Paris, May 7, 1779.
M. De la Mothe Piquet, Sailed the 1st of this Month
with the Squadron, having on board six Battalions, but their destination is kept a profound secret,
Gibralter, May 13. On the 20th of
March all the Blacks in the Garrison
of Tangier rose, and having made
themselves Masters of the different
Forts, cut off the Head and Feet of
the Commander, because he refused
to deliver up those Posts to them.—
Being then reinforced by some Whites
whom they compelled to join them,
they caused publication to be mad,
that no person should pay any Taxes,
set free the Prisoners, and committed
other disorders. The Alcades, Ben
Abdimelick and Chex, Commissioned for maintaining tranquility among
the Blacks, having approached the
Gates which were shut, the Mutineers
sallied out and firing upon them, obliged them to fly on full Gallop towards Arcila. The Blacks then pillaged the Houses of those Alcades, in
the Dwelling of the former of whom
they found three thousand Crowns,
with Jewels and other effects. At
last, dreading the chastisement due to
their excesses, they implored the intercession of the Cadi with the King,
that that Judge ordering 150 of the
principal Mutineers to be seized, every thing soon became quiet.

Extract from the Morning Chronicle
of May 19.
Savannah, March 15. 1779.
"My Dear Jack,
"Duty requiring my attendance
at the advanced post when Col. Campbell quit it to the general winter of a
little army, sailed for England I am
now forced to send this to the care of
our friend at New-York, to be
forwarded from thence, and though
I doubt not Gen. Prevost's dispatches will fully inform you of our operations since my last long ere this shall
reach you; yet I venerate too much my
promise to you at parting to take any
opportunity of breaking the chain of
our correspondence.
"The particulars of the affair at
Beaufort are so minutely, and I will
do them the justice to say, for once,
so fairly stated in the rebel account of
that matter, that I will not trouble
you by recapitulating them. I cannot,
however, be silent on our late scramble, in which your old friends the
Bobbs*, had so large a share.
"The force which had proceeded
to Augusta under Col. Campbell being called back, and our advance for
the line established at Hudson's, that
body of the Rebels which had been
immediately opposed to this party,
presuming upon this circumstance, or
more probably with a view of Hampering us in our quarters, crossed the
Savannah, near Augusta, and moving cautiously down its Southern
Banks about the 29th ult. took post
on the East side of Bryar-creek Bridge
where it forms an angle with the great
River. As they began immediately
to repair the Bridge, it was imagined
they designed to cross the Creek, and
attempt the post at Hudson. This
being just what we wished, no interruption was offered them; nay, some
steps were taken to allure them forward, and as I believe it was apprehended that some co-operation with
Lincoln's Army would take place, it
was resolved to dislodge them, ere
they should have time to concert measures for any joint enterprize. Their
position being secured beyond attack
in front, nothing remained but by a
forced march to gain their rear; and
however the probability that they
would be apprized of any movement
of this sort time enough to render our
scheme abortive, if not perhaps be led
to seize the opportunity of the absence
of the force necessary for the undertaking to attack our small Posts upon
the River, might (in strict Military
* A familiar name for the Light
Infantry.
prudence) deter us from the attempt.
yet on the evening of the 1st inst, int
every thing was proposed for an immediate march, and though it may
seem strange that after performing a
detour of 50 Miles through a Country entirely in the power, if not in
the interest of the enemy, besides having the unavoidable interruption of
throwing a temporary Bridge over a
deep and rapid Creek, to impede a
quick advance of the Troops, we
should ultimately surprize them in
their Camp, such is the fact; and
serves to strengthen an observation
which you and I often have made,
that a General to succeed against the
Americans, need never lay his Plans
upon formal systematic Military principles; he will in fact find such impossible in the execution, though it
may seem a solecism very often counteracted by their very defects. You
will excuse this degression. I now
proceed to what I proposed in the first
part of my letter.
"About dark the Light Infantry
moved from their Ground at Hudson's,
and taking their route by the upper
Road, arrived without any interruption at New Bridge (which the Rebels
had some time before burnt down) the
1st Battalion of the 71st Regiment
having priviously advanced towards
the Bridge at Bryar Creek, took a
position at Butler's Creek to mask
the operations of the main body.—
Col. Prevost before day break on the
Morning of the 2d, marched with the
2d Bat. of the 71st, some Companies
of Florida Grenadiers, and a number
of Irregulars, with three Day's Provisions, and on the night of the 2d
joined the Light Infantry just as they
had rafted over the Creek, and established themselves on the opposite
banks. They were instantly put in
motion, and taking a position in the
rear of the Rebels, to prevent their
escaping by the road to Augusta, remained there till the morning of the
3d, when they were joined by the rest
of the troops. The whole resumed
their march without meeting any opposition, or seeing so much as a single
Patrole. About 4 in the Afternoon
our advanced Guards found themselves close in with the Rebel Piquets
whom they immediately drove, taking
some Prisoners. The troops were instantly formed. On the right the Light

