Last Lord's Day, arrived in safe Port, a valuable Prize Brig, ¹ taken by Captain Fisk, in the Tyrannicide Vessel of War, belonging to this State — Her Cargo we are told, consists chiefly of European Goods —

It is said, a Cartel Vessel is arrived at Marblehead from Halifax, with only 14 Prisoners, belonging to the States, while there are more than 200 confined there, and the Enemy is indebted to us more than 50, according to the last Settlement at Rhode-Island. These Circumstances justly create Suspicions that there is some secret Design in sending this Flag. It is hoped these Visitors will not be allowed to come on Shore, and walk at large. We rely on the Vigilance of the Guardians of the State, in this and some other Affairs of a similar Nature.
