Letters from Rhode-island say, that two of our frigates belonging to the squadron there, being on a cruise, looked into the harbour of Martha's Vineyard Isle, where they saw a large ship which they took to be a prize carried in, and also another vess.el, a sloop; on this they stood in as close as they could, and in the evening cut them both out, and brought them safe off without the loss of a single man.

At the same time [Wednesday last] the cargo of the Aurora, a ship laden with tobacco, of very great value, bound from America to Nantz, was condemned as adroit of Admiralty: She was brought into Liverpool by English sailors on board, who confined the Captain and Master, and entered into a written agreement to stand by King George; and having made a French flag into an English one, hoisted it over the American striped rebel flag, and brought her in as above.
