Gentlemen We have just received intelligence that there has a fleet of 30 sail of square rigged vessels been seen off between Gray Neck and Eden's Neck, and we thought it best to send you the earliest intelligence. We shall watch their motion, and as soon as we can discover their intention, we shall send further intelligence. We are mustering our militia, and shall do the best in our power. We are, gentlemen [&c.]

Thos: Wickes, Chairman.

P.S. About seven o'clock in the evening we received the intelligence.
