THE EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT, Scotland, Jan.22, 1780  Pg. 2 has some reports concerning the Revolutionary War which include: "...he (D'Estaing) steered for the coast of the continent of America...at anchor before the mouth of the Savannah...to undertake the siege of Savannah with the troops he had onboard his ship which were joined by 2000 men from the United States of North America under the command of Gen. Lincoln..." and "The total of the troops of the besiegers...amounted to 5524 men...the 15th of September the English general was summoned to surrender the place & on his refusal the siege was begun...the impossibility of continuing a siege in form against superior forces decided the Count D'Estaing to order the attack on the entrenchments the 9th of October...French & American troops attacked with the greatest vigour...". And a pg. 3 report notes: "accounts in town of a late date from Georgia mentioning that upwards of 20,000 men, women & children have come to reside in that province from the Carolinas since D'Estaing's defeat; and all of them that are of age have taken the oaths with the greatest cheerfulness." A brief yet intriguing item on pg. 3 reads: "A report is current at Paris that General Washington died at Philadelphia the 27th of November." Complete in 4 pgs., light water staining in the bottom quadrant, some rubbing to the ftpg., mostly good.
