The Honorable General Convention have resolved that no provisions of any kind shall be furnished to the king's ships, so long as they come here with hostile intentions; which resolution they have communicated to cols. Howe and Woodford, and it is supposed brought on the firing from the men of war, mentioned in col. Elliott's letter to his Honour the President, though from a gentleman just arrived from Norfolk (Saturday 2 o'clock) we hear it was only a Christmas frolick between lord Dunmore and the captains of the navy, upon visiting each other on board their ships.

Last Monday night [December 25] arrived in town, from Hampton, under a strong guard 33 black and white prisoners, coupled together, who were committed to the publick jail; since which a vessel was drove ashore near Hampton, in the late snow storm, going on a pirating voyage to the Eastern Shore for provisions, which had on board 14 whites and two blacks.
