The sloop Maccaroni, Capt. Hunting, is arrived at the east end of Long-island from the West Indies: About 16 days since the sloop overset off Cape Hatteras, by which accident the Captain and one of the men were drowned; the whole crew were overboard, but all of them except the two before mentioned recovered the vessel again, when she soon righted.
Capt. Lowndes from St. Croix, informs us, That several of the transports that lately arrived at Antigua, received so much damage on this coast, that they were obliged to go to English Harbour to refit.
The arrival of the Mercury, of 24 guns, with General Clinton, alarmed the inhabitants of this city very sensibly; and last Friday [February 9] the transport ship Kitty, with 200 soldiers on board, came into port: 'Tis said she sailed from Boston in company with the Mercury, and is supposed to be part of the fleet that lately left that place destined for the southward.
