The Roebuck Man of War after being ashore a few Hours, got off again, without Damage. This Morning came up an Express from Lewis Town, informing that the Roebuck last Monday went out to Sea, and was joined by a Ship of 20 Guns: They chased a Schooner inward bound from Hispaniola ashorea little to the Southward of our Capes, where her Cargo is saved. A Schooner from St. Eustatia is got safe into Indian River, and another Schooner was off the Capes from St. Eustatia with 5 Tons of Powder, sent ashore for a Pilot, but was desired to go into Indian-River, where I hope she is safe. The Roebuck and the other Man of War came into our Road on Tuesday with two Sloops, one looks like a Bermudian Vessel, the other a Clump.
