New-London, February 9, 1776.
Last Sunday near Sun-set, Capt. [James] Wallace landed a Number of Men out of his Fleet on Point-Judah; took from thence seven Loads of Hay, a Number of Sheep, and two Cows.
By Capt. Arthur from Guadaloupe, we learn, that a French Frigate had arrived at the Island from France, with Reports that the French had made a Demand on the British Court of Fifty Million of Livres, as Restitution for Vessels taken by the English before the Declaration of last War. He also informs us that there's not so many English Cruisers off the foreign Ports in the West-Indies as has been represented.
