It is said the enemy in East Florida have got a considerable fresh supply of live cattle, by plundering our defenceless inhabitants on the frontiers; but there is reason to expect they will suffer in their turn.
A skirmish lately happened between a party of them and some Georgia rangers, in which each lost two men: Some Creek Indians were with them, but on being called to by a Half-breed in our party, surrendered themselves. They were well treated, and have since been sent to their own nation in a quite different humour.
