We hear that a Vessel from England, with a Quantity of Medicines on board for the ministerial Troops, is taken at the Eastward by one of our Privateers.
Capt. Manly, of the Lee Privateer, of 10 Guns, last Week took two valuable Prizes, and carried them to Plymouth. ー On Tuesday, as he was again putting out to Sea, he was attacked by two armed Vessels, which he engaged about an Hour, when one of them struck, but before he could take Possession of the Prize, another armed Vessel of 16 Guns engaged him, and his Vessel being much damaged, and the Enemy greatly superior in Strength, he was obliged to row her into Marshfield.
Capt. Brown [sic James Barron] in a small Privateer, has carried two Prizes into Virginia; one a Vessel from Cork, deep laden with Pork, Potatoes, Eggs, Wine, Porter, Cheese and drief Beef, supposed to be worth 5000 l. Sterling; the other from the Grenades, loaded with Rum, Sugar and several other Necessaries.
