We have the pleafure, to fhaf both the'e Gentlemen are in a fair way of notwithflanding the wound of the firft men rfC0 Xan of a very dangerous nature, a mufqutt ball EvM "dy his bod' TFortuneeand Convert had very narrow efcape, cMaf quite into this road by two of the enemy's batrTe (hips and a frigate, which wfre within a of cutting them off, and probably might eff'flcd it, ns it wns, had they conduced their neruvres properly.

Extrift of a letter from brigadier generaVTwigs, of fiate of Georgia, to the honourable major general Greene, daterj Augufla, December 16, I am happy to inform you that on the firft inftant received intelligence by two Creek Indians who came riewn to this place, of a number of traders and fndi snsgoinc: down to Savannah from the Cherrokee nation, with a great ivimber of horfes and a vaft number of deprlkins I immediately as many iriiitia (having been difchirged previous to the general election) as I poffibly could, and proceeded to intercept them. The whole of my force, when collected, codified of 72 officers and men. On the 3d, about daybreak, I "und them encamped in the fork of the Ahoo py, shout 30 miles from Ogechee. I formed the men for aftibn and commenced an attack, when affr a.ihort rrfiflatice they were overcome, with the lofs of twenty vfhite men killed, and about twenty Indians among the white men were fix principal traders. We took fevfn women, one boy and a child, befides 199 horfes, about 15,000 lb.

deerfkini and 1500 lb. beaver. A jnong the Indian prifoners is the daughter of the great warrior Occunnofiota. am led to believe this, action, will be attended with infinite good confequences to the fouthern ftates, as it will te means of Hopping all trade from that nation to Savannah, or any military ores being fent them for our deflruttioq. A little htforc I fet off upon this expedition, colonel M'Kay, fhom I had ordered down upon the enemy's lines, returned and gave me the following account of; his expedition That he had attacked a port of the enemy's at Mulberry Grove, about thirteen miles from! Savan nah, had killed fome and taken fome perfons of confluence prifoners, bo the great diflance he had to re turn before he could obtain any afliftance, in cafe he had been clofely purfued by the enemy, which he had very reafon to expert, he thought it proper to parole them." I Extraft of a letter from lieutenant colonel Jackfon, commanding a regiment of ftate troops, in the ftate of Georgia, to brigadier general Twiggs dated camp on Ogechee, November 5th, 17S1.

Agreeable to your order I marched from your camp at Briar Creek, having a detachment of one hundred and forty nvn, confiding of colonel M'Kay, and capt. Grant's volunteers, and a part of my intention of furprizin the poft of Britifh dragoons at Ogechee. On the 2d of November we arrived at the Ogechee fettlementa, and about two miles from our ebjeft, had the good fortune to take two prifoners, who informed us they had not difcovered our route or the diftance we were from them, but that they knew of our advance down the country. A council of officers were called, when on further information that the enemy's lagoon horfes were chiefly out, it was determined to attack them. We farther found they had been rein; forced by all the dragoon they could poffibly raifej ith abouf one hundred infantry divided into three parts, with the militia of the country, at near a mile diftant from each other; we advanced in three columns.

The dragoons of my own and captain Cacis, volunteer corps in the center, with colonel M'Kay's riflemen, and captain Grant's on the flanks, under the command of that colonel, orders were then given ta the dragoons to charge through the yard of the enemies Nation, and the riflemen to range on each fide the houfe, Jhich had a ftrong piaiza, and keep up a brifk fire, 0'jld the enemy take to the houfe, the dragoons charged through, and the enemy, as forefeen, took the Joufe, and actually furrendered, but unfortunately to refume their arms, owing to the falling of 'w brave captain Grant, who led one of the rifle and which broke on his death, and a rniftakeof orders in the ohcr, who took after the runaways in the Neighbouring fwamp finding ourfelves under the difa neceffityof quitting our that account, the neighbouring pofts, and apprehending the naif hief that might be done by the militia joined with the jcgulars in cafe of a retreat, it was refolved to route hich was accordingly done, killing eleven and Kmg five or fix prifoners. I then determined to re Vnt when my reconrioiteri ng parties returned' and pht intelligence the enemy were advanceing in a JJ'ivc the mod proper pofition our then cir would admit was" made the tnemy charg kj nd jouted our riflemen, our dragoons charged in "Und broke their coluroo, whea a fmart littlo ac tion enfned forabcot twnty minntcs, or fofs nas trifling 5 the enemy's lors was great. JPrivate accounts from Savannah acknowledge between thirty and forty killed, including the olficers and fix waggou loads of Efttraft of another letter from the fame quarter, dated February jo, iSs General Way nej with great addrefs and gallantry, has drove the erierriy all into Savannah. He lately dif perfed a large party of tories and Indians coming to Savannah, took twenty of the latter and about ninety horfes, and a confiderable quantity of (kins and furs."
