For these several Days past we have had Advice here of two Provincial Privateers, mounting 10 and 14 Guns each, cruizing about this Port; and we are very well informed, that they have taken two or three Vessels on this Coast. We expect to hear of the Privaters being taken by some of the English Men of War, as two are on the look-out for them, and will certainly take them, if they can but once get sight of them.
