York.
