TENT it by flag oftruce, with all the Englifn
priioners he had, amounting to 2ee THAT as
he fuppofed from his meannefs in firing upon
neutrals under his protection, without approach
ing the land, he mutt be in want of men to at
tack the illand, if the prifoners which he had
could be of any fervice to him, he requefted
that he would receive them, without any ran
Tom and attack the French on land, where he,

dying at the head of gallant regiment of young
men III defending the colony. 1t had its effect
for the frigate Immediately ceafed firing and
