The Britannia Privateer, Captain lan, of this
Port, was, the 14th of June, taken and carried into
Cape Francois, by a French Frigate called the Me
dea $ The Captain on his arrival at the Cape was
immediately committed to Gaol, and there confined
with his Men, for 7 Weeks, and experienced the
worst of Treatment.
A Brig, from Boston, with Lumber, has been
lately carried into Providence, by the Privateer Lion
of that Place.
Last Week died at Jamaica, on Long-Island, Mrsi
Math, of that Place; in an advanced Age.
Last Week a Party of Moyland's Light Horse
were at Elizabeth-Town, collecting Cattle for the
,Use of the Rebel Army. They tock,a Pair of fat
"Oxen out of a.Team on the Road, and gave the
Driver a receipt for them; They then proceeded to
the Point Meadows, and took away every Hoof from
thence, but were opposed on the Way by the Militia
andthe Commiffioner# of the Place, who obliged
them to relinquish their Booty. They next began
to levy Contributions at Newark, and attempted
their fine Flock of Sheep: They were there also
obliged to dofift. But we are told it was agieed
that all the fat Cattle in Newark and its Neighbour
hood were to be celle&ed by 150 Light Infantry,
and drove to the Mountain Meeting-House near
that Place, last Saturday, where the heneft Farmer
was to be convinced the Receipt of a Rebel Commis
sary would be much better for himfelf and Family
during a long hard Winter, than a Quantity of good
fat Beef.
We hear that General Waffiington and the Mar
quis de la Fayate, are both gone to Rhode Island,
in order to consult withthe Commander of the French
Troops at that Place; and that the Rebel Army
crossed the North River last Thursday and Friday.
By Captain M'Dougall, in 9 Days from Provi
dence, we learn, that on the 3d instant, there was a
violent Gale of Wind at that Island, in which ,their
Market-House, and many other Dwelling-Houses
were blown down, and 40 Sail of Vessels drove on
Shore ; but it was thought they would all be got off
again without much Damage.
Saturday last his Majesty's Frigates Boreas,
Capt. Thompson, and Greyhound, Captain
Fooks, of zsGuns each, arrived here in 1,
Days from Barbados ; who on the Pallage
took the Chieming-Sally, (Letter of Marque)
of zo Guns, and 96 Men.-^Likewife the Brig
General Wayne, of 12 Guns and 56 Men;
both from Philadelphia. Also the Aurora
Privateer, of zo Guns and 120 Men, from
Newbury, (three Weeks out and had taken
nothing) and a final! Spanish Brig, from the
Havannah to Cadiz.
The fame Day arrived with a Flag of Truce,
from St. Croix, the Sloop Elizabeth, who met
with two Frigates in Lat. 39, 2, off Cape
May; and in Lat. 35, Lon. 74, on tne 18th
ink, about 30 Leagues to the Eastward of Cape
Hatteras, (he fell in with his Majesty's Ships
the Intrepid, and Cyclops, who had with them
two Privateers from Bolton, the one a Ship of
zz Guns, the other a Brig of 14 Guns.
The Ship Marlborough, Capt. Howe, arri
ved here last Saturday Evening in eight Weeks
from Guernsey, which Place he left the 25th
of July. The firft of August, in Lat. 47, 18,
Lon. 12, 00, in the Mouth of the Bay, at 11
A. M. he fell in with the Grand Fleet ofEng
land, confiding of 30 Sail of the Line, under
theCommand of Admiral Geary,Vice Admirals
Barrington and Darby, and Rear Admirals
Digby and Sir John Lockhart Ross. Captain
Howe was boarded by three Boats from the
Fleet, in one of which was Mr. T. Watkins,
firft Lieut, of the Royal George, to whom he
gave some English Prints that contained a full
Confirmation of the taking 30 St. Domingo
Men (as has been already mentioned) 27 of
which had got into Port..,
Mr. Watkins informed Capt. Howe, that
Admiral Geary expected every Day to be
joined by 7 Sail more of the Line, all Copper
Bottoms, and that they had been cruising four
Weeks in Expectation of falling in with some
Spanish Ships of War expected at Brest.
The third, of August Capt. Howe fell in
with aVenetian Snow from Z<nt for London,
the Captain of which informed him, that on
the 17th of July, Cape St. Vincents bearing
W.N W. 15 Leagues Distance, he fell in with
a Fleet of 4® Sail of Spanish and French Ships,
several of them of the Line, bound to Breit.
