A Letter fyom Capt. Morgan of the Unity Transport, arrived at Halifax, says, "...Off the Isle of Sable, early in the Morning, we saw a Schooner, which seemed inclined to speak with us; about Noon she was only Half a Mile from us, when she fired a Shot to bring us too; she had hoisted no Colours notwithstanding she fired a Shot; we were surprized at this, and could therefore hardly think she was one of our armed Schooners, as the Officer would certainly know his Duty better; we accordingly brought too, but took Care also to get all the Soldiers up, and in Arms, and had them all ready under the Quarter-deck, and out of Sight; she ran under our Stern, and bade us strike to the Congress; on which having four Guns abaft, (all we had on board) we complimented her with a Couple; she then kept on our Bow, and seemed inclined to board us, our Soldiers immediately went forward, and gave them such a Discharge of small Arms, that she found she had caught a Tartar. I believe we killed them five Men at this Fire. She then shot a-head of us, in order, I believe, to consider what to do; the Determination was to leave us, which they did by steering away South, whilst we kept on for Halifax Harbour, not having suffered the least Hurt. The Schooner had ten Guns, and I believe upwards of fifty Hands.["]

A Gentleman is just arrived from Bermuda, and has brought with him a Virginia Gazette, which mentions, that the Goods of the West-India Ships, lately taken being sold, the Owners of the Privateers shared 5000 l. each, and each Sailor had for his Share 500 l. It also adds, that this great Success has infused into most a Spirit for Privateering; and they are fitting out a great Number, in Hopes of picking up many of the next West-India Fleet.