infantry under Sir James Biard; the
2nd Battalion of the 71st, under
Hon. Col. Maitland, composed
the left and center; the grenadiers
and some cavalry were formed in the
rear, at some distance, in file of re-
serve, or second line. On the part
of the rebels, General Elbert hastily
made a disposition on their left of the
few continental troops they had with
them, (the broken remains of the
Georgia brigade) and with a pretty
good countenance moved forward to
attack the light infantry, who were
then advancing, and give time to the
rest of their troops to form behind.
Sir James Baird then ordering
his battalion of about 300 light infan-
try to charge briskly with the bayonet,
their body was quickly routed, and
thrown in the utmost confusion upon
those in the rear: at this moment
Colonel Maitland making a rapid
move of the 71st, compleated the rout
of this wing, and every future act of
resistance was performed by indivi-
duals, rather in a state of desperation,
than with any settled resolution of of-
fence. The greater part betook them-
selves to a morass, through which it
was not deemed prudent to allow our
people to pursue.
Mean time their right wing find-
ing that from the contraction of our
front it did not extend fully along their
front, instantly filed off by our left,
and by that means a considerable
body, with their Generals Ash, and
Boryen, escaped untouched to a ferry
in our rear, over which they were
transported in a flat chap (as we have
since understood about to be employed
in bringing them some artillery. Col.
Maitland having originally placed him-
self at the head of the reserve, the ear-
ly flight of the rebels did not give him
an opportunity of coming with that
body into action.
Their strength I cannot ascertain
with any precision, they were called
(and indeed their commissioner of
provisions (now our prisoner) says
so) Our whole force did not ex-
ceed 1000, of which only the light in-
fantry were, properly speaking, en-
gaged.
The number killed upon the field
was not very many, though I think
the loss in the morass and in swim-
ming the river must be considerable,
and I presume those who were fortun-
ate to escape this way, will make the
best of their way home, without de-
manding a formal leave.
One brass piece of cannon, and
three iron swivels moved upon field
carriages, with a number of colours,
fell into our hands; one of the last
is a fine one, now flies in the company
of our battalion, which Sir James, in
his way, calls his bloody flag.
I need not tell you that he fully
supported his former character upon
this occasion; his activity had how-
ever like to have proved fatal to him,
having by speed of feet come up with
a fellow who was by long strides get-
ting off before us, he required him to
surrender, but the villian turning
short round, presented his piece full
in his face, which Sir James fortun-
ately turned aside with his hand, and
it went off without doing him any
other damage than burning the hair
of one side of his head."
Extract of a letter from an officer on
board the Jupiter man of war, of
50 guns, commanded by Capt.
Reynolds.
"On Sunday, April 4, we set sail
from Plymouth Sound to cruize in
the Bay Biscay; and to watch the
motions of the French fleet) with a
fresh gale at N. E.
"On Tuesday we saw a sail to
windward, about thirty leagues from
Ushant, hoisting English colours; but
we suspecting there was something in
the wind, cut and cleared away for
action. At half past one, A. M.
came up to her, when she hailed us,
hoisted French colours, and ordered
us to strike; but we, like bold heroes
that would either, conquer or die,
gave them a broadside which they re-
turned very smart, being a 74 gun ship,
(the Le Don) and 890 men. At three,
A. M. a very smart engagement be-
gan, in which we played our part very
well, for we killed and wounded her
495 men, and they killed and wound-
ed 69 men: but for all that we fought
bravely, and I don't doubt but we
should have taken her, but fortune
was not on our side; for at six o'clock,
A. M. we saw another sail bearing
down upon us, which proved to be
the La Die Maria, of 74 guns, and
940 men, who gave us a most dread-
ful broadside, which killed us several
men, and wounded Captain Reynolds
in three places; but for all that he
kept his ground, and the officers like-
wise behaved manfully; but both ships
firing upon us, and we not having any
more ammunition left, nor men to
stand to the guns, were obliged to
strike, after five hours engagement,
in which we lost both killed and
wounded 123 men, and our hull and
rigging were shot all to pieces. Their
ships were mauled most terribly, for
we got a-stern of them, and raked them
fore and aft, they not being able to
bring their guns to bear upon us.
The Le Don had her main and mizen
masts shot away, and the Maria was
very much battered. The Le Don
had 320 killed, and 75 wounded;
and the Maria had 75 killed, and 121
wounded. They have carried us into
Brest, where they make us work at
Ship-building, &c. but we are treated
with much humanity, and our sick
are taken a great deal of care of. Our
Capt. is in a fair way of recovery,
though he received eight Wounds in
different parts of the Body."
CALCUTTA.
On Wednesday Evening arrived in

