I wrote you some days ago of a schooner's being seized in the road by the Seaford twenty gun ship, who kept possession of her till on my making application to the Governor; he sent a guard of soldiers and took the possession from them; next morning the Seaford sailed, and since that the Governor has sent a flag to the Admiral to know the reason of such insolence: The Burghers were much enraged, and we may now depend on any American bottom in this road being defended to the last, in case of such attempts."
