The Rebels fire at our men from the height a'bove Bristol ferry, whenever they see four or five of them together; but hitherto no person has been hurt. Indeed we have not had a man killed or wounded since we landed.

The Emerald Frigate is anchored in the passage between this Island, and Prudence Island; another Frigate is stationed above Prudence to prevent any vessel from passing between Connonicut and the Main; and two others are Stationed in the Eastern, or Sekonnet passage, to prevent any vessel from passing at the back of this Island. It is imagined the Rebel Frigates now at or near Providence, will endeavor to escape to Sea.
