CAPTURE OF THE TWO FRIENDS.

CAPTURE OF THE TWO FRIENDS.
The regular trading American Ship Two
FRIENDS, Captain M'NEIL, from London for
this port, with full cargo of Dry Goods, iup-
poied to be worth one hundred fbouEa4a eou7d5
RerliHg, was captured on Tueiday lait, in ten "a
thoms water, by the French privateer fchooner
L,EMERANcE, Captain Moiian, from Gnada-
loupe, now cruiiing of our bar.
The plea urged by the privateerfncn for cap.
turing the ihip was, that fhe had not certifi-
cate from the American Conful relident in Lon
don, declaring her to be American property.
The paieDgers and crew were permitted to
take out their baggage, &c /; and were treated
civilly while on board the privateer. CAPTAIN
M Neil, the cook, and two boys, remain on
board the ihp-whict, after putting "a French
men on board, they ordered for Guadaloupe.
The pafiengers arrived in town this morning in
pilot boat.
The two Friends left Gravefend on the aft
April, and was 10 days out when captured.
The pr"ateer mounts four I2-pound caron-
AIDES, long brafs l2-pounder, and two double
fortified 4-pounders and had on board 81
men. They ftated that, one OF the Cuincamcn
which they had taken, bound into this port, had
4 so ilaves.
Thus, by the daring and piratical proceed
ing OF 4'nall Picaroon, is our port completely
blockaded, aud our citizens wantonIy robbed
