We have not been able to learn where Lord Dunmore intends fixing his residence; some say at Portsmouth, but we only mention it as a report.
All his Lordship's domesticks have now left the palace, and are gone, bag and baggage, to his farm at Porto Bello, about six miles from town.
Capt. Charles Scott, of Cumberland, is chosen commander of the troops now in this city. He served last war in the Virginia regiment with great reputation, and is an excellent woodsman.
Arrived in town, since our last, the Goochland, Louisa, Spotsylvania, Albemarle, King George, and Stafford volunteers; all hearty, clever fellows, and ready to take a crack with any ministerial troops that may be sent to molest us.
