FALMOUTH, DECEMBER 3z.

On the sth of this month, about five o'clock in
the evening, a Nall felucca picaroon appeared oft
this harbour, rowing eight fweeps on a fide, in
chace of a fchooner (landing in for this port : at
this time there was very little wind, the fchooner
had out two oars, but the felucca gained on
her fall ; which being perceived by John Dickfon
*Laughlin, a free black fifherman, he went out
armed in a large canoe, with fix hands, and fuc-
ceeded in taking the velfel in tow : as foon as that
was ken by the privateer, a mufket was difeharged
from her, which was boldly returned by the Mei-.
man, followed by a fecund and third, when the
maurauder hauled his wind and gave up the clam
The fchooner was brought in fate, and proved to

According to letters from Amlerdam, dated
March .21. the Swedith Admiral CRONSTAOr was
received at the Hague with the greatcft diftinaion.
That Admiral is expeaed there with Admiral De

cutters, &c. and three frigates, is equip?ing with

the palfengers within a few miles of the fpot.—
There were hopes entertained, however, that they

French ports.
