Last Week arrived at a safe Port, from Martinico, the Privateer Sloop of War, Rover, belonging to Salem, after a Passage of 31 Days; the Captain of which informs, ー That a Privateer fitted out of that Port, by the French, carrying 6 Guns and 25 Men, had captured, and sent into that Place, a large Guineaman, with 300 Slaves on board, a quantity of Elephant's Teeth, and Gold Dust. ー That the American Cruizers sent Prizes into that Port daily, ー That a Privateer Brig, fitted out at Providence, but belonging to Connecticut, had arrived there, and brought in a Snow, from Guinea, having on board 297 Slaves, a Brig laden with Fish, and a Sloop laden with Staves, which were all condemned at that Port.
Yesterday arrived at a safe Port, a Privateer Schooner, commanded by Capt. [Joseph] Cunningham, in a short Passage from the French West-Indies, where she has lately sent in several Prizes.1 We learn that the French Ports are crowded with Cruizers and Merchantmen, belonging to these States, and that all Kinds of Goods are sold at a moderate Price.
