Published in the Virginia Gazette on 21 June 1776.<ref> ''Virginia Gazette'' (Dixon & Hunter), 21 June 1776.</ref> A summary of recent news states that [[George Wythe]] has been reappointed to represent Virginia in the Continental Congress alongside [[Thomas Jefferson]], Thomas Nelson, Richard Henry Lee, and Francis Lightfoot Lee. <ref> ''Virginia Gazette'' (Dixon & Hunter), 21 June 1776.</ref>

<div align=center>
Williamsburg, December 6
</div>
LAST Monday an express arrived at head-quarters from general Lee, who lest his excellency the 6th instant, at Little river, on the road to Charlestown, with three battalions of the North Carolina troops, marching with all possible expedition to the assistance of that place; general Clinton, with upwards of 50 sail of men of war and transports, hanging appeared off their bar the Tuesday before, where they cast anchor. Two other North Carolina regiments, and col. Muhlenberg Virginia battalion, were like wife on their march for Charlestown; with whose assistance it is not doubted but our brethren in South Carolina will be able to defeat any attempts of their enemies, and, when under the conduct of so able and experience a commander, give them that chastisement which they are so richly entitled to.

By the same express, we learn that a sloop arrived at Charlestown the 25th ult. from St. Eustatia, with 10,000 wt. of gunpowder; the master of which informed, that a large vessel had arrived at that island from Holland, deep loaded with arms and ammunition. He also said, that all the French ports in the West Indies were now open to us, and that their ships of war have received orders to protect our vessels in and out of their harbours; that the French are fortifying Dunkirk, which produced a remonstrance from the British court, but without effect.

Yesterday the Hon. Convention made choice of the following gentlemen to represent this dominion in General Congress, for one year, viz. GEORGE WYTHE, THOMAS NELSON, jun. RICHARD HENRY LEE, THOMAS JEFFERSON, and FRANCIS LIGHTFOOT LEE, esquires.

This morning capt. James Barron came to town from Jamestown, with the agreeable news that he and his brother, in two small armed vessels, were safe arrived there, with the Oxford transport from Glasgow, having on board 217 Scotch Highlanders, with a number of women and children, which they took last Wednesday evening, on her way up to Gwyn's island, to join lord Dunmore. The people on board inform, that they are part of a body of 3000 troops which failed from Glasgow for Boston, but upon hearing that place was in our possession, they steered their course for Halifax; that they ha been taken by the Andrew Doria, one of the continental fleet, who, after disarming them, and taking out all the principal officers, with such of the transport's crew as were acquainted with navigation, put eight of their own hands on board to bring her into port, but that the carpenter of the transport formed a party and rescued the vessel from them, and was conducting her into Hampton road, when the two capt. Barrons very fortunately came across them, and moored them safe at Jamestown, where they are now disembarking, and are expected in town this day.

LAST Monday an express arrived at head-quarters from general Lee, who lest his excellency the 6th instant, at Little river, on the road to Charlestown, with three battalions of the North Carolina troops, marching with all possible expedition to the assistance of that place; general Clinton, with upwards of 50 sail of men of war and transports, hanging appeared off their bar the Tuesday before, where they cast anchor. Two other North Carolina regiments, and col. Muhlenberg Virginia battalion, were like wife on their march for Charlestown; with whose assistance it is not doubted but our brethren in South Carolina will be able to defeat any attempts of their enemies, and, when under the conduct of so able and experience a commander, give them that chastisement which they are so richly entitled to.

By the same express, we learn that a sloop arrived at Charlestown the 25th ult. from St. Eustatia, with 10,000 wt. of gunpowder; the master of which informed, that a large vessel had arrived at that island from Holland, deep loaded with arms and ammunition. He also said, that all the French ports in the West Indies were now open to us, and that their ships of war have received orders to protect our vessels in and out of their harbours; that the French are fortifying Dunkirk, which produced a remonstrance from the British court, but without effect.

Yesterday the Hon. Convention made choice of the following gentlemen to represent this dominion in General Congress, for one year, viz. GEORGE WYTHE, THOMAS NELSON, jun. RICHARD HENRY LEE, THOMAS JEFFERSON, and FRANCIS LIGHTFOOT LEE, esquires.

This morning capt. James Barron came to town from Jamestown, with the agreeable news that he and his brother, in two small armed vessels, were safe arrived there, with the Oxford transport from Glasgow, having on board 217 Scotch Highlanders, with a number of women and children, which they took last Wednesday evening, on her way up to Gwyn's island, to join lord Dunmore. The people on board inform, that they are part of a body of 3000 troops which failed from Glasgow for Boston, but upon hearing that place was in our possession, they steered their course for Halifax; that they ha been taken by the Andrew Doria, one of the continental fleet, who, after disarming them, and taking out all the principal officers, with such of the transport's crew as were acquainted with navigation, put eight of their own hands on board to bring her into port, but that the carpenter of the transport formed a party and rescued the vessel from them, and was conducting her into Hampton road, when the two capt. Barrons very fortunately came across them, and moored them safe at Jamestown, where they are now disembarking, and are expected in town this day.

