Tuesday last the Ship Philipa, Captain
Wallace, and Ship Nancy, Captain Hunter,
arrived here in 8 Weeks from Ooorto: Nine
Days after they were out, they fell in with a
Rebel Cutter of 20 Guns, and full of Men,
with whom they exchanged feverul Shot, but
the thought proper soon to sheer off: The

when the Captains Wallace and Hunter failed
from Oporto.
The Privateers that took the Ship Jenny
from London, tor this Port,, off Sandy-Hook
jaff Sunday Week, were two Sloops, (Ber

left Albany, that the chief Continental But
cher there is ordered to employ a Number of
the other Butchers in catching Fiih, such as
Herring and Sturgeon, for rhe Use of the Con
tinental Army, as their Money is reduced to
so low an Eub, that they cannot afford Beef—
and that they have a Guard hear the Farm of
the great General Schuyler at Saratoga to pre
vent the inhabitants getting any Share of the
Finery.
Last Friday Night a Party from King’s-

any Notice of his approaching, Hammond
answered, “ No, for if they had had any
Advice of his coming they ihould not find him
brought off Prisoners.

On this ground the Senator may go on to

has done that of the tender law. The treble
