HULL, AUG. 23. .The fate of the Molly, of this
.Port, is at length ascertained. She was captured, in
foggy weather, by the Serene Frigate, on the 18th
June, in 14..76. 30. while attempting to double the
ice.: The crew were taken on board the Frierate,
and a, Prize-master put in chargé of the Molly,
which Ship, after being plundered, was burnt on
the 21st June. Two or three days after the Syrene
was 'joined by the Revanc4e Irigate, Viben they

British Sloop.of War, and in the fear of a sharp en-
counter with her, a great number of the crew of the
Syrene aelually run down between decks, to be out
of danger.
