ptSc of fuede'fs be'cauae hopcierS, ifhey fled in cofifufion from the field—leaving it covered with their dead and wounded. Their loss was tmmenfe. I had at firft com puted it at 15(40; but it isftnce ascertained to have been much greater. Upon information, which is beiieved to be correct, Colonel Ilhynes, the Infpeftor General, re ports it to be in total 2600.— 3 - His report I encoloie you. My loss was inconsiderable; being only * seven killed and fix wounded.— Such a disproportion in loss, when we confider the number and the kind, of troops engaged, ruuft, I Jfcnow, ‘excite aftoniftimenr, and ginay not, every where, be credit ed ; yet I am perfe&iy fatisfied lhat the account is not exaggerated on the one part, nor underrated on the ’other. The enemy having baftily quit ted a poll which they had gained y:>fleUiou of, on the other tide of ’ the river, and we having immedi ately returned to it j both armies at prefeut occupy their former po sitions. Whether, Rafter the severe losses he has sustained, he is pre paring to return to his {hipping, or so make fill higher efforts to attain his fu ff objeft, l do not pretend to determine. It becomes me to aft *>& though the latter were his in tention- One thing however, (perns certain., that u he ltill calcu lates on effacing what he has hith erto been usable to accompUfh, he uiuft expeft coo fide cable reinforce ments ; as the for . with which he landed must undoubtedly be di nuuhhe i by at lead 3000. Be tides the lot's which he sustained on the right of tile 23d ult. which is Tii mated at 400, he [cannot have jjuftered less between that period and the morning of the Bth inftatt, than 300 —having, within that time, been repulsed in two general attempts to drive us from our por tion, and there having been con tinual cannonading and fldrmifhing, during the whole of it. Yet he is (till able to shew a very formi dable force. There is little doubt that the commanding general, Sir Edward Fackingham was killed in the action of the Bth, and that majors 4 general Sean and Gibbs were had ly wounded. Whenever a more leiftire mo* menl (hall occur, I will take the liberty to make out and forward you a more circumstantial account of the several aftions, and particu larly that of the Bth, in doing which my chief motive will be to render j iftlce to those brave men I have the honor to command, and who have so remarkably distinguished themselves.

Yes fellow citizens, that nation blacked in the catalogue of infamy, the tyrant cf the ocean, the monopolizer of pow er, the boaster of unconditional sub-, mission, we have brought to bow to the shrine of right—brbught to the mortified and humiliating refleftion of knowing by woeful experience, that his threats and pretentions were ct impotent and vain”—that a government like ours, formed up on the basis of Justice arid Wifdoni is in strength a r which bids defiance to the purturbed billows of intreague, treachery and opprefTiori. Where is the patriot whole pjrfe 1 and whose sword united their in fluence for the salvation of his coun try, but feels within his bread: those immortal ienfations preferibed to just men made perfect: and where is the wretch whose treacherous ef forts have thwarted the interests of his country, but (brinks from the gazp of virtue, and feels the curse of pefterity entailed on his head. Then be this curse his reward, and every passion of the foul, which blisters and confounds its joy, o’er whehn him until every injury has had its equivalent. We underfland fonie diflatisfac tion exists with our Patrons, in con sequence of the inferiority of the paper on which we priut, and in consequence of not receiving their papersoit the established time.
