On Friday last arrived here from Martinico, the Continental ship of war the Reprisal, Lambert Weeks, Esq; Commander. On board of said ship came passengers several French Officers, who we hear are strongly recommended to the Honourable the Congress by the Governor of Martinico. One of them it is said is an accomplished Engineer.
Since our last a vessel arrived in this port with 2000 bushels of salt. The whole of it was immediately bought up by a respectable merchant of this city, who is now selling it out in small quantities, at a very moderate advance, for the benefit of the public.
Yesterday the Continental brig of war Andrew Doria, Captain Biddle, returned here from a cruize. We hear she has taken four prizes, viz. a ship and a brig, from Virginia, a [brig] from North Carolina; and a brig from Barbados for Newfoundland, which were ordered for any port they could get in to the Eastward.
