Full Description:
Brigadier-General Archibald McArthur to Carleton. St Augustine. Discussion includes a report about a party of Creeks escorting the Commissary and some traders from their nation, Mr McDonald's (Commissary for the Upper Creeks) intelligence that Colonel Christie and Colonel Shelvy are marching with a considerable force of men from Powell's Valley and Holdstein against the Shawnees and Delawares to the northwards, and of their expectation of being reinforced by rebels from Canetuck. That not a Creek Indian attended the Congress at Augusta, and that the gentlemen who went to Providence to view lands having not yet returned. Two ships with refugees for England will sail next Monday, and the ship for Jamaica sailed ten days ago. A young man named Maxwell (who was 'known here') was murdered in his house near Savannah, Georgia, for no other offence than being a Tory.
