Frost, and some Snow.

A boat with a Lieutenant and 5 men belonging to a Rebel Privateer Sloop of 10 Guns, came on shore this morning on part of Brenton's neck. They were immediately seized by some of the troops quartered there, and brought to Headquarters. The vessel They belong to is off the point of the Eastern Main, and they were sent on shore by the Captain of her to obtain intelligence of the British, but did not know the town was in our possession. Orders were immediately sent to The Cerberus Frigate, which lay off Fogland Ferry in the Seconnet passage, to go in quest of her; and accordingly she slipt her Cable and went to Sea.

As the Alfred and her prizes are daily expected in, orders have been given to hoist the Rebel Colours upon the appearance of any vessels. The Ships in the harbour have struck their Colours, and the Commodores their broad pendants.
