General Pigot having received information that the Rebels intend shortly to carry off all the Stock from the Elisabeth Islands, has determined to send a detachment there immediately, and endeavor to be beforehand with them; and for this purpose the Flank Companies of the 54^th Regiment, and a Company of The Hessian Chasseurs have received orders to be in readiness to embark on the shortest notice. Two transports are ordered for the reception of the Detachment which consists of about 200 men, and they are to be convoyed by a Frigate from hence, which, with the Unicorn frigate¹ now there, is to cover them.
