 Hble depth in the foreft, where they neither could do 

 any material injury, nor be joined by negro deferters.

 dezvous at Barbacoeba, and the two iucceeding nights

N" 5. The latitude where the troops were joined by 

 the black corps or rangers. 



N* 6. The night's encampment previous to the en- 

 gagement.
