The enclosed return, which is a copy of the last state of the force under the order of Major General Greene, which has come to my hands, will give your Excellency every information in my power, respecting the state and condition of that army; which was to be augmented by the partisan corps of Colonel Armand, consisting of about two hundred horse and foot. Independent of those, there are two small regiments at Fort Pitt. One from the State of Pennsylvania, the other from Virginia, which are included in the general establishment of the army; but no particular return is here given of them. What measures are adopted by the States of Georgia and North and South Carolina, to recruit their battalions, I know not. Virginia marched about four hundred men the latter end of February for the southern army; and by an act of the legislature, passed at their last session, resolved to raise more; but in what forwardness they are, or what is to be expected from the act, I am equally uninformed. Maryland and Pennsylvania depend upon voluntary enlistments, and are proceeding very slowly in the business of recruiting. This, Sir, is an accurate state of the force we have at present, and my expectation of what it may be, independent of militia. The enemy's force, from the best information I have been able to obtain of it, may stand thus at New York; Rank and File. Regulars, including their established corps of Provincials, 9,000 Militia of the city, refugees, and independent companies, 4,000 Sailors and marines, according to the number of ships which may be in the harbor;--this being uncertain no number is given, Now in New York, 13,000 Charleston, about 3,300 Savannah, about 700 In Canada, including British, German, and established Provincials, 3,000 Penobscot, about 500 Halifax and its dependencies, uncertain, but say, 3,500 ------ In all, 26,000
