DARING EXPLOIT.

In June, I779, an expedition Of United
States vessels was 6tIrd out from Boston.
II consisted of the Providence, thirty two
guns, Commodore Whipple, the Queen of
France, twc"ty-eishi guns, Capt.. Z, Ralh-
burn, and the sloop of war Ranger, Capt.
Simpson. Abou, the middle of July, near
the banks of Newfoundland, ns the squn-
dron lny ina fog, signal guns were heard,
aud at intervals the sound of ships bells
striking hours. From thus they supposed
themselves To be near a fleet. About elev-
en- o'clock, the fog began to clear off, when
the crew Of the Queen of France, TO
their grea, surprise, found themselves near
ly alongside of "A large merchant ship, aud
soon after they perceived themselves Ia he
in n fleet of one hundred and fifty sail, un-
der the convoy ola seventy -four, and sever
al frga,es aud sloops Of war-The Queen
of France Immediately bore down To the
large ship, and hailed her. She answered
that the fleet was from Jamaica, buund In
London. The English ship then hailed the
American, aud was answered, His mites
tvs ship Malhusn, from Halifax, on cruise
The American then inquired if they had
seen any rebel privn'eers. The Englsh
replied ih,t several had been driven ou' of
the fleet. The American, Capt Rnlhbnrr,
then requested the captain of the English
vessel to come on board. which lle did
when, to his great nstonishmeni he found
himself prisoner Capt. Ra,hburn ll''n
sent one Of his own boats, aud The Englisli
capinin's boat both well manned, Ia The
ship, of which they took quiet possession,
without exciting the least alarm ia the fleet,
4 many of the vessels were
nearly within hail of the one capiured.--
Ra,hburn then went alongside nnolher large
ship, aud captured her in the same m"Gi'rr.
Soon after the capture of the second ship,
Commodore Whipplc came along side, and
ordered Capt. Raihburn to edge away out
of the fleet, as soon ms possible, ms he was
