AN extraordinary circumstance hap
pened here lately : A. small ship un
der Englilh colours cast her anchor here
in the evening, cbfe to two brigs laden
with provision for the garrison ; as it was
a rough sea wind, and the evening came on
apace, ihe could not be easily got at for
examination. In the night Ihe boarded
the two brige, and ran out to fa with
them ; b"t two men who made their efrape
in a fk ff, giving information of the mat
ter, the Eaterprize and Montreal, two fri
gates, were ordered out for a pursuit ; un
fortunately, however, they were too late,
for flie had got fafe off with her prizes, and
the frigates were obliged to return with
out them.
