Postscript.

Narrative of Capt. Gregory Cozens, of the George Brigantine, a Rebel Vessel, brought into Clyde by the Ship's Crew, as taken from his own Mouth, by a Gentlemen who was on Board at the Ship's Arrival in Port Glasgow, April 21, 1777.

We sailed from Charlestown, in South Carolina, the 24th of February last, bound to Bourdeaux in France, having on board 319 whole and 85 half barrels of rice, and 19 teirces of indigo.

The day before we sailed, the Comet, Capt. Allan [Edward Allen], an American privateer, sent in under Fort Mutrie [Moultrie], in Sullivan's Island, a ship and a snow from the Bay of Honduras, the ship said to belong to Glasgow. Fort Mutrie is now strongly fortified, there having been 500 negroes constantly employed in working at it, from the time that Sir Peter Parker's fleet left Charlestown.

A brigantine from Nantz, in France, arrived three days before we sailed, with clothing and other dry goods, and brought in with her one of the transport ships from London, Combs, master.

French vessels are coming and going every day, in particular one arrived about a month before we sailed, having on board from Martinico, upwards of twenty tons gunpowder, the Dutch have a great trade from Curacoa and St. Eustatia to Charlestown. The Spaniards do not interfere.

A great deal of rice was upon hand when we sailed, last crop having been very good, but indigo was scarce, owing to the great export of that article for some months before.

All sorts of European articles were very dear in Charlestown, though not scarce: the people were all peaceable, and minding little else but trade and cultivating the ground, being resolved to act only upon the defensive.

Trade was never known to be brisker at Charlestown than when we sailed, and it was said the Congress had called in a number of their privateers, in order to man the merchant ships.

A Bermudian sloop was ready to sail for France, loaded with rice and indigo, and a brigantine was to sail about a fortnight after us, one Steel master, for Nantz, with a valuable cargo of rice and indigo, particularly the latter, said to be upwards of 2000 I. sterling.

On Sunday the 16th of March, being then in latitude 44. 10, and longitude 27. 20, the crew took possession of the vessel from me: she was formerly called the May, belonging to Liverpool, and was taken off St. Eustatia, bound for Jamaica, with provisions; 200 barrels beef, and 100 firkins butter: the rest of the cargo had been landed at Dominica.

A ship, formerly the Savanna, Fraser, from Piscataqua, is sent into Antigua by the Portland man of war; and the Little John,———; from Mississippi to the Leeward Islands, is retaken and sent into Antigua.

The Percy, Rogerson, from Cork for New York, and the Renfrew, Somerville, from London, are both taken by the Rebels.

On Sunday night the Elizabeth, Capt. Toone, arrived in the Downs; his dispatches were immediately sent to Lord George Germaine's Office, and we hear contain the following interesting particulars:

That the popular Mr. Dickenson, (who wrote the Farmers Letters in favour of the Americans) from the ill treatment he has received from the Congress, has declared for the King, and brought over 5000 of the inhabitants on the banks of the Delaware, and being joined by a corps of 600 marines, from the men of war in that river, had cut off a numerous body of the rebels, and had prevented a great quantity of provisions from being sent to General Washington.

Capt. Toone has also brought advice, that the Phoenix man of war has sunk and destrroyed 24 sail of Provincial ships in the river Delaware, not having men on board sufficient to secure them as prizes.
