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. : N.
