Scarborough (Tobago) Sept. 5.
On the 24th of last month was brought to town gaol one John Wilson, commander of a small American schooner privateer, who had taken in the month of April last, off Cortland, the ship Champion, Capt. Fellows, belonging to this island.2 He says, that they now put in at Man of war bay to get good water; but being discovered by some Negroes in a plantain walk, they went and informed the manager, who justly apprehended him as a spy, and immediately sent him to be examined by his Honour the Lieutenant Governor. The crew, finding their Captain taken, made off with the vessel.
On Thursday last, the above John Wilson was put on board the Government ship, for Grenada.
