hoped from such fyirited exertion, that those neighbourhoods of Kakiate

with darsimg gangs of villain: and their abettors, will find a considerable
relief. ' And that from pmper examples being made, we shall convince
those royal thieves themselves, that the practices of murder, bu lay,

that we cannot polsihly tolerate them, even though their perpetratorl

used well at his house. A correspondent judiciousiy observes, " That

WILLIAMSBURG, JUNE tz.
, . HE Ariadne, Ca (. Vesey, Washingtpn, Capt. Bun'uws, and two
ct scltuoneu from t. Eustatia, bound to letimore, on the tsiinflant
off the capes. fell in with the Hammond and Mohawk privateers from
New York, which they enga ed until dark, at' daybreak next morning
the privateers renewed the attac , but were obliged to sheer off; in trying
to get through cape Charlee channcl, thc Ariadne stuck on the middle
round, when :6 of her hands took the boat and w'sie'nt alhore, leaving
' paptain and I men on board. Capt. Nichola of the Hamond, seein
th tr condition, bore down on the Ariadne and took her, which won]

Ceyx. Vesey say: he wan treated very politely by Capt. Nichole during
hie by with him. - '
The Arrow privateer, Captain Lewis, it just returned from : cruise
without taking any thing. Off the capel she was attacked by two priva
' dere; after a smart engagement obliged them to sheer off..
Two French ships, one mounting 28 and the other 16 gous, are safe

We have, for a week past. been amused with very flattering account:
from Charlesiown, but as none of them came through a direct or proper
ehannel, we declined publishing them, and it has proved fortunate for
the utation of our paper that we did so, as we have the mortificati
Iofihed: by later and more direct accounte, that we have been greatly
' imposed upon. All that we can say with certainty is, that the enemy
hue marched into Sooth Carolina, and approached very near. to Charles
town; that the town was well pre and to receive them; that General
Uncoln was within a few miles o their fear; and that the enemy had
not made'any attac'k on the town on the rGth ultimo, but had taken
