The American Privateers have ventured amongst the Islands; one of them being at Martinique when Dr. N————, was there in a Flag of Truce, slipt out in the Night after him, and took him in the Channel. The Captain of the Privateer landed the Doctor and his Brother at an Out Bay at Martinique, who repaired to the General and made a formal Complaint, which was so well received, that the General ordered the Agent for the Congress to pay them immediately for their Vessel, Slaves, &c. or he would stop every American that was in the Island. Another of these Freebooters took several English Vessels near Guadaloupe, and sent them into the Ports of that Island, all of which the Captains ransomed, except one. This coming to the Ears of the General, he ordered the Privateer not only to give up every Vessel and Cargo, but to pay back the Ransom Money, and at his Peril to presume interrupting any English Vessel in the Neighbourhood of that Island for the future.
