Williamsburg, November 8.
By the last South Carolina gazette, we learn, that General [Robert] Howe and the brave Col. Moultrie were just returned to Charlestown, from Georgia, and that there had been two skirmishes to the southward, in both of which our people were successful, but no particulars are mentioned; that a French sloop, with a valuable cargo of warlike stores, linens, wine, molasses, &c. were also arrived from Martinico.
Arrived, in York river, the sloop Jane, Booker; schooner Success, Hill, and schooner Rambler, Buffington, all from St. Eustatia, with 800 casks of gunpowder, considerable cargoes of salt, cordage, and dry goods.
