November 18th.—I went on command to Mud Island. I got two 18-prs. mounted on our new battery. Two 32-prs. are to be put on this battery also. The rebel vessels, except the galleys, are moved from Red Bank and gone near to Gloucester Point. The galleys this afternoon were in motion; we expected theni down to the fort. The reinforcements from New York are landed on the Jersey's, and have been joined by a large detachment from our army; their intention is to invest Red Bank; Lord Cornwallis commands.
