" Is not this a cursed country to make war in ?" writes the Waldeck chaplain, " where the greater part of a corps may be prisoners for five weeks, SAVANNAH, CHARLESTON, AND FENSACOLA. 253 and twelve hundred miles of country taken by the enemy, and the commanding-general not know it with certainty." In March, 1780, a part of the garrison of Pensacola marched to the relief of Mobile, but arrived too late to save the latter place. Soon after the return of the troops to Pensacola, a Spanish fleet o...f twenty-one sail was seen off the harbor, but three days afterwards it disappeared again. The Spaniards held the country as far as the Pertido River, and once, crossed it in April, but were driven back by the Indians. The latter, however, were but unruly auxiliaries. The re- mainder of the year 1780 passed without any impor- tant occurrence in Florida. Early in January, 1 781, Colonel von Hanxleden, with one hundred and fifteen white men and three hundred Choctaws, made an expedition against French Village.
