1111'. general government has at
length made an effort to interrupt
that intncourle, which has so fuc
cefsfully and t xtenfively exilted be

our enemy. How long will it em

we continue t > lurnilh her with
men and proviilon: { is an enquiry
that might well have beiti made,
for lome time p.dt.— F>r while we

and ample provision has been made
for the maintainence and lubiiftcncc
of the rifle volunteers, when they

bay any force which the enemy
may attempt to bring before this
city, or to receive him in such a
manner as your committee hope,
will confer equal honor upon the
bravery of our people, and the
righteous cause in which they are

Beaufort, (s. c.) Aug. .5.
“ I have just returned from visi
ting the Harbor and Encampments,
near Beaufort. The inhabitants
are moving off'every thing of value
to the back country, together with
their families—a guard will be left
with them, and the active men will
return to their duty. If the Biitifh
visit us, they have nothing to gain ;
we are chiefly supplied with provi
ficns from the interior, and that
scarce. If they wlii hunt our woods
for twelve hours, they might catch
one or two poor beeves. There is
not water enough on the lea ffiorc,
to supply one flap; and what is
there, I’ll warrant they wont find
wholesome when they tafle it. 1 or
pedocs, floating barrels, rafts to
drift with the tide, with trees bored
and charged ; together with every
human invention, how fecreily
planned, are preparing to deft ray
the enemy. Our Forts are all in
order, our Militia well trained, and
the Regulars long anxious to repel
and cut in pieces the calves of John
Bull.

are happy to announce the arrival
of Gen. Hampton at Burlington.

That colonel Clark is ordered on
to Washington, to close his accounts.
I That the officers there w-ere gen
erally ordered to their duty in camp.
That citizens confined by the mil
itary (if any) were ordered to be
released.
That the officers ware informed,
that their bufinels is to take Canada
not to take care of citizens. —
They are to he left in the hands of
the civil magiftrafes and to the op

Such a change at Burlington will
indeed be turning over a new leaf.
We hope lilt itiloi man .inno; p:r
