Charlestown, February 16.
We hear from Georgia, that the Scarborough Man of War, of 20 Guns, lately arrived in Savannah River, with a Prize Schooner, having 4000 lb. of Gunpowder on board. Probably the Scarborough was the Ship that was seen off Georgetown Bar, about a Fortnight since, and which took the Pilotboat mentioned in our last.
The following is the best Account we have been able to obtain of the Georgia Squadron: Syren, Capt. [Tobias] Furneaux, 28 Guns; Scarborough, Capt. [Andrew] Barclay, 20; Tamar, Capt. [Edward] Thornbrough, 18; Raven, Capt. [John] Stanhope, 18; Cherokee, Capt. [John] Fergus[s]on 10; with some armed Schooners and Tenders.
We are informed that Sir James Wright, and his two Daughters, lately went privately on board one of the above Men of War.