Williamsburg, April 6

THE Duke of Cumberland packet arrived a few days ago, from Falmouth, with Government, dispatches for Lord Dunmore. It is said she left England the 23d of January, and brings advice, that Lord Cornwallis failed about the same time, with a number of transports, under convoy of twelve frigates; the place of their destination uncertain. The packet was at South Carolina, but found Lord William Campbell had left the province, and joined Governor Martin at Cape Fear. Some Gentlemen from below say, that soon after the arrival of this vessel they published a paper which was called a declaration of war against the colonies, and received it with loud acclamations.

Some prisoners, and sailors who had been pressed, lately made their escape from the fleet, and came to this city last Thursday, accompanied by a soldier of the 14th regiment, who deserted his post at Lord Dunmore's entrenchment.

It is reported, that Lord Dunmore has sent to England, in the Duke of Cumberland packet, which failed last Wednesday, four French Gentlemen, who were lately taken in a vessel bound here from Cape Nichola Mole, pretending he has found letters upon them which prove their business was to treat with the Congress.

On Monday last Edmund Randolph, Esq; was elected to represent this city in Convention, in the room of George Wythe , Esq; one of our Delegates at the Congress.

We are informed the Roebuck is stationed between cape Henlopen and cape May, the Liverpool between cape Henry and cape Charles, and tenders constantly failing from one ship to the other, looking out for the Philadelphia fleet, which is now expected to return to the continent. Should Admiral Hopkins meet with those ships and tenders, we hope he will give a good account of them. It has been a current report, for two days past, that the Roebuck is already taken.

The Ordinance of Convention directs a meeting of the Delegates on the first Monday in May annually, and it is expected there will be a full meeting, as matters of the greatest importance are to come under immediate consideration. It may not be amiss to refer all concerned, to the ordinance, for the form and time of returns .

Williamsburg, December 2nd
</div>
Last Wednesday night some of Dunmore's banditti, about 12, mostly Negroes, came ashore, and went to the house of Mr. Benjamin Wells, at Mulberry island; after threatening and abusing him in a most infamous manner, they robbed him of all his most valuable effects, and carried off two Negro women.

Nine Negroes (two of them women) who had been endeavouring to get to Norfolk in an open boat, and put ashore on Point Comfort, were fired upon by some persons in pursuit, taken, and brought here on Thursday; two of the fellows are wounded, and it is expected the rest will soon be made examples of.

Last Monday came on the election of a representative for this city in Convention, when GEORGE WYTHE , Esq; was unanimously chosen, in room of the late Hon. Peyton Randolph, Esq;

Capt.

<blockquote>
WILLIAMSBURG, ''August'' 18.<br/>
FROM unquestionable authority, we can assure the publick that forty tuns of GUNPOWDER have been lately imported into Philadelphia, six tuns and a half of which were sent to the continental camp, and one tun to Virginia; also, that the colonies may depend upon a constant supply of that very useful commodity, at this juncture.<br/>
Letters from the camp at Cambridge say, that his excellency general WASHINGTON, as well as general LEE, have been indefatigable, ever since their arrival, to put the army under the best regulation, which is now very strongly intrenched, remarkably healthy, being abundantly supplied with provisions, and that the most perfect harmony subsists between the officers and men. The ministerial camp is likewise strongly fortified, so that there was no likelihood of there being a general engagement soon.<br/> We congratulate the public on there being soon to be established, throughout the united colonies, a safe, speedy, and reasonable CHANNEL of INTELLIGENCE, upon constitutional principles, under the direction of that unshaken patriot, the celebrated doctor FRANKLIN, who is appointed sole postmaster-general by the Continental Congress.<br/>
Capt. Hill, from Boston, informs, that just before his departure a brig arrived there from Virginia, with pork and live stock, which was delivered to the king's contractor. The master (whose name he has forgot) is a slim man, about 5 feet 8 inches high, of a dark complexion, were his own dark hair, and light coloured sagathy clothes. The brig was about 100 tuns burthen, with yellow sides, came from James river (the captain believes from Norfolk) and was cleared out for Jamaica. Captain Hill asked the make the brig, if any of his hands had been pressed; who answered in the negative, for that the business they came upon was of such a nature as prevented it.<br/>
THOMAS NELSON, THOMAS JEFFERSON, GEORGE WYTHE, and FRANCIS LIGHTFOOT LEE, esquires, are chosen delegates to represent this colony in General Congress, on the 5th of next month, in the room of his excellency general WASHINGTON commander in chief of the continental army, PATRICK HENRY, esq; appointed to the command of the troops to be raised for the defence of this colony, and EDMUND PENDLETON and RICHARD BLAND esquires, who have resigned, upon account of their infirm state of health.<br/>
WILLIAM WOODFORD esq; of Caroline county, is appointed by the Hon. The General Convention colonel of the second battalion of troops to be raised for the defence of this colony; and capt. JOSEPH NEAVILL of Hampshire, is appointed commander of the troops to be stationed at Fort Pitt.<br/>
