Last Friday two small Schooners appeared cruizing in the Offing, which occasioned the Provincial armed Schooner Defence, Capt. [Simon] Tufts, going out. The Brigantine Amphitrite, Capt. McNeil, bound from this Port for Jamaica, in Ballast, was then at an Anchor off the Bar, from whom we learn, that one of the Tamer's Tender (formerly one of our Pilot-boats) which sailed about 3 Months ago, and was generally thought to be lost; and the other the Comet Packet-boat, Capt. McDonough, from Pensacola. Capt. Tufts, we hear, is at Beaufort.
Yesterday Afternoon, a Brigantine came into the Road, and the Weather being very hazy, fired several Guns. She went out to sea again this Morning. It is said to be the Diligence Packet-boat, Capt. Clarke, from Pensacola.
