Last night arrived, and came into harbour, the Trident transport, Capt. Potts, from Boston. She sailed from thence the 2d instant, under convoy of Admiral Greaves, in the Preston man of war and Canceaux armed vessel, but parted company on the 17th instant. Nothing new had happened at Boston, when they left it; but on the day they sailed, as they came down the river, they heard much firing from the shore. Sir William Pepperell and family, and Lieutenant Prior of the 63d regiment came passengers.
