[Liverpool] Sunday, May 19th,
Mr. Gideon White reports that one Doan, of Port Roseway, has, as he has said been brought too by 2 armed vessels, one a 40 gun ship, the other a 10 gun brig. That he was detained some time under their sterns, and in a fog, cut cable and run. He supposes them to be Americans.
