From Memoirs of the American Revolution, as re lates to the State, of South Carolina—By John Drayton, L.L.D. [Concluded.] The engagement hail scarcely begun, when Gen. Clinton made dispositions for attacking (ho north-ea*t end of Sullivan's Island, defended by Col. Thorrtp-on. For this purpose, the armed schooner Lady William, and a sloop, which had been lying in the creek between Loner Island and she main came nearer that advanced post, for tbe purpose of covering the landing of the Briti-h troops —a number of shells were thrown from the mortar-battery upon the entrenchments on Sullivan’s Island—and the soldiers, and some right field pieces were embarked in boats: but Thompson returned their fire from hi a 18-pounder: which evincing their passage across the breach would be disputed with heavy can non, discouraged the en°mv from making the attempt, and they remained quiet spec tators of the action during the rest of the day.—About 5 o’clock in the afternoon, Colonel Thompson was reinforced by Colo nel Muhlenburg. with seven hundred con tinentals from Haddrell's Point; which rendered his situation more safe, against any attempts from Long Island, and effectu ally put to rest any desire, which General Clinton might still have entertained, for visiting Colonel Thompson’s quarters. At the commencement of tbe action, Colond Moultrie, was only provided with 4,600 pounds weigh* of powder; equal to about twenty-sis rounds for the cannon, and twenty rounds of musketry each man. Soon alter the action began, a farther sup ply ol powder of 500 pounds weight, was obtained from Charleston ; and 300 pounds weight from the South Carolina schooner; Defence commanded by Captain Tufts, then lying in the cove at the rear of the fort. \ So that the whole amount of powder with which Colonel Moultrie was supplied for, maintaining that important fortress, was only 5,400 pounds w eight. While the British men of war were pour ing their broadsides in one continued storm of balls and grape shot, the cannon from the fort were slowly-discharged, after I-- j ing pointed with precision by the officers J commanding; hence, altno-t every shot from the tort look effect; which in a great degree made, up for the scarcity of powder. On this occasion, the fort expended, during tbe action, about 5,766 pounds weight of powder; while the Bristol alone,-carrying the Commodore’s flag, expended 150 bar rels of powder: equal to about 15,000 pounds w eight. The Experiment carried 12 pounders on both deck* ; therefore, cal culating at one third the weight of powder to she ball, she probably expanded in the same lime, about 70 barrels of powder. On Ihi“ cijlculaiior;, allowing 36 barrels to the Active ard Solebay, constantly engag ed ; 20 to the Syren and Friendship par engaged; and 10 to the Acteon—an ?■’ 4ot 340 barrels of powder is pro duced, (besides what the Thunder bom - p ’; •>'* :) equal to about 34,000 weight of p vd r; and at three for one, to JU2,000 •po-juds. weight of shot.—Many of these ua is .ere buried in the spuegy logs of the (*ri ; many passed over the Island, into the marsh, towards the main; and it ivnscom p i <3, not less than 12,000 shot were dis c;:>:;?d against, the fort; of Which 1200 shot of different calibres, and some thirteen idch shells, were collected in the fort and it? vicinity, a few days after the action ; which more than reimbursed the number of shot which had been discharged from the , fort. Soon after the action comtnonceit, the three 12 pounder? which were in the cava lier to the left of (he fort, were abandoned; the works not being sufficiently high to protect the nsen that manned them. And lome time after, the flag staff <'f thp fort was shot away, and fell with the flag out side of the fort. Serjeant Jasper, of the grenadiers of the second regiment, no soon er perceived this misfortune, than he leap ed down from one of the embrasures, and disengaging the flag from the staff, hp re turned with it through a heavy , fire from the shipping; and fixing it on a sponge staff, he planted it once more on the summit of the merlon, amidst a shower of halls.— Then giving three cheers, he retired to his gUD, where ho fought throughout the en gagement. The loss of this flag was ob served at the different posts and at Charies- 1 tee * when tome thought the fort had sur rendered: but with its restoration, the drnoping spirits of the people were restor ed ; and, while they gloried in tbe gallan try of the garrison of Fort Sullivan, they offered up theirprsyers to Heaven for vic tory. The fire from the fort was principally directed at the Bristol and Experiment ships, carrying each fifty guns. The first was the flag ship, on board of which Sir Peter Parker was stationed; and Lord Wil iam Campbell, the late Governuur of the Province, having volunteered his services on board, he was complimented by Sir Pe ter, with a command on her lower deck.