Last Sunday afternoon [July 9] a cruizer sloop of war, (said to be the Lively) having chaced, and fired several shot at an inward bound vessel, belonging to Connecticut river, she was boarded by two armed boats, from the man of war, (having run aground on Say-Brook Bar) who after a short examination left her. The report of the guns having alarmed the inhabitants, a number of them assembled on the shore arm'd, and exchanged some random shots with the boats.
The King-Fisher sloop-of-war, late from New York, we hear, has been several days cruising in the Sound ー Yesterday she came too at Branford.
