Mr. James Caldwell is returned, [Henry] Bellew treated him well, and sent him off to return a man in his place as soon as possible. He informs, that the men of war are well supplied with stock by the tories at Indian River, the Liverpool having all her coops and sheep pens full; that four or five of those tories were on board at the time he was there; that the Liverpool, Orpheus and Kingfisher had been on a cruize for some days, and brought in with them two ships; one of which is the Staffolk Indiaman; they are last from Antigua, and go to New York under convoy of the Liverpool, and may possibly be arrived, as they intended sailing on Sunday last. Col. Mill's [Samuel Miles] battalion arrived at Dover last Monday, and next day intended to visit the Sussex tories; so we hourly expect some account of them. John James, pilot, who was taken on board Mr. Mifflin's vessel, made his escape from the Roebuck by swimming two miles; he was on board the time of the action with the gondolas, and says, that the Roebuck had one man killed, and several wounded; one of her guns dismounted, and hulled in seven places. He says Lord Dunmore loses nine or ten of his black regiment every day by the small pox, &c.