— Twice was Sir Peter's quarter deck clear ed of every man but himself, by the deadly fire from tbe fort; and, even Sir Peter him self, received two wounds; the gallant Com modore, however, remained at his post, en couraging his crew, and reinforcing his ship with men, from the other vessels, not so hotly engaged. At one lime, the spring rope of his ship was shot away ; when the Bistoi swung round by the wind, rode With her stern to the fort. All tbe fort guns were therefore pointed at her; and for some time, she was raked fore anil aft— the word passing along the platforms of the fort, “ to initul the Commodore—mind the two fifty-gun ships.” The day being very sultry, with a burning sun, the wind was extremely light; and tbe water con sequently smooth. .Had it been otherwise, it is probable the Bristol could not have | been kept from fiiiing; as she was shot through in many places, betwixt wind and water; and was otherwise so damaged i.i her large knees and timbers, that the car penters of the squadron were called to her qss.slauce, while the battle raged in all its fury. The Expuruneut was also exceed ingly damaged in her hull; several of ber ports besng beaten in. On the part of the fort, at one lime, three or four of the enemy’s braodsjdes struck the merlons at the satne motnrnr, which gave them suen treutour, that it was apprehended a few more, equally well de livered, would have tumbled them down, and during the whole engagement the south-western curtain of the fort was so enfiladed by the line office from the ships, and the caDn”n mounted there were so of ten struck and indented by bail -md grape shot—that had tbe frigates taken their sta tion at the cove as was intended, they could not have been opposed from the guns on this side, as the men on the platlorm would have beeD exposed to the taking fire of the shipping in front of the fort, which unless the frigates couid have been beaten off bv the batteries at Haddrell’s Point, at long shot; would have made it a slaughter stage indeed, as General Lee had said. While the battle was raging, Gen. Lee despatched a teller to Col. Moultrie, bv Major Byrd one of his aids, ordering him If he should expend his ammunition, without beating off the enemy, or driving them on ground; to spike up his guns and retreat with all the order possible ; he however intimated to him, that he knew the Cnl. woold be careful not to throw away his am munition.—Thus situated, Col. Moultrie was placed in a most delicate situation. If be exhausted hi- ammunition he was to de sert the fort; and thereby subject Col. Thompson at the extreme end of the Bland, to be cut off, with the whole of his com mand. If he could retain a part of the am munition, he was not required to abandon 1 the fort. He-prudently pursued the latter ■ mode of conduct; and by ordering the dis charges of the cannon to be slackened to intervals of about ten minutes each gun, he was enabled so to protract the defence, a to save himself the dishonour,& his country the loss which would have resulted, had the fort been so hastily abandoned. The powder however, getting too much reduc ed, and a rumour spreading that (he British effected a landing between Col. Thompson and the fort, Col. Moultrie ordered the cannnn to cea c e firing; or if they did, to fire extremely slow upon the shipping. And hence it vv ? supposed by the Briti-h, that at this period, the fort was silenced. This was between the hours of three and five in the afternoon. However a supply of powder being received the firing from the fort was delivered at shorter intervals through the remainder of the day. About five o’clock in the afternoon, when the supply of Ponder arrived, General Lee with his aid, passed in a boat from Had droll's Point to Fort Sullivan, through the Br'tish line of fire ; and ascending the plat form of the fort, he pointed two or three of the cannon, which were discharged at the enemy. He remained there about a quarter of an Ijpur; then saving to Cos! Moultrie, “ I see you are doing very weii here, you have no occasion for me—l will go tip to town again be left (ho fort it, the care of those who had so well defended it, and returned to Haddrell’s Point, through the same line of fire in which he had pro ceeded. From every information respecting the situation of the enemy, there i reason for believing, that had the fort been better supplied with powder, so that a cessation of firing for two hours, with trifling excep. tions, had not taken place, the two fifty eun ships, would have been obiiged, to strike their colours, or they would have