Our most implacable enemy, Lord Dunmore, to his great grief and disappointment, through the intrepidity of our troops, has been obliged to retire to the shipping; with many of the inhabitants of Norfolk, and some Negroes. His diabolical scheme (which will perpetually disgrace him) being frustrated, and finding all attempts in vain to accomplish his designs, our troops. were suffered to enter the town without opposition from the men of war. In a message to Col. Woodford, his Lordship assured him, that if his Majesty's ships should not be fired upon by those under his command, no injury would be offered to the town; and it seems, by this appearance of a peaceable disposition on the part of his Lordship, as if he thought the riflemen were rather too near him!
We have just heard that Capt. Barron, with a party of men, yesterday took a tender with several slaves on board; she was in pursuit of a vessel just arrived with salt, which Capt. Barron also took possession of, and carried both safe to Hampton.
The Liverpool frigate, of 36 guns, is said to be arrived, in order to take Governor Dunmore to England.
