Description
The heavy ordnance at this place has been embarked for Halifax, together with a number of refugees; the latter are to receive six months provisions; as their number is not considerable, they can be supplied from the stores in Paterson's command: those who served in the militia have been paid to Dec. 31; they are in care of Col. Campbell, who lost a considerable property in North Carolina from his attachment to the British cause; Maj. Robertson and the companies of the 82d that served in this district have been ordered to join the regiment. Copy. Endorsed.