been sunk. As during a good part of the day, the tide was against their retreating;; anH if they had proceeded towards F"ft | Johnson or Charleston, they would have i had greater force and difficulties to contend with.And such was the slaughter on board of these two ships,—before the fire of the i fort slackened, that a remonstrance was made to Sir Peter Parker, that if the fire from the fort continised equally severe, these two their crews would be destroyed. It was then contemplated to abandon thpm, and to tow off the frigates; but, by this time, the fort through the want was in a manner placed i hrs combat; ly which his Britannick Majesty’s ships were saved from total ruin. This heavy and continued cannonade from the British ships of war damaged the fort in a very small degree ; a? most °f ‘he shot passed over it towrd? the main land, cut ting off the branches of trees in their way (Many shot however struck the fort, and penetrated the palmetto logs, hut their ‘spungy texture received them without any splinters being detached; and hence les injury was done to the garrison, than might otherwise have taken place. Ten men of the second regiment, one matross of the fourth regiment of artillery, and a mulatto boy, belonging to Lieutenant Dunbar, were killed, and twenty-three of the second regi jtneut, including two officers, Lieutenants Henry Gray and Thomas Hall, and two matrosses of the 4th regiment of artillery, were wounded ; the total number of killed being twelve, and the wounded twenty-five. The eighteen pounder next but one to the flag staff, in the south-eastern bastion, had a large piece of its muzzle shot off: and the next eighteen pounder westward of it. which was commanded by Capt. Ashby, was at one time divested of half the men wlto manned it, For, as six men (three of a side) were in the act of hand-spiking the piece up to the embrasure, after its being loaded, a cannon-ball entered the embra |Sore, and cut down at once all three of the trun who were on one side. Their names were Luke Flood, Richard Rodgers, and Baac Edwards, belonging to Capt. Ashby’s company; and so deadly was the effect of the bail which struck them, that they fell down on the platform immediately, torn to piec es; and without saying a word, gasped away thpir lives. Net quite so sudden a death had the noble minded Serjeant M’Daniel, of Captain Huger’s Company ; for, although he had his stomach and bow els shot away by a cannon ball, yet life and vigour remained in him long enough to en able him to address his comrades in these words : “ Fight on my brave boys ; don't let liberty expire -with me to day.” So noble a sentiment passed with rapidity along the platforms animating the officers and men with an increasing desire of performing their duties; and of revenging the death of a man so honourably transferred in the service of his country. In this action the Bristol and Experiment were greatly damaged in their hulls, spars and rigging; and they were shot through by many ol the 26 pound shot; it is said that not less than seventy balls went through the Bristol. She had upwards of one hun dred men killed and wounded, and the Ex periment not much less ; and each of their captains lost an arm, and died in a few days after. Twice the quarter deck of the Bris ted was cleared of every person, except Sir Peter; and he received two splinter wounds, one on his thigh and the other on his knee. The Bristol had nine 26 pound shot in her mainmast; which obliged them ; to cut it away fifteen feet below the bounds, her rnizenmast was stricken by seven 26 pound shot, and was so shattered, as to ren : ! der it necessary for its entire removal. The Experiment had her mizen gaff shot | away, the other vesseis sustained but little damage, as the fire from the fort was prin cipally directed upon the Bristol and Ex periment. The Solebay, had eight men ! killed, and four wounded. The Active,; one Lieutenant killed and six men wound- i ed. And Lord William Campbell, who during part of the action had commanded and fought some of tbe lower deck ,32 pounders of the Bristol, received a wound m his left side, which, it is said, ultimately caused his death. The morning of the 29th of June pre sented a humiliating prospect to British pride. To the south-west of the fort, at the distance of near a mile, lay the Acteon frigate fast ashore on the Lower Middle Ground. Below the fort about two miles and a half,the men of war and transports were riding at anchor, opposite Morris’s Island; while Sir Peter Parker’s broad pendant was hardly to be seen od a jury main top mast, considerably lower than the foremast of his ship. And on the left, General Clioton was kept in check by the trnop3 under Colonels Thompson and Muh