Williamsburg, September 2.
Major [Robert] Rogers arrived at Norfolk a few days ago; he came passenger in a snow from London, belonging to Baltimore, with 58 passengers on board, in great distress for want of provisions. The Major was put on shore in Accomack, to get some necessaries, but the wind proving unfavourable, the boat could not return to the vessel. It is imagined the snow will put into Philadelphia, as the wind was fair and blew hard.
The snow Unicorn, Hutchinson, belonging to Mr. Martin, of Whitehaven, which brought in the rigging for the new ship Eilbeck, is one of the vessels taken up for Government service, and not Mr. Barraud's brig, she being bound for Glasgow, with a load of wheat.
