By another Letter from Glasgow we are informed, that the Oxford Transport from Clyde, with Part of the 42d Regiment, has been taken by the Provincials. As she was standing in for Boston a Vessel with 16 Guns bore down upon her, took out all the Officers and Arms, and put some of their own Sailors on board to navigate her. The Highlanders were no sooner out of Sight of the Privateer than they compelled their new Masters to alter their course, and swore they would put every one of them to Death, unless they either carried them to Lord Dunmore, or to some other Place where they might meet with some Ship or Ships of War belonging to his Majesty; but unfortunately for these brave Fellows; a small Sloop with a few Swivels took them a second Time, and they now languish in Captivity at Williamsburgh. ー The same Letters add, that it was confidently reported that two other Transports, with Part of Fraser's Highlanders, were taken also.
We hear from Bourdeaux, that a very considerable American trade is carried on there, and has continued since the beginning of the present disputes with our Colonies. About 15 days ago, a fine Bermudian sloop sailed for Philadelphia, having 20 tone of gunpowder on board.