lenburg. On the contrary, how glorious were the other points of view ? The azure colours ot the fort, fixed on a spunge staff, waved geqtly on the winds. Boal? were pas-ing and repassing in safety, from and to the fort arid Charleston, and the hearts of the people were throbbing with gratitude and the most exhilarating trans port- 1 At this time the garrison at sqrt Moultrie fired n few shots at the Acteon; which vere returned from her by Captain Atkins ; and to prevent her falling into our hands, . ■ set fire to, and quitted ber, with his crew, leaving her colours flying and her cannon loaded But this did not prevent net- being taken possession of. For Lieu tenant Jacob Milligan, of the Prospect ship of w ar, and a party of men went down to I her in three boats—boarded her while on ‘ fire—pointed and fired three of her guns ai the British Commodore—stripped her of what tne pressing moments permitted, and finally brought off her colours, ship’s bell, and as much of her sails and stores as his ■boats could contain. He ba<f scarcely done this, when the Acteon blew up, with an awful explosion ; and the smoke ascend ing in columns, and afterwards expanding | around, is said at its first expansion, to have i formed an appearance not unlike the ma jpstick stem and umbrella top of a palmet to tree. This display was, therefore, pe i culiarly grateful to the pride and feelings of Carolinians : ns the fort, which had pro ; tected the town, and had obtained the vic tory, was principally constructed with the stems of the palmetto tree. In the course of this day, many were the greetings which took place at Sullivan’s Island, between the garrison of the fort and their frienejifrorn Charleston; uni Mr. William Logan lent 72 the garrison a present of a hogshead of ex cellent Antigua rum. His excellency the President also presented them with a hogs head of rum, desiring his particular thank to the brave officers and men ; and assuring them General Lee said no men ever did, and no meu ever could behave better,— and that he would do them justice in bis letters to the Continental Congress. i ii in in xrmn— — NMA—M—WWW? i .i General Intelligence. THE LATE QUEEN OF ENGLAND. We bad only time and room briefly to mention in our last the death of this unfortunate female, whose persecution and sufferings have excited a general sympathy and attention wherever they have been known. Below ws have collected some of the particulars relating to her illness, anil the observations which she made during the dif ferent stages of her disorder, which plainly indi cate, that her most inveterate enemies could not have regarded her approaching dissolution with more complaceucy then herself; and if there were those who considered her continuance in the world as an obstacle to the accomplishment of their designs either of ambition or interest, >hey were not more solicitous for the arrival of that moment when it should be forever removed, than the suffering subject of their jealousy and hale. It is hardly probable, that the composure and resig nation which she evinced on the bed of death, arose from any other cause than that which she herself gave—a desire to be relieved from the per plexities and troubles sf a world where she had experienced, for more than twenty-five years, little else than persecution and insult, and in which she could hardly expect any thing in fu ture but a continued series of degradation, suf fering and sorrow. Her family have been equally distinguished for courage and misfortune ; most of the male members having perished in battle, A brother, who might have defended, advised and supported her during the last eventful year of her life, fell at Waterloo, and she was left without any relatives of sufficient influence to interpose ef fectually in her behalf. There are certainly few women who would have sustained so much suffer ing—so many heart-breaking and complicated tri als, with that spirit and fortitude which have cha racterized the life of the late Queen of England, The desertion of a husband under the most aggra vated circumstances—the death of an only child, who had been long banished from her society by the cruel mandate of the father—the frequent loss of other relatives—the aspersions which were constantly heaped upon her character—and a pub lick arraignment for the alleged commission ofan infamous crime, which, if proved, must have placed her life in the hands of a husband who had abandon ed and degraded her—together with all the in sults and indiguities which she received, even af ter her acquittal, and to the last hours of her ex istence, from those who were bound to respect her as the legal wife of their sovereign—were af flictions, we should litink more than sufficient to break