{"value"=>"Is anxiously looking for the arrival of the 30th regiment, of which Gen. Leslie had written; has heard that with two others it had been ordered to Jamaica, which he cannot believe: congratulates him on the important victory of Sir George Rodney over Count de Grasse, the particulars of which are published in the Savannah Gazette; this may give a turn to affairs in Carolina and Georgia, as it will not be necessary to send troops to Jamaica; has heard that 18 sail of the British fleet had gone there, and that martial law would soon cease; believes the French fleet is disabled for months; hopes troops will be sent to dislodge Gen. Wayne's army, which would be of great service to his Majesty's cause."}
