Last Thursday [November 9], about noon, the bomb brig, a schooner, and 3 tenders, part of the ministerial navy in this harbour, weighed anchor and went up the Bay, near Warwick Neck, where they met two Provincial sloops, who engaged them warmly for a short time, when night coming on, and the wind blowirig excessively hard at S.E. they parted; and next morning the brig, schooner, &c. came down again.

'Tis said two of the tenders were hull'd, and received some considerable damage in their sails and rigging; the Provincial slo[ops, we h]ear, received scarcely any in jury at all.
