Last Sunday Capt. Stephen Clay, belonging to Connecticut-River, in 23 Days from Hispaniola, was drove ashore on Narraganset Beach, by two Frigates, who fired a number of shot at his vessel, and attempted to send a barge to take possession of her; but the inhabitants appeared for his assistance, beat off the boat, and assisted in getting off the vessel, which is since arrived safe at Stonington. The two ships afterwards bore away for Newport.
