{"value"=>"The purposed evacuation of this town is made public, and will take place as soon as a fleet can be sent from New York; the appearance of a French fleet on the coast will probably cause delay; urges the return of the transports sent from Savannah; the enclosed extract from the log-book of a captured American privateer shows that on Aug. 1 she fell in with a French fleet of twelve sail of the line; the master said that they gave him no information except that they were cruising; they steered towards New York, and he judged them to be from the West Indies.
