Last Sunday Morning safely arrived at Marblehead, a Prize Ship from Jamaica, with a Cargo of Sugars, Cotton, &c. She was chased by the Milford Frigate, who being fired upon from one of the Forts there, put out again; and on Monday took a Brig (said to be a Prize bound for Salem)¹ and a Schooner and Sloop from the Eastward, for this Port, laden with Lumber, &c.
