Lord Dunmore reviewed his 60 body-guardsmen, lately arrived from St. Augustine, last Tuesday, [August 1] at Gosport and we hear, that he daily expects an additional reinforcement, of 40 more soldiers, from the same place. His Lord-ship it is said, as soon as they arrive, and when joined by the marines from the Mercury and Otter men of war, and a number of other select friends in different places, intends corning round to York town; from whence, if not prevented, it is likely he will pay US a visit in this city, although he cannot expect the same cordial reception as on former occasions, but will probably be received with such illuminations, &c. as may make him forget his way to the palace. The good people of Virginia now consider Lord Dunmore as their mortal enemy, and will no longer brook the many gross insults they have received from him, which are daily repeated; and the damn'd shirtmen, as they are emphatically called by some of his minions, it is more than probable, will make some rue, before long, their ill-timed, base, and ungenerous conduct.
The men of war's officers, we are credibly informed, have been guilty of many outrages, both at Norfolk and Portsmouth; which ungenteel behaviour lately exposed one of them to the resentment of a certain mr. O'Shields, who drubbed him handsomely.
