One day last week-arrived here a sloop from Nantucket, which, on her passage, was fired upon three times, off Seconet-point, by an officer in a boat belonging to the sloop Swan, James Ayscough commander: The third time he fired, the shot went within six inches of Mr. Starbuck's and Mr. Fish's bodies; they went along side of the Swan; and informed Capt. Ayscough of the behaviour of his officer, who, according to custom, laid the blame on his officer, and took no further notice of the matter.
