PG-P.781.018
11 Jul 1781:21, 22 (2665)
June 10. Sunday last arrived a cartel sloop from Pensacola.
We have been favoured with the following account of the
siege of that place. . . [mounted by Gen. Galvez] On the
26th the enemy's fleet came up and anchored a little below
the town, opposite to Sutton's Lagoon, where on the 28th
they landed their whole force, and from thence on the 30th
moved to Neil's meadows, about a mile and a half from Fort
George; here they were attacked by the Indians, who were
supported by the light troops and two field pieces under the
command of Capt. Johnstone, and driven from their post with
considerable loss on their side; among their killed was one
Colonel; the Indians brought 4 drums off the field and a
number of muskets. . . [Spanish eventually won.]
