We hear that the Yankey Hero Privateer this Week took a Provision Vessel bound to Boston, which has had a short Passage from England ー A number of Letters were found on board for the ministerial Officers in Boston, which were sent to Head-Quarters at Cambridge.
Advice it is said has been received by the above Vessel, that Mr. [Edmund] Burke had moved the House of Commons for Leave to bring in a Bill empowering certain Persons to treat with the Honorable Continental Congress, which passed in the Negative by a Majority of only 5, and that a Day was appointed for reconsidering the Motion.
Wednesday last the ministerial Fleet went down the Bay, and anchored off Conanicut, where they still remain.
