. . . The Continental Schooner Georgia Packet arrived last Night from Georgia & the Captain says he did not see any Men of War in our Bay, We hope they may be gone for N York again but must send down to See before any Movements can be made with our Shipping and We fear being interrupted by Ice. . . .
