In a Letter from Barbados by Capt. Rogers, there is the following Paragraph, viz. ‘“ By a Letter from Guadaloupe, dated O&tober ¢, we are informed, that a Xebeck isarrived at Martineco from Marfeilles, of 22 nine " Pounders, 1 cighteen Pounder, and 300 Men ; and that fhe, a Frigate, and a Sloap of 14 f{ix Pounders, are to go out on a Cruize in Confort, 1 am afraid they will do much Mifchiet, as the Xebeck rows with 43 QOars. Therearetwo more Xebecks of the fame Force daily expeét- ed from Marfeilles.” Since our laft Capt. Strokes came to Town. He was bound to New York from Dablin, but taken by a Privateer Schooner from Louis- burgh, and carried in there. He was very ill ufed, being ftiipped of every Thing that was valuable ; and the Crew of the Privateer were fo naked, that they cut up his Sails to make Trowfers of them. Deamb. 33, There are 24 Privateers belonging to Guadaloupe, and feveral others fitting out.

Extral? of a Letter from Fort Cumberland, dated Decemb. 9. 17586, “ We have had (everal Skirmithes on this Quarter with finall {cout- L ing Par:ies lait Fall, and generally te the Advantage ofour Troops. “ The French and Indians,about two Months ago concerted a fool- ith Scheme for taking this Fort by Stratagem. T'he Indians were to “ have been the principal AQors. They propofed coming with a Flag of " T'ruce, under Pretence of making Peace, and during the Conferences, which, according to their Politicks, were to be carried on in the Fort, " a large Party, to confilt of 200 French, and as many Indians were to rufh on the Place from the neighbouring Woods, 2nd have their En- trance, facilitated by the Savages, who imagined themfelves admitted under Colour of Treating ; but their Defigns proved abortive, by the ‘3. taking of two of their Spies ; I mean, were laid afide, or fulpended on that Aceount. However, their Attempt muft have failed atany Rate; for we expeét no Indians to come near us, with a friendly Intention, excepta few Catawba's who wear a diftinguifhing Mark; and if others arc tamiliar enough to pay us a Vifit, they may depend on as warm a Reception as the true Hearts of honeft Soldiers can give them. “¢ This Place is much ftrengthen’d lately.
