The 6th inst. two American privateers, both of them ships of considerable force, stood into, and cut three vessels out of this harbour; and a few days before, the same privateers took a large ship within a few miles of this place. There is at present nine of those provincial vessels of war cruizing round this island, in defiance of the small squadron the admiral has at Port Royal, which are too few in number to check their progress.
