Arrive! yesterday, in 10 days from Oye^

before his arrival here, in the month of the
St. Laurence, he spoke a brig in the night,
supposed to be the Earl of Moira. They
hailed and informed of their having fpeke
a brig the day before from Newfoundland,
bound to Quebec, which gave them infor
mation that the French h^d taken Si. Johns.
We do not credit this report, but think it
probable the information given b, the brig
was merely designed to convey intelligence of
the French fleet being at New found land,a nd
to put them on their gu^rd, as they had in
formed them they were bound there*
