BOSTON, February 14.
By Cap;. Potter, who arrived here left Friday in
20 Days from Charleftown, Siuth Carolina, we
learn.--- That the Boston, Providence, Ranger and
Qaten of France, which failed from hence the latter
End of November, arrived at that Port on the 19th
of December; after a tedious Passage cf 26 Days,
having met with severe Galea- -That on their Passage
from hence they took a Brig of 12 Gans from St.
Augudine, which had not arrived when Capt. Pot
ter failed -that a Packet Boat had decoyed in there
a Privateer Brig called the Lady Crefby, of 12 Guns
and 18 Men, from New Yoik, laden with Cloathing
for the new Levies there, not knowing but fht was
going into Georgia, by which they learnt, that the
Fleet from New York bound for Georgia, which
failed the latter Endof December, had been so sepa
rated in the severe Store# in December and January,
that scarcely two Vessels were to be seen together --
That in confluence of the above Report, the Pro
vidence and Ranger, in Conjunction w^h 4 French
Frigate#, failed from thence on a short Ciuife, on or
about the 23d of January, in order to pick up fame
of the featur'd Transports ; and 'tis not doubted but
we shill have good Accounts cf feme of them--
That a good Number cf Tioops from North Caroli
na had arrived there, and as great Numbers of others
wereon their March from Virginia, they were in
little fearof an Invasion from Georgia, as no certain
information had been received of the Arrival of any
British Rwruifa at Savannah.
The following Paragraph# are taken from the
South Carolina Gazette, of January 12, viz.—--
£' According to our left adv ces from the Weft In
dies, all the British hi pi of the line remaining there
the 29th of November, cf Admiral Barrington and
Byron's fleet, were 3 disabled flips at Antigua,
hardly repairable in those fees; 7 at Barbadoes, and
3at Jamaica, one of these difabted; in all 13 fail.
And that there were no British Frigates among the
Leward Islands besides the Venus and Porcupine.
In the night of the 24th of October bit, the Gua
deloupe British frigate commanded, by George Ro
binfon, Esq; from Quebec for Georgia, in a hard gale
of wind, fell into the midst cf Count d'Eftaininft
fleet, and nex r day narrowly efeaped being taken by
three 74 gun th pt. The 26^1 the gale continuing
they were obliged to cut away the anchors from the
bows, and heave 7of the guns overboard. Capt.
Samuel Spencer in the brig Berfey, from Georgia,
for this port, with upwards of 100 fouls on board,
was taken by the Guadeloupe and gives Capt. Ro
binson the credit of having treated ^ll his prisoners
with great humanity and gene^fity.
Extra& of a Letter dated Cha/eftown, South Ca
rolina January 22 1,80.'
, " We hear nothing fiom Georgia, but expe&
another attack. Iris reported that Pensacola is in
the Hands of the SpatAi^s, and generally believed,
as about 20 Sail of Ship# of War and Transports
failed for that Place about 5 Weeks ago. --The
Spaniards have taken the 16 k Regiment on the Mif
fifippi, and others, to the Am mat of 10 or 1200,
and carried them to the Hivona -Gin. Lincoln is
at prefeat in Charleftown and in good Health, and
his A my in good Spirits - The tffizers and Men
on heard theContinental Frigates, are in extraordi
nary ^ood Health, ronfiderinr tk Climate."
