Full Description:
[Clinton] to Robinson. New York. By the loss of the 'Experiment' man of war taken by Count d'Estaing's squadron, we have lost £30,000 sterling which was sent in that ship for the subsistence of the troops and contingent expenses of the army in Georgia. It is some consolation however to think that the French and rebels have since paid dear for their late attempt on that brave garrison.
