Sir:
By what we learn from a vessel brought in here yesterday, it no longer remains a doubt but that the Enemy mean soon to invade this State. The latter end of Decem. a large fleet, wt. a number of Troops on board, (some say 10,000,) left the Hook, conveyed by nine ships of war, six of them of the line, destined for Savannah, from which place we may expect them here. Your early arrival would add much to our safety, and is an event most ardently wished for. I, therefore, must entreat you to march the Troops under your command with all possible dispatch to this place.
