We have an account from the eastward of our people having taken a man of war's tender, and one or two transports. the particulars are difficult to gather or ascertain however seven marine officers are brought prisoners here, and are secured. There is just arrived an account of an engagement between our people and a man of war at Cape-Ann, wherein our people had the advantage, but no particulars that can be relied on are come to hand.

If any men of war or regular mercenaries should be sent to Philadelphia, I am in hopes my fellow-citizens will give a good account of them. I have pledged myself for their good behaviour.
