Coracoa, but more probably to South-Carolina, will
turn out a valuable Prize to the Experiment, and a
great Loss to the Rebels. This is the fourth Prize
taken, and arrived in onr Harbour, within the hit
twelve Days, by this vigilant and gallant Comman
der, and we doubt not that this present Cruize off this
Coast, will soon produce us many more Arrivals
of equal Importance with those now lying at our
Wharfs.
The firft Cost of the above mentioned Ship's Cargo
at Cadiz, amounted to 84,000 Dollars.
Thu fday lad the Brig Hannah, Capt. Svbals,
arrived here from Halifax, in 17 Days: He failed
from thence in Company with sundry other Veffris,
feme of which were for this Port, and the Rett for
Rhod^-JHand, under Convoy of his Majelty's armed
Brig the Cabbot.
Captain Svbals informs, That Prizes were daily
brought into Halifax, by his Majesty's Frigates,
and that when he failed the Blond, Milford, Orphe
us, Scarborough, /Fox, and Albany, lay in that Har
bonr.
Thursday last the Ship Tom, Capt. Lee, arrived
herein 8 Weeks from Liverpool,
On the zSth of December, in Lat. 48, 48. Lon.
37,035. Capt. Lee fell in with the Rebel Schooner
Privateer Warren, Capt, Revel, fiom Beverly, in
.Maffachuftts-Bay, cf ten Guns, and fifty Men,
*which he took, after a short Engagement, carrying
away their Fore-Mall, killing one of their Men and
wounding thiee, with no other Loss on his Side,
than one Lad wounded, named John Neal. Capt.
Lee tookthe Guns and every other necessary out of
tieipriyateer,and then lef t them to fir ft for themselves,
The next Day Capt. Lee fell in with and took the
Schooner Friendship, Capt. Ellenwocd, from Sahni
for.Surinham, with Fifu and Lumber, vnd ordered
her fer Liverpool ; and the 9th Ult. Lat. 35, 55.
Lon. 64, 46. he also fell in with and took the
Schooner Two Brothers, Isaac Elwell, Master, from
Newbury; for Trinidada, with Lumber and Fish,
which he ordered for this Port, but parted from her
in a Gale of Wind.
The 16th following in Lat. 37, 57. Lon. 63, 45.
Capt. Lee engaged a Sloop of 12 Guns and about
70 Men for a considerable Time within Pistol Shot,
when file was glad to iheer off, with considerable
Damage, and as Capt. Lee put one third Patt of his
Men on board his Prizes, he thought it most pru
dent to pursue his Voyage hither.
- The Zeal and Loyalty of the Liverpool Mer
chants, in Favour of Government is eminently evin
ced by 'the Number of Vtffels they have already
arffied and Rationed for the Annoyance of the Rebel
Commerce and Communication with the natural
Enemies of Great-Britain ; the following are now
cruizing in the American Seas, on the Coasts of Ca
rolina and Virginia, The. Sarah Goulbourn, Capt.
Holland,, f2O fix and nine Pounders; the Brilliant,
Capt. Priestly, of 20 fix and nine Poundeis; the

Notice to remove from thence, many Families were
already retired with their Effects back to the Moun

On Thursday Afternoon, on his Way to gratify
an ardent Defiret fee h ; s Family, who were ill of
the Small-pox, Mr. John Richards, of New-
Barbados Neck, was taken near Bergen by two aim
ed Men, and on the Road between that at d the three
Pigeons, was /hot dead by one of them, as he was
preventing the other from robbing him of his Watch.
He was a Man unive/fally known, and as unwerlally
beloved ; warmly attached to his Friends, humane
and candid to his Enemies, benevolent and heritable
to all Men, and has now fallen a Sacrifice to his
unfufpe&ing and generous Temper, for when warned
of the Dinger of his intended Vdit, his Anfrer
was, “ that his Countrymen, even if they fhuuld
“ take him, would never injure him."
