Last Tuesday two of the enemy's ships took 4 vessels off Montague Point; 3 of which were prizes to Capt. [James] Munro, and some other privateers; the other a merchantman belonging to Connecticut. All the people belonging to these vessels, we hear, took to their boats, and got safe ashore near Stonington.
Last Monday the Continental sloop Providence, Capt. [John Paul] Jones, arrived at a safe port, having, in a cruise of 6 weeks, captured 16 sail of vessels, 6 of which he burnt; among the others is one ship, with 3000 quintals of codfish, some smaller fishermen, and two West-Indiamen.
