CHARLESTOWN, (S. C.) March i 3.
Received by an arrival on Sunday,
The following information was given
to as by a gentleman who came in Capt.
Dckerfou'i packet, yesterday from Savan
nah:—
tool the 25th February last, as the rev
- =,ue cutter of Georgia, was beating into
Te inlet of St. Simon's, two vefftls of war
l %re difccvered with British colors dying;
L don after, one of them fred a (hot at the
I cutter; thy Capt. of the cutter not wifh
'ing to jofe time in speaking to them, con
tinued h&oufe ; the (hip which had be
fore fired, then fired five or fix guns more ;
, these no: inducing the Capt. of the cutter
to heave to, the (hip luffed up and fired a
broadfiJe ; fortunately the (hot did not
{ hit th6 cutter ; at this time the (hip had
got into three fathom water ; as it was
dangerous for her to Hand on farther (he
manned two b ats, and sent after the cut
,^r; before the boats overtook her, (he
had got to the port of 3t. Simon's; there,
38 armed men, belonging to the Sphynx
foop of war, Captain Bresford, took pos
session of the cutter, and by force carried
her to sea; when they had her without the
bar, they released her.* Twe realm they
gave for attacking an American vessel in
the tide waters of the United States, was,
that they took the carer to be a French
Privateer. Tne (hip in company with
the Sphinx,was a French corvette they had
taken.
On Thursday Lift arrived here,in twelve
days from Georgie, a Schooner, with live
O^k, for the frigate to be built in this
town —three other vessels are (boa to fol
low for tn s place, when fa building of
the frigate will go onrapidly, and maut
tradesmen receive federal employment.—
Sailed with the said schooner, a (hip for
Baltimore, a brig for Philadelphia, and
a brig for New York, loaded all with
live OUc, for the Federal Ships that are
* dmfto be builtin these several places.

" In lat. 28. 30. long. 63, had
a brisk gale at S. W. Just at
day-break saw a fail to the wind

immediately wore ship and flopd

length of my passage required
me to embrace every fair wind,
I shortened fail until the vessel
came up ; she proved to be the
schooner Rachel, of Sullivan,
Henry Grant master, laden with
boards, and having on board the
Gentleman who loaded her, and
his Daughter, who had intended

lives in Newton; and one man

broke the main-mast off fix feet
above deck, and boom in the

appeared good, bent in room
of a fore fail ; being all the fail

reason, being myfelf on an al

had saved, was enough for them
comfortably to subsist for twen

not but they arrived where they

was font us lately. Inlead of a sheet, of
which it usually confided, it was only prin

going to the press, a shell from a howit

destroyed half of the type which had been

were willing flic should return,
I would farther relieve them, by
lessening their number, and take
the girl with me to Philadelphia,
and that if I did not return to
Boston myfelf, I would provide
a passage for her, so that she

away for Antigua. They had
not loft much of their deck-load
