NM You, Nov. t....-Thirßritiflr privateers Gem
ral Brevier, belonging to Nov, Scotia, and mount-,
icy, twelve ts-pounders, has limn taken by a French
privateer, and carried into Point Petre. Sbe wm
taken without any oppolitiost, having been previoutly
boarded by a Britith frigate, which imprefed her
men, leaving berbartly enough to navigate the vefel.
The Bithunisra Gazette mentions, report that Pi-
not*, BostAAAAve and his lady had made their eff.
cape on board the Cordelia, a fall failing fc.honner,
under the command of Captain Towles ; aid the
Philadelphia True American Rates that they wine
lhipwrecked and obliged to return. Both reports,
however, appear to be equally without foundation.
A grand Jury of the Sate of New Jerfey have pre-
fented a bill of indiftment againft Colonel- Buster fi r
murder. As the wound was given in, the State of
New Jerfey, and General HILKILTOII died in that or
New York, Colonel Boaz' it was thonglst, could not
be charged with murder t for, as in common law, if
the Itroke of which one dies be given in one county,
and be die in another, it is not murder in either, fo it
ought to hold Rill more ffrongly in refped to differ- '
ent Stater. It happens, however, that there is a par-
ticular ftatute of the State of New Jerfey, by which,
if the ftroke be ;rafted there, and the perfon die in
confequence thereof though in another State, it is
held to be murder.

here yciterday from Shelburne, informs us that be
pared the French frigates, the Didon and Sybille,
from this port, on Saturday evening, at 5 o'clock, off
the N. E. end of Black Ifland, with their courfes '
hauled up. As it was then calm, he fisppesfes they
could not have gone more than a mile before twelve
that night, when a breeze (prang up from N. N. E.

Baltimore, with the fubferpsent one of his lisipwreck

For two weeks before the failing of the frigates,
no strangers were permitted to go ha board the
Didon.

Captain Gott, who arrived at Baltimore lea Sa-
turday from Norfolk, Rates that the report of the
day when he failed was, that a French privateer un-
der the femblanee of being an Englilk packet, and
under the pretence of having difpatches for the Com-
mander of a Britilk frigate lying off Grenada, was
admitted along-fide her, when the Captain of the pri-
vateer, by fuddenly and anexpeftedly boarding with
' a large number of sear made prize of the frigate and
cart ied her off.

Tbe ufual number of Jurors had, in the cullomary
form, taken a view of the pretnifes, and the (Ingle

He men:amended to the Jury not to receive the evi•

Mr. Glass I.:id this was an altion on four Bills of

parr, and Henry Richards, P. Spencer, and John
Iliac, on the other part, for certain extel:five
'rations to be made on the lae of D.rgs. Tile work
was to be done at a certain llipulated price. and the
penalty for non-petformknce was soot. The prccent
Plaintiff being &Irks( Lb part with the third (bare
he held in this engagement, parted with it to there
DeFentiants fur. 34: guineas, to be paid in the fum
of nine guineas weekly. For the amount of four of
the Pail‘ given for that payment the prelim' aaion
