On Saturday sailed for Cadiz, the Spanish Snow St. Michael, Don Joacham de Laraquebel, Commander, which put in here in Distress, in September last, and has since been refitted.
Yesterday arrived here, from Philadelphia, Christopher Gadsden, Esq; one of our Delegates at the General Congress, and Colonel of the first Regiment of Infantry in the Service of this Colony, with his Son Mr. Thomas Gadsden. On the Coast of North-Carolina, they were chased ashore by a Man of War, supposed to be the Syren Capt. [Tobias] Furneaux, and her Tender; but fortunately Colonel Gadsden secured his Papers, and with the Rest of the Passengers and Crew, got safe on Shore. The Vessel, Mr. Waldron's Pilotboat, fell into their Hands.
We hear that the Syren was seen off Georgetown Bar last Sunday, with a Schooner, which was supposed to be one from the Northward that had been taken by her.
