Wednesday last Capt. Daniel Harthorne arrived at Salem from a Cruize. On his Passage he met with an armed Packet, which he attacked. In the Engagement (which lasted two Hours) he lost three Men killed and had 9 or 10 wounded, himself slightly.¹ Since which he has taken and sent into Cape Ann, a Prize Snow, laden with Oats, &c.

A Privateer commanded by Capt. [William] Carleton, which sailed from Salem on a Cruize about a Month ago, was taken near Canso, by the Brig Hope, Capt. Dawson, a few Days after leaving Port, and carried into Halifax. Capt. Carleton, with some of the Crew, made their escape by swimming ashore.²
