Two of our fishermen, who came on shore yesterday, say, that about seven leagues off, at sea, they were on board of an American privateer of fourteen carriage guns, and about eighty men. She was called the Revenge, and they said they had taken five prizes since they had been out from Salem, to which place they belonged: 'tis supposed they were waiting for the coaster's coming and going round the Land's End, some of which are worth a good deal of money.
