BOSTO N, September 23.
We have the pleasure of informing the public,
that the State sloop Winthrop, commanded by
George Ljrle, Esq; fafely arrived in this port on
Monday lull after a ihort, but fuccefsful cruize—
during which the has captured 4 prizes, viz:—
The privateer ship Merriam, commanded by
Richard Pomeroy—the privateer schooner Ham
mond, commanded by one Doty—a large sloop,
laden with lumber, &c.—and a wood schooner.
Ihe Winthrop chafed the brig into Penobfcot
on Wednesday fe'nnight; a thick fog coming on,
gave over chace.—ln the afternoon of the fame
day, on her way out, fell in with and re-captur
ed the above Hoop, prize to the Merriam.—Capt.
Little put about the fame evening, and proceeded
on towards Penobfcot, determined at all hazards
10 bring out the brig they chafed in the fame day,
which they effectually did, by boarding her as
Ilie lay at anchor above the fort, under a very
heavy fire of cannon and mufquetry, which was
kept up from all parts on fliore and at the fort ;
and was bravely returned in course from the State
lloop, without losing one single man belonging
to the sloop---bravely conducted her out of Pe
nobfeot, and brought her fafe to this port.
Much praise is due to the bravery and good con
duff of Capt. Little, and his crew, for this spirit
ed enterprise, and for the great service they have
rendered this Commonwealth, in captivating the
above privateers, that have for a long time in
fefted this coast, and taken many valuable voxels
from us.
Yesterday some dispatches arrived in town
from Philadelphia, dated the 17th of the month;
from which we learn, that the two frigates the
Eagle and the Glory, the firft commanded by
Mons. de la Touche, and the other by Mons. de
Vallangue, arrived at the Delaware the 13th,
from France. They were chafed by the fleet of
Admiral Pigot, and were obliged to enter the river
without a pilot, after a combat gloriouflv fuftain
<d againfl a British ship 0f74 guns, in the night
and morning of the sth. The firft being forced
on thore, cur her malts, and was scuttled, to pre
vent het falling into the hands of the enemy. The
Baron de Viomeuil, the Duc de Lauzun, the
Marquis de Val, their aids, and all the King's
officers that were paffen^ers, all the dispatches,
the money, and every thing valuable on board,
were saved. Captain La Touche with his officers
and crew were made prisoners.
I he frigate the Glory is fafe, and the comman
der Mons. deVallangue, sent the dispatches to the
Minilter of France, by the Count de Segur and
the Prince de Broglio, the firit the son of the
minister of war, and the second the son ofthe ce
lebrated Marshal Broglio. The commander of
the King's fleet in our harbour has received all his
dispatches by this conveyance. All the officers
without exception, who embarked at Brest and
Rochfort on board these frigates have arrived in
good health.
His Excellency the Governor, in consequence
of a resolution passed by the General Assembly
halt Saturday, has issued his orders to the several
Brigadiers of this Commonwealth to hold them
