Lord Dunmore, we hear, has at last determined to stop all communication between this place and Norfolk by water, as well as between Norfolk and Hampton; which is a measure perfectly consistent with his lordship's usual generosity, and wise system of politicks. It is said Likewise, that he is intrenching his chosen band at Gosport, from whence he will issue out his decrees, as Darius did of old.

We hear that the renowned capt. Squire, of his majesty's sloop Otter, is gone up the bay for Baltimore in Maryland; on his old trade, it is to be presumed, of negro-catching, pillaging farms and plantations of their stock, and other illustrious actions highly becoming a squire in the king's navy. Some say, his errand was to watch for a quantity of gunpowder intended for this colony; but that valuable is now safely landed, where he dare not come to smell it.
