EARLY yesterday morning the Right Hon. the EARL of DUNMORE, with his LADY and FAMILY, Capt. EDWARD FOY, and some of his Lordship's domesticks, left this city and are gone on board the Fowey man of war, lying at York town. His Lordship's reasons for this precipitate retreat are contained in the following message, which he left behind him, and was the same day communicated to the Hon. the House of Burgesses; reasons altogether founded upon the grossest misrepresentations his Lordship has received, this city and neighbourhood, nay the whole country, we may safely affirm, being in as orderly a state (unless training to arms be deemed a contrary behaviour, well known, however, to be a very necessary qualification, when danger threatens) as ever they have been, since the first settlement of the colony.

The Otter sloop of war, Capt. Morris [sic, Squire], is arrived in Hampton road, from Boston; we hear, to relieve his Majesty's ship Fowey.
