A large French ship, from Nantz and St. Pierre's, having on board a rebel Colonel of the name of Davis, is taken by the Seaford man of war, and carried into Dominica. She is loaded with arms, military stores, cloathing for 10,000 men, and 10,000 tents; and supposed, at a moderate computation, to be worth 30,000 l. sterling.2
It is said that the Sturdy Beggar privateer, a brig of 14 guns, is taken by the Fly sloop of war, Capt. Gardiner, after a smart engagement, in which the Captain of the privateer and a number of his hands were killed.
The French and Rebel pirates daily increase, and are become more daring and troublesome than ever.