Extract of a Letter from the Malabar
Coast; Jan. 23, 1780.
"There is a small French Snow,
at Goa, that came from Mabratas a-
bout three Months ago, part of her
Crew in a Boat took the Mahmudy
Savoy, Antone Perez, Master; the
16th of Dec. in Mangalore Road and
carried her to Goa: this Vessell passed
Anjengo in March last from Achain,
I hear the French are fitting out the
Snow and Mahmudy Savoy, perhaps
to cruize. I request you will mention
this circumstance to all English Ves-
sels bound up the Coast.
The affairs at Tellicherry are just
in the same situation as when I last
wrote you, Capt. Macleod, who was
so dangerously wounded, is said to be
in a fair way of recovery."
On the 21st arrived here, his Ma-
jesty's Ship. Sertain, with dispatches
from the Admiral at Madras.
The Proprietor, begs leave to in-
form the Public, that he has been o-
bliged to omit the Insertion of several
things for want of room, but they
shall have a place in our next. He
also returns thanks to his Correspon-
dents for their friendly Intelligences,
and hopes to be honoured with their
future favours.
MARRIED. Last Saturday, at Cos-
imbuzar, the Hon. David Anstruther,

plishments.
DIED. On Thursday last, George
Hurst, Esq;
*_* Mr. AURIOL, presents his
Compliments to the Ladies and Gen-
tlemen who intend to honour him

Gardens on Tuesday evening, and
requests that they will be pleased to
order their Coachmen to drive on the
left Hand side of the Tank, in their
way up to the House, and return on
the opposite side to a stand appointed
without the Garden; otherwise he
fears there will be much confusion a-
mong the Horses at the time of the
Fire-works, and a want of Room for
the Carriages. Mr. AURIOL also
begs the favour of the Ladies and
Gentlemen to take only one Servant
each, and to furnish such Servant with
a Card or Ticket, in order to gain
him admittance. Feb. 26, 1780,
*_* Lost at the Masquerade last
Night, an Opera Fan; whoever will
bring it to Mr, John Ferguson's shall
be handsomely rewarded. Feb. 26.

POET's CORNER.
For the CALCUTTA GAZETTE.
(Intended for the last Paper)
To the Author of the Lines addressed to a Gentleman, overset with a young Lady, &c.
WHEN a flam you intend for the Press,
Beware how the subject you strain;
For believe me it cannot do less,
Then bitterly aggravate pain.
If Chloe' in falling was bruiz'd!
If Phaeton stuck in the mire!
Say how cou'd these two be amus'd,
With all your Poetical fire?
Let gentleness then be the way,
The anguish of Chloe' to sooth;
Make neither to satire a prey,
But say that the roads were unsmooth.
Now Phaeton the reins doth resign,
And Venus succeeds to his seat;
The glad Steeds shall own her divine,
And draw like her Doves, safe and fleet. Z. A.
W A N T E D.
