Captain Smedley had an engagement with two Ships for four Glasses, but their metal being too heavy, he quitted them. Mr. Lewis has favored us with Bristol prints to the first of February, taken in the above Brig from which we have extracted the following ... That Captain Brown in the Privateer Sloop Charming Sally, and Capt. E[Ieazer] Johnson in the Dalton, are taken and carried into Plymouth; and that Argo, Ward, & Betsey, Lebras, bound to Bilboa, are taken and carried into Lisbon.

By a vessel in 45 days from Nantz in France we learn, That the privateer which carried Dr. Franklin, since the two prizes formerly mentioned, has taken and carried into some port in France, five others, one of which we hear was a Lisbon packet.⁴
