this port as has been mentioned) and the latter
by the Marquis de la Fayette, and is ftippofed
went for France, as they were separated in the
above gale. On the 2d of May the Alliance fell
in with a brig and snow, part of the Briltol fleet,
bound from Jamaica for London, the former
laden with 240 hogsheads of sugar, and the lat
ter with 300, both which she captured and or
dered for port. Soon after they difery'd a fleet
9g fail, convoy'd by 20 fail of the line, of which
fleet the above two were a part ; but the Captain
ofthe Alliance did not think it prudent to meddle
with them.—On the 7th of May, in a thunder
storm, the Alliance had her main-top-mast split
in two by the lightning, from the cap to the
heel of the mast, and a number of men knock'd
down and some burnt.—On the 21st ultimo, the
Alliance fell in with two sloops of war, belong
ing to the King of Great-Britain, viz. the At
talanta, commanded by a Mr. Edwards, nephew
to Rear-Admiral Edwards, and the Trepafa,
commanded by Captain Smith, who was killed
in the engagement; they bore down on the Al
liance, and after a smart engagement of fix glares,
they both struck. In the action the Advance
had $ men killed and 24 wounded, 4 of which
have since died. Captain Barry is among the
wounded (having received a ball through his
shoulder) but is in a fair way of recovery
according to the account of the Captain of the
Attalanta, he had 5 men killed and 15 wounded,
among the latter is the First Lieutenant, who
had his right arm iliot off. On board the Tre
pafa, there were 6 killed and 12 or 15 badly
wounded, a number of which died afterwards.
Capt. Barry having a great number of prisoners
on board, thought it prudent to fend the Trepafa
as a cartel to Newfoundland, which he did with
about 220 prisoners, firft throwing her guns
overboard, and taking away her military fiores,
reserving the Captain of the Attalanta and First
Lieutenant of the Trepafa, as hostages for the
return of the Trepafa. Of the killed on board
the Alliance were, Lieutenant Samuel Pritchard
of the marines, Mr. John Pounding and Mr.
David Brewer, son of Col. David Brewer, all of
this town.
Saturday last the Alliance's Prize Brig above
mentioned arrived here fafe.
A fleet of transports fail'd from New-York a
few days since, for Europe, under convoy of the
Confederate (late the Confederacy) on board of
which were the officers and crews oftwo priva
teers trom New-London, which had been taken
and carried in there. Surely this conduct de
mands the attention of these States.
Since our last the Thorn, Capt. Tucker, re
turned into Salem, after a short cruise of io days,
to land his prisoners, having taken three prizes,,
viz. a sloop from St. Euftatia bound to Halifax ;
a letter of marque, brig of 14 guns, bound from
Antigua for Quebec, laden with rum and molas
ses, and her retaken prize, being the snow taken
by the Alliance, laden with 300 hogsheads sugar,
all ofwhich are fafe arrived in port.
Six or eight prizes, besides those abovementi
oned, have arrived at eastern ports since our raft.
Since our last have arrived in this port from
France, ago gun (hip,3 frigates and 14 transports,
with i;oo troops to join the army of our Allies
at Newport.
Yesterday arrived two French frigates from
Newport, as also a transport with troops, a mif
fing ship of the above fleet.

Capt. Eiifha Hart, in a privateer foep belong
ing to Say-Brook, arrived there last Wednesday
fe'nnight, from a cruize off Sandy-Hook. He
sent into Say-Brook three light vefiels ; and dur
ing his cruize drove on shore several imal] vessels
near Sandy-Hook. His vessel was chafed by a

We have a report which seems to be credited,
that there has been a fecend adic^t between
Count de Grade and Sir Samuel Hood, near St.
Lucia, in which the latter being hvejcly handled,
run off: That immciately upon this the Liana
surrendered to Count de Graffe, who bad taken

seamen, and 800 troops in the Garrifon^

We hear that the Honorable the Congress
have palled a resolution, recommending to each
ofthe States a fecund time, immediately to repeal
all tender laws. It is to .be hoped this recom
mendation will not be treated with neglect. The
salvation of America depends upon the reflora
tion of Credit, both private and public, and, this
can only be don© by the repeal of laws which
make it thelntefcft of publicbodies and individu
als to play the rogue..
Last Saturday the Honorable General Assem
bly of this State finished their sessions in this
