North Carolina, the 15th of March last.
The Fleet of Merchantmen failed from Ja
maica on the 16th, 17th and t&h Days of
"March, under Convoy of five Ships of the Line,
through the Windward Paffagc, the whole
amounted to about 100 Sail.
We learn there are several flout Privateers
now fitting out in the Eastern Port 6, which we
hear are intended to intercept the Fleet from
England bound to (Quebec, &c. &c. as they,
did some Time ago; but we hope that they
will be disappointed, as we male ho doybt
whatever VeiTels may come put, will have a
proper Convoy.
The following Vessels have been taken and
carried into New-London since the Bth Ine —
Sloop Sophia, Wifeham; and Brig jenny,
Robinson, from Jamaica; Brig Three Sifters,'
Brown, from St. Kitts, by the Privateer Brig
Deane, Capt. Scofield. Schooner Seaflower, 4
Dunn, for' Qi^ck; Brig Admiral Rodney,
Holliday; and Brig Bermuda, Hunter, from
Jamaica, by the Privateer Sloop Lively, Capt.
Latham, who used his Prisoners like a Gentle
man ; but we are told thole taken by the Deane
experienced the revpifc Treatment; c
A Schooner landing in for Sand;-Hook last
Friday Evening, was bearded by two Pilots
in a row Boat, e^peding the Vessel wanted a
Pilot; but they were both made Prifohers;?
however they were well treated, and soon fix
ct Liberty' The Schooner belonged to New-
London, and soon expeded to be j ined by.
several others.
In the Virginia formerly the Aurora, came

By the Schooner Peggy, prize to the Virgi
nia, was intercepted a letter from a merchant
at Cape Francois, to his correspondent in Bof
ton, giving the latter information of a Treaty
of Alliance being absolutely concluded between
Great Britain and Russia.
The Confederacy was chafed by his Majes
ty's (hips the Roebuck and Orpheus, she (truck
to the former, the latter at the fame time com
ing up very faft. Under these circumstances
it is but justice to observe, that the Captain of
jhe rebel frigate mult escape every imputation
derogatory to the condu& of an officer and a
man of honour. We must allow even an ene
my merit, when he is not found justly to have
forfeited it,
On Monday last being the Anniversary of
St. GEORGE, (tutelar Saint of England) the
Disciples of that thrice renowned Champion
met in Celebration of it, at Mr, Amory's Ta

provided, and the Day passed in Mirth, Song,

A Copy of the General Orders,
2^th April, 1781.
qr"'HE arrival of his Majesty's ship Amphi
trite, with dTpatches from Lieutenant
General Earl Cornwallis, gives the Commander
in Chief an opportunity of announcing to this
part of the army, the vi&ory obtained by the
King's troops, under his Lordship's orders,
ever the rebel army in North-Carolina, on the
15th of Match, in his Lordlhip's own words:
" Camp at Guildford, 17th March, 1781.
" General Greene having been very confi
de rabiy reinforced from Virginia by 18 months
men, and militia, and having collected all the
militia of this province, advanced with an ar
my'of about 5,000 or 6 000 men, and 4 fix
pounders to this place.---I attacked him on the
15th, and after a very sharp adion routed his
army, and took his cannon. The great fatigue
of the troops, the number of wounded, and the
w^ntof proyifions, prevented our pursuing
them beyond the Ready Fork the gfte noun of
the a&iot."

NEW-YORK., April go.
Last Saturday Evening a Feu de Joie was
fired here, by all the Troops io, Garrison in
Confcquen.ee of the V.ftory obtained by Lord
Cornwallis,< over the Rebel Army under Ge
neral Greene, at Guilford Court House,
NEW-YORK, April 28.
The Rebel Ship Hector, Captain Manning,
of 1.8 fix pounders, and ninety men was taken
by the Virginia, Capt Hazard, off Bermuda;
she belonged to Portsmouth, New-Hampshire,
and Surrendered without firing a (hot.
The Hedor was cruizing in this latitude on
purpose to intercept a rich ship bound to Lon
don, the property of Messrs. Sedden & Good
rich, of whose appearance information, had
been dispatched to the Hedor, by a clan of in
fernal rebels, inhabitants of Bermuda, who
afford every aid and intelligence to the ene
mies of Great-Britain ; molt fortunately the
ship Virginia arrived in a critical conjundgre
to prevent her falling a Sacrifice to their treach
ery. —
A correspondent hopes the loyal inhabitants
of this Island will hold out to public infamy
the names of every villain detected in such
treasonable correfpondencies, #
The Virginia after leaving Bermuda,where
she conduced the Hector, fell in with the
P e Fgy, °f Bolton, Captain Poggart, which she
took.
