By a Gentleman of undoubted Veracity, who arrived in Town last . Sunday, from Martha's Vineyard, we learn, that the British Pirate Ship, called the Ambuscade, of 32 Guns, commanded by a certain M'Carty,1 lay at Anchor in Holme's-Hole. ー That the said M'Carty had sent several Flags on Shore, begging that his Crew might be supplied, by the Inhabitants, with fresh Provisions, and requesting an Interview with the Committee of that Place; but, that he was refused, receiving for Answer, that they had no Traitors there, nor should they be provided with any Thing, but what they got at the Point of the Bayonet, and Mouth of the Cannon.
Last Sunday arrived at a safe Port from Teneriffe, after a Passage of 25 Days, a large Sloop, laden with Wine and Salt: She is owned in South Carolina.
On Friday, sailed from Salem, from Halifax, the Cartel Vessel, as mentioned to have lately arrived there, commanded by an Officer of the British Navy, in which went a Number of Prisoners.
Yesterday arrived at a safe Port, a Prize Ship, lately captured by the Privateer Lady Washington. She was from Bristol, bound to St. Kitts, laden with Dry Goods, Provisions, &c.2