down her spirits, and send her to an untime ly grave. Our only surprize is, that she has borne up so long under the persecutions and bereave ments which it has been her unhappy lot to suf fer. But she has gone to that world where the malice of her enemies cannot affect her--and to a tribunal where hate, or gold, or human pow-i er, cannot impede the course of justice; and : where the motives and conduct of herself and her i accusers will be impartially examined, and a right eous judgment rendered. She was the daughter of Charles William Fred erick; Duke of Brunswick, and her mother was the eldest sistar of George Third. She was born in 1768, and was married to the Prince of Wales, now George IV., in 1795. Her body, by her own request, was to be re moved to Brunswick, and laid by the side of her father and brother. Suitable measures for its re moval were taken by the government, and a guard of honour appointed to attend her remains to Ger many. Her property, with the exception of pres ents to her physicians, servants, &c. she has wil led to William Austin, a lad whom she adopted, and who has been her constant attendant. She directed that her body should not bu laid in state, aud that it should be sent off in three days. The following inscription to be placed on her tomb : a To the memory of Caroline of Brunswick, the injured queen of England.” From the London Traveller , Aug 8. The following particulars of her majesty’s ill ness have transpired since her death, anil their accuracy, we believe, may be relied upon. They serve at once to exhibit the state of her mind and the excellence of her character. When her majesty’s illness first assumed a seri ous character, Dr. Holland requested her permis sion to send for another physician, observing, that whatever might be his own individual skill and at tention, yet the.publick will necessarily expect, ii the case of a queen, that every possible aid should be had recourse to. Her Majesty answer ed with a smile to the following effect : “ My dear doctor, you please ; if it will be any relief to your own mind to call in assistance, do so ; but do not do it for my sake ; I have no wish to live, 1 would rather die.” Indeed, from the first moment that her majesty was assured of the very serious nature of her indisposition, she clung to the assurance with joy and gratitude,and listened with a reluctant ear to the hopes of re covery which her physicians and friends held out to her from time to time. It was observed that she desponded too much ; that Publick Opinion was in her favour, and would make her amends for all her sufferings. Her majesty asked, “ What Publick Opinion had done for her ?” It was an swered that it had defeated that late dreadful at tempt to ruin her, the Bill of Pains and Penalties. Her reply was prompt and firm—“ What am 1 the better fi'r the failure of that hill? If it had passed, I should have been degraded, and what is my situation now ? I have, indeed, the empty ti tle of Queen, but am I Queen of England ? Have 1 the privileges, the power, the dignities of a Queen of England ? No, no ; I am a private person—l am not a Queen of England.” On Friday the symptoms of her disorder had become very alarming, and the physicians had scarcely any hope of her recovery. She received the announcement of her danger with admirable calmness and composure ; and shor‘ly afterwards proceeded to make her will. There was an air of cheerfulness about her after she had signed it which induced one of the professional ad .isrrs (we understand Mr.Broughum) to express a hope that she felt herself easier and better. Her majesty answered, “ O no, my dear Mr. Brougham, 1 know I shall die, and Ido not at all regret it.” On Saturday and Sunday, in spite of some fa vourable symptoms which iuspired the physicians with hope, she still expressed her firm conviction that she should die. bhe seemed to feel pleasure in talking on the subject, and rejoiced in antici pating her release from trouble—her escape from the malice of her enemies. She said that in this world, whether in England or abroad, the rancour of her persecutors would always beset her ; and it was only in another wurld she could look for peace and justice. She expressed the deepest re gret she was so little able to reward those fe.ilh lul servants who had stood by her in her difficul ties, but hoped that government would not let them want. She declared herself ivurmly grateful, and hoped her gratitude would be made known to that generous portion of the people ofEugland whose upport of her had been most wanted, and who had never been frightened froai her enuse eilhir by the power orcaluomy of her Oppressors, “ England,” said she, “ has been to me a land of sorrow and persecution; but 