Four Prizes arrived last Thursday at a safe Port,1 to the Southward of this, viz. A Ship, a Snow, a Brig, and a Sloop. The Snow2 is the Prize the Warren Frigates3 took on her Passage round from Providence; but the other three we cannot learn who captured by, what laden with, or where from.
Since our last, arrived in an Eastern Port, a Prize Schooner, taken by a SNAKE Privateer, but whether by the Rattle4 or Black,5 cannot, at present, be ascertained.
We hear from Salem, that on Tuesday se’nnight arrived there, two Prizes, taken by a small Privateer from the Eastward, commanded by Capt. McDaniel, viz, a Schooner laden with Rum and Molasses, bound from Hallifax for Fort Cumberland;6 and a Sloop laden with Salt and dry Goods.
Same day arrived at Salem, a Schooner, taken by a Boat, with six Men. The Schooner was fitted out as a Tender to the Albany,7 commanded by the noted Capt. Mowatt, and was in pursuit of a French Vessel in one of the Eastern Ports, where the Men boarded and carried her, and brought her safe into Port, as above. The Schooner was commanded by one Brown, a Midshipman of the Albany,8 and had eight hands besides, who were brought to this Town, and put on board one of the Guard Ships in this Harbour, on Wednesday last.
