A Brig belonging to this Port, arrived last Sunday safe in a Harbour on Long Island, with a valuable Cargo from Lisbon, chiefly consisting of Powder and Salt. The Captain informs us, that a large French Fleet lay off Cape St. Vincent's, and that two British Frigates were cruizing about to watch their Motions. Another brig, also Belonging to this Port, in Company with him, was taken by one of the British Pirates, off Bermuda.
Every Tide we expect an Attack will he made on this City from the piratical Fleet at Staten-Island.
