BRIOSTON, NOVEMBER I.

Last night, or rather about one o'clock this morn-
ing, the inhabitants of this place were thrown into no
inconsiderable degree of alarm, by the drums of the
military beating, and the trumpets sounding to arms.
The volunteer corps, commanded by J. MILLS, Esq.
were on the alert on the occasion ; and their whole
company was to be found on the Fort best a very few
minutes after the first sound of the drums and trum-
pets were heard. The South Gloucester Militia, the 3d
Dragoons, and the Artillery from the Barracks, were
also as suddenly in motion. The alarm, it appears,
was occasioned by three French privateers which had
appeared off Newhaven, there capturing a large col-
lier, and subsequently steering westward, for the pur-
pose of extending their depredations. The cavalry
who nightly patrole the coast between this place and
Newhaven, having witnessed the capture of the above
collier, as it is understood, and fearing that the vessels
off this place, if any there should be, would share a
similar fate, communicated their suspicions to the
Commanding Officers, which gave rise, and very pru-
dently, to the proceedings here noticed. Various
people in the town were greatly alarmed ; they feared
they knew not what ; but those fears, even to those
that felt them, have been a subject of merriment ever
since. It gives us pleasure to observe, that the collier
whiet was captured'off Newhaven was recaptured by
one of his Majesty's cruizers before it was got more
than half seas over.
