Last Saturday we received advice from Christiansand, that at two miles west from that place is arrived a large American privateer, of 28 guns besides swivels, and 160 men. It seems she is come from Dunkirk, and is to be followed by another privateer. The English ships coming from the East country will be in the greatest danger. It is surprising that the Captains of English vessels who are continually going to Dunkirk, do not represent the danger to government and obtain frigates to cruize for their protection, and not suffer themselves to be thus shamefully taken on their own coasts.
