REMARKS CONCERNING THE FALL OF

Nation (including the Check received at
Montmorency Falls), about 1,300 Veterans ;
and the Operations lafted 49 Days.

The Siege oi C hat^ lejiown â– a.nA the Conqueft
of the Rebellion in South Carolina coft their
Excellencies, General Sir Henry Clinton
and Vice Admiral Arbuthnot, no more than
76 Officers and Privates killed, and 189
wounded ; add to which that of the Royal

Navy, 14 Seamen killed, and 15 wounded.
The Siege lafted forty-two Days, and all
the Operations wer^ conducted with that
Harmony and Ardour which ever diftin-
guifhed the moll confummate Captains in
ancient and modern Hiftory.

" His Majefty's Birth Day was celebrated
at Charleftown with ail the Demonftrations

the Chimes began at lix O'clock in the
Morning to play 'GOD SAVE THE

a royal Salute was fired from the Ships and

that they have been abominably cozened
by the Latter, who were in Practice of
coming to Charleftown with their Veflels
in Balaft, and lading them with Indigo,
Tobacco, and Rice, for their Paper Dollars,
which have been fo long of very ^little
Value, but are now of no Value ; fo that
the Charadter of a D — 1, or a New Eng-

by the fivift Packet Nichols, from New

"My laft Difpatch, No. 83, will have
informed your Lordlhip, that the Admiral
and I only wanted pofitive Information

concerning Count D'Eftaing's Fleet, to put
to Sea. Intelligence of their having quit-
ted the Coaft, arrived late in December,
and the Troops having been fome Time
embarked, the Admiral was enabled to Sail
the 26th.

" I will trouble your Lordfhip with no
other Particulars of a very tedious Voyage,
in uncommon bad Weather, than to men-
tion : that in our Loifes of Tranfports, the
Lives of the Crews have been faved ; that
only one Ship is milling, having on board a
Detachment of Hellians, and fuppofed to
have borne away for the Weft Indies; but
that we have to regret the total Lofs of
an Ordnance Ship, which foundered at

the Banks of Afhley River.

" My Intention is, to pafs to the Neck.
of Charleflown, as foon as poffible. The
Enemy, I find, have collefted their whole
Force to that Place. This is laid not to
exceed 5,000 Men at Prefent, but Rein-
forcements are daily expefted. In the mean
Time, as the Rebels have made the De-
fence of Charleflown their principal Objedt,
I have determined on my Part, to alfemble
in greater Strength before it ; and with
this View, have called immediately to this
Army, a Corps I had left in Georgia. They
will pafs the Savannah River, and join me
by Land.

" The Force afloat at Charleflown, is
four Rebel and one French Frigate, with
an old Gun Ship, and fome Brigs and Gal-
lies.

"Although our long Voyage, and una-
voidable Delays fince, have given the Re-
bels Time to fortify Charleflown towards

groes has greatly facihtated, yet, confiding
in the Merit of the Troops I have the
Honour to command, in the great Affift-
ance I have from Earl Cornwallis, and the
further Co-operation of the Navy, I enter-
tain great Hopes of Succefs.

" I cannot clofe my Letter without ex-
preffing how much I am obliged hitherto
to Admiral Arbuthnot, for the Affiftance
given me through Capt. Elphinftone, who
as yet has been chiefly employed in the
naval Tranfadlions immediately relative to
the Army. This Gentleman's unremitted
Attention to us, from his fo ably and fuc-
cefsfully conducting the Tranfports into
North Edifto, to this Hour, with the great
Benefit I have derived from his Knowledge
of the inland Navigation of this Part of
the Coaft, merit my warmeft Thanks.

NEWS OF THE FALL OF CHARLESTON BY THE
IRIS QUESTIONED.

[From Rivington's Royal Gazette, No. 392, July 1, 1780,]

THTL following Paragraphs are copied
from the Independent Chronicle,
dated^o^on, June 8, 1780.
" The Britons are known to out do all
the World in fabricating political News
that can only anfwer the Purpofe of a Day.
RIVINGTON, publiOier of a New York
Paper, has proved himfelf an Adept thro'
the Courfe of the War in this Kind of
Manufa6ture. The following Account of
the taking of Charleftown (for the Truth



196 Siege of Charlejion.

of which there is not a fingle Name, either
of Officer or Private to vouch), rells upon
the Authority of this notable IntelHgencer.
"There are too many Improbabilities in
the Account itfelf to be particularly men-
tioned, but which the difcerning Reader
will eafily difcover. Befides which, there
are feveral Letters in Town, from the beft
Authority, affuring us that official Accounts
have been received at Congrefs, and at
Head-Quarters, that Charleftown was fafe
on the loth of May; two Days after RI-
VINGTON tells us Fort Moultrie furren-
dered to a Handful of Men. Thefe Ac-
counts add, that our brave General and his
Forces were in Health and the beft Spirits,
and determined to defend the Place to the
laft Extremity. But we think it proper
that our Readers ffiould judge for them-
felves and hear RIVINGTON tell his own
Story, brought, as he fays, by the Iris, to
New York, tho' there is good Ground to
believe that the Iris did not come from
Charleftown from other Circumftances be-

fides her not bringing a iingle official
Paper."

\After this Paragraph, the dubious Nathan
Willis, inferted in his Chronicle, the Parti-
culars as pub liflie din]. Rivington's Gazette,
and to refute the whole, adds the following
Paragraph : ]

"The Poft that arrived laft Evening in-
forms that two Gentlemen from Long
Illand brought politive Accounts that all
was well at Charleftown on the i8th of
May."

l|^g=^ To verify the AJfertions quejiioned by
this incredulous Boflonian, our Printer quotes
the Difpatches publijhed at Philadelphia by
Congrefs, announcing the Surrender of Charlef-
town, with 7 or 8,000 Land and Sea Forces,
the Continental Navy, and other Shipping in
the Harbour, all the neighbouring Fortif ca-
tions, including the boajled Fort Moultrie, with
