four American prisoners, Zone captain of
whaieman, one master of prize co the Yam.
Zee, and the other two masters of vessels \
from on board the Albion n, who arrived
here this evening. that they were taken by
the Albion, and brought into the sound in
company with the Sceptre, admiral Cock
burn. The capt. fthe Albion had pledged
ms honor ON their parole, that he would set
mem on shore, which he did on Plumb Is
land In the boat that went for water. They
state tnat Cockburn's intention when he first
came, was to attack our SQUADRON and place
but on being informed by capt. Hardy that
the resistance would be great, he has con-
Guided not TO make the attempt. Cockburn
is to SHIFT his flag to the Albion, his own ship
oe'hg much out Of repair. The Sceptre is
bound to Bermuda, and Cockburn 10 to re-.
turn to the Chesapeake. Should this news
prove true our squadron may be down again

THE CEDAR TWIG.

THE CEDAR TWIG,
Written by young gentleman, on being
presented with a small branch Of cedar
by young lady.
The cedar twig my theme shall be,
For Sappho gave the twig to me:
The twig tina, from. the lovely maid,
Electric darts to me convey'd.
Four little balls upon it grew,
That pleased me as they caught my view;
From which there flew electric flame,
That thriird my heart, & shook my frame.
But this was not so quickly spent,
As darts from balls metallic sent:
Fo- tho some weeks have had their round,
YET still feel the lasting wound
And though the twig itself may fade,
And lose the charms it once displaysd,
Yet still the keen perennial dart.
VIII ever live TO pierce my heart.
Then Sappho lie, me thee intreat,
BY ell the ties that are most sweet,
When next thou giv'st q twig to me,
To pluck il from the myrtle tree.

off New-London in the Maidstone to Halifax.
He states that the Maidstone was much inju-

In her hull, and one in her forcmast. The
mast was taken, out and new one put in at
HALIFAX. She had also one shot taken out
just above water mark, and was otherwise
injured, SO as to compel her to leave her sta
ton for repairs.
The officers of the frigate observed, thai
it the gun-boats had been Spanish, the fri
gate would have been taken or sunk. The
shot weighed 2lb more than the English 52lb
