Theoth I‘nji,arriwd at New?ork in15 Days from Charles- tewn, South Carolina, Capt. Lempriere, who we hear came Exprefs to His Excellency General Amber}, from the Gowirnor of Carolina, deliring Affflance againft the Indign Exemy. 3 CHAARLES TOWN, (South Carolina,) November 22. On Saturday laft an Exprefs arrived with the difpatches 1o bis Honour, from Capt Benjamin Gordin, of the Roy- al Scots, Commanding Officer at Congarees, and Enfign Miln of the Indepéndents, Commandant of Fort Privce George, Keowee. : : Fort Prince George, Nov. 3. «« The following particulars appearing to me of Juch geveral and weighty concern, I have Sorwarded the [ame to Charleftoron with all poffible difpatch. On the 1 A inflant Fobn Welch came in bere from the Middle Settlements, and informed that Louis Lantinac, a4 Frenchman born, cwho was a Cadet in Capt. Nelfow's independent Gompany, thereafter a trader from Carolina among the Cherokees, and now a French officer, arrived wery lately at Chote with prefents from the French 1o thefe Indians. -~ He immediate- 4y [ent down for Salloue o the Young Warrior of ERatoe, who obeyed the fammons, and delivered to bim two letters ewhich goere in. Salluwe’s hands, written by me to Judd's Friend and Oucannofla. Lantinac being mafier of both the Englifb and Cherokee tongues, interpreted thofe letiers as beft fuited bis own interef? ; and baving prefented Sal lous with a box of paint, which was accepred, be palied out a bloody haicket, drove it into-a log, and cried out Where is tae man that will take that up for the Fiench 2 Sallue immediately [iizzd the batchet, [aying, I am not tired of war yet,[ will give them the Englith more of it, axd danted the war dance ; after which all the others took up the hatchet, and declared for the Fremeh. Lanti- mac enguired if they could give bima lan of this fort, or an account bow it was fituated 5 what force we had in their opinisn, &5c. To which they gave as true anfwers as they could, adding, that we had plenty of ammunition if De eruld but take it. He affured_ them that they alone Sbould bave the furt. and all that [bould be taken in it for neither be nor any of bis pesple would touch any of the plander, adding that be swould go off, dows the river Te- naffe, to L' Affamption, and brixg canncn and men of bis covn to come againft the fort 5 and as a prosf of bis deter- mined defign to return, left the ten Frenchmen which ac companied bim as a pledge thereof, which be effured them cwould be in three weeks fram that time at furtheft. Welch likewife informed me, that the Prench commandant of Fort L’ Affomption Jext an invitalion to the Standing Turkey, Fuid's Friend, Queannofloia, Salloue, €¢c. to come. to his Fort 5 bat if they accepted the ingitation be knew nat. He likewife informed me that Jome Indians were gone ¢0 Col. Byrd with three white prifoners, and that after the Che- rokees had delared in favour of the French, a runner was aifpaiched to bring them back; but whetber be cvertook them or mat be conld mot be certain.” Thus hath the reftlefs and enterprifing fpirit of our old inveterate enemy found means to change every ep- pesrance of peace with the Cherokees, who feem now 16 be doomed to certain and unavoidable deftrodtion, as they have fo often wantonly fpurned the olive-branch firetched out by the hand of mercy. The ftate of the three hiindred white prifoners flill in their hands demands the moft ferious attention. Lotters from New Provideace of the 1ft indt. fays, ¢ The Evening befove laft, Csp:. Benj. Ciidord arrived « bere from Turks Ifland, who fays that our men of < war on the Jamaica Staiion, ciuizing off Cape Fran- < cois, took the French homeward bound fleet, confiit- < ing of 5 Kiny’s Frigates.and feven merchantmen,’’— "T'he fame letiers mention the death of Capt. Tyrrel of the Foudroyant, and a report of a firong Britifh flzet being ariived in the Weft Indies, defigned sgainft Mar- tineco, where the French Troops are making preparati- ons egainft an attack. e Afirs in the Cherokee nazion have taken fuch an unfavourable turn, that the prifoners not loag fince fent up to the Congarees, are now orlered to be brought back to tawn, and will come with the Royals who are likewile to bring down the villains that have been de- teéted procuring goods for the Cherokees. Some letters from -Philadelphia received velterday, mention a report, that the famous m+jor Rogers will be appointed to fucceed the late Cap. Paul Demere, in the command of one of his Majzfty’s independent com- panies here. e 5 The Captain of a veflel juft arrived from Bermuda, informs ns, that “On the 4¢h inft, about 35 leagues W. of Bermuda, he faw f{even fail of large thips which gave him chace, one of them came up with bhim, who told him they were Britith men of war, lalt from England, ¢t and being afk:d, whi her bound ? anfwered, ona cruife. The Captain adds, that the men of war were ftanding to the Northward, and that the fhip that came up with him was the Stirling Caftle. : QOur letters from Fort Prince George of the gih inft. meniion one fcalping party of fix Cherokees being gone out to war from Eftahtowih ; and that 30 fellows were going from the Middle Settlements on the fame defign. It is e)’cpe&ed,' on good grounds, that the fouthern parts of the North America continent will be very fpee- dily the theatre of fome interefting and long wifhed for events, . N E W.-Y OR K, Dec. 15. Our further Advices by the Exprefa are, that the Creeks and Shawanefe, join’d with the Cherokees, are fuppos’d to ‘make up their number 5 or 6300, feme fay 7 or 8000, who intend to lay fiege to Fort Prince George, and to deftroy all the Country before them. That the Regulars under theCommand of M¢jor Ham- ijlion (about 5 or 6co) were at Congarees, and that the Carolina Provincials amounted to abous 1500, That . A. MILN. - - ‘tho’ it might feem ftrange that the Proviace of Caroli- na could not raife a fufficient Force to repel fuch an Enemy, yet that in Fa&t it was fo,"near two thirds of the Inhsbitants being Negroes, who required a large Number of Whites to keep them in proper Subjecion. That the Indians had fully rebuiit their Towns and Houfes deftroy’d by Col. Mon:gomery and had fuffici- _ent fupplies of Corn and Provifions, (to which fome of our own People contiibuted) fo that they were ina Condition to carry onthe War, and in & Difpofition to do it with the utmoft Fury. That they greatly defpif- ed the Englifh, and treated their Threats with Con- tempt ; efpecially fince Col. Byrd with his Army, not- withftanding his Menaces, was fo far from being like- ly to moleft them, thatthey were retired, to winter in Au:zufta County. T e Indians refufed to accept ofthe Prifoners of their own Nation, in exchange for ours, with the greateft Difdsin. Laft Week srrived here the Captains Combes and Harris, from Rutfley Gug, in the Bsy of Chsleurs, on the Eaftward of the River St. Lawrence, having on board a Detachment of the 43d Regiment, under the Command of Msjor Ellior, who is not yet arrived, but hourly expeéted. B o.S N0 N, Dec. 22 Since our laft feveral Veflels have arrived here from Nova Scotis, having on bosrd a number of Officers and Soldiers, belonging to this Province, which have been in his Majefty’s fervice in the garrifon in thofe parts, and lately relieved by fome of his Majefty’s regular troops £ The other Provincisls who have been di charged there and at Louifbourg, are daily expected up.

Latt Saturday Evening arrived here the Jupiter Frigate, Capt. Bull from London :—He came out in company with Capt.
