{"value"=>"No change has taken place as to this post or the armies under Greene and Wayne; Sir Guy Carleton ordered the evacuation of Savannah; the fleet for that purpose touched here and reached Tybee on the 1st inst.; he expects them off this bar by the 14th; they will then proceed without delay to New York; the evacuation of St. Augustine was countermanded; the strength of East Florida may be increased by a number of loyalists taking refuge there; he has avoided encounters with the enemy; sickness begins to affect the troops, and the line of defence must be contracted; Maj. Gen. Gould will deliver this, his ill health obliging him to return to England. Copy. Endorsed."}
