LONDON.
The Edward, Capt. Billby, from the Leeward Islands to Philadelphia, is taken by an American privateer, of 14 guns, and carried into Martinico.
They write from Boston, that five Provincial ships of war, from 18 to 26 guns each, which had been fitted out at that port, are lying in harbour, and cannot proceed to sea, as they cannot get men to man them.
