Malcolm, M'Guire, and Johnson, 3 deserters from the 2d regiment of this State,1 taken on board the Tonyn's Revenge privateer from St. Augustine,2 having been tried, and received sentence of death, the first has been shot, and the two others reprieved.
The further proceeding in the expedition from Georgia into East Florida is suspended; as there is little to fear from the incursions of the enemy in that quarter, since they have destroyed and abandoned Fort Tonyn on St. Mary's River, which they quitted so precipitately, as to leave all their baggage behind, hidden in different places, to fall into the hands of our troops.3