1 know how to love those faithful English ivho have always sym pathized with my sorrow, and have done all in their power to defeat the malice of my persecu tors.” She sent for Mariette Brune, to whom she declared her perfect forgiveness of her sister’s (Dumont’s) cruel falsehoods. Her majesty spoke of her enemies in terms of pity—forgave them all, and even made allowances for their conduct on the score of human weakness and the frailty of human nature. On Monday night, her physicians seemed to. think her majesty out of all danger; she was in formed of their opinion, but insisted that they were mistaken, adding, she felt she was dying,aud thought she should die before nine o’clock the next evening. It is not improbable that her ma jesty then felt the symptoms of incipient mortifi cation. To the remark of her physicians, that conversation might disturb her, she answered, “ I th<sfk my physicians for their kind attentions; they mean nothing but what is right, but they do not understand my character ; they think that it agitates me to talk of death : they are mistaken ; to me, who have little pleasure in the past, and no prospect of future tranquillity in life, it is a pleasure to contemplate my approaching death, •and why may I not speak what I feel ? All these observations were made with such sweetness of manner, and such calmness of tone, as to make an impression never to be effaced from the minds of those who were present. She took occasion to observe, that her adversaries had put in practice two modes of separating worthy people from her society ; one was to deter them from visiting her by propagating the most atrocious calumnies against her and them ; the second was, when they saw her surrounded hy persons of honour, to endeavour by anonymous letters, and all meant in their power,to poison her mindjagiiinst them, in order to induce her to break with them. “ Against the former, (said she) I could have no help ; the second plan I soon detected and defeated.” She then alluded to the practice of opening the body after death, and said that she saw no occasion for the operation in her case, and wished it not to be done. Bhe then begged that she might not be made a show of after death. “ There has been,” she observed smilingly’, “ quite enough of that in my lifetime ; besides, there are persons who kept aloof from me when alive, who may have no ob jection to see me n hen dead, and there is no good reason for satisfying their curiosity.” She then again adverted with great regret to her inability to bestow adequate compensation on her friends, and servants, but said their kindness was deeply written on her heart. At 4 o’clock, Tuesday afternoon, an access of fever came on, which produced for a short time a greater exaltation of spirits than she had yet man ifested ; during this period she expressed herself with mpre vehemence of manner, but still with forbearance of language, touching the cruel con spiracies of her inveterate foes ; but her fever soon subsided, and she recovered her usual gentle tone, and her calm and firm demeanour ; the was again all resignation to the will of God. A drowsiness then came on which lasted till 8 o’clock ; when she awoke, and observing by her bed-side, Dr. Holland, who had often expressed a hope of her recovery, said, “ Well, my dear doctor, what do you think now ?” Her majesty soon became in sensible, but remained alive for nearly two hours, showing by her breathing a vigour of the lungs and of the heart which the Physicians said ex ceeded any case they had ever witnessed. At 25 minutes past ten herheroick and persecuted spir it ascended to the regions of truth, justice and peace. Her majesty died as she lived, a Bruns wick—a heroine. ‘fhe tears of her friends, the agony of her ser vants, we have before described, and have only to add, that the physicians betrayed emhtions of grief not eften seen among medical men. Lord and Lady Hood, Lady Ann Hamilton, Alderman Wood and son, the Rev. Mr, Wood, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Wilde, Mr. Austin, and five medical gentlemen were present at the time of her death. A subscription is proposed to erect a statue to ’her memory ; and the question already agitated in the papers, “ Will the King marry again ?” When the news of Bonaparte’s death reached Vienna, the Court immediately went into mourn ing. The intelligence of his death excited no sen ■ sation at Madrid. The Marquis de la Fayette had presented a pe tition to the French Chamber of Deputies for the removal of Bonaparte’s body. A British fleet is to assemble in the Turkish seas, for the protection of the merchants during the present troubles. m ■..■■■■■janiujw—gtwi^B—K3——oat——i J- & H. Ely, BOOKSELLERS—AUGUSTA, {GEO.)
