A Vessel, it is said, with a Number of Cannon, and ot,her Warlike Stores, arrived at a safe Port in this State, the latter end of last Week.
We learn, that no less than 15 British Ships of War, were lately cruising along the Coast of America, who have taken several of our Merchantmen.
Last Monday Noon, upwards of 100 Sailors, which had be6r taken on board a Number of Vessels, bound to the Ministerial Army, and brougl1t into this State, were sent from hence to Providence, by Land, under a proper Guard. They are to be ~ent to Newport, to be exchanged for the same Number of our Countrymen, who hqve unhappily fallen into their Hands.
