Bridgewater had Money and Goods alfo. Beforeour Departure from Gerya, we fold 4 Elephents to Roi- mage-Poft, the Maratta General for 100,000l. and we have heard fince we came here, ‘that the Admiral has found two Tons of Gold, one of Silver, two Tons' and a half of Elephant’s Teeth, and one Ton of ‘Quick Silver, befides feveral Bales of rich Goods. ‘T'he Money we bro't here with us weighed 10 Tons, ~We here imagine, thac this Prize will be more con- fiderable than Lord Anfon’s. Perhaps it will not be amifs to give you fome Account of this famous Pyrate: Know then, that Angria’s Great Grand-father was a General under the Great Mogul, and in going oné of his annual Rounds, as is caftomary in thefe Parts, to _ Jevy the Taxes for his Emperor, he found he had a \ powerfal Army, and a fufficient Sum of Money, to take upon himfelt the regal Authority : In Confe- uence of which he fhook off his Alegiance, and took Pofleflion of Genya, and as he became more Formida- ble, he begaun the bonc/? Trade of Pyracy, which was carried on by his Son, Grandfon, and this prefent Angria ; till this his fatal Downfall ; who entered into Treaties, and received Ambafladors with Pcmp Pun&uality, and Grandeur, as any Prince in the known World. Another Letter from Bombay, dated March 15, fays, ¢ Gheria, late the capital fittlement of the famous Pirate Angria, is finely fituatcd, and at a very little ex pence may be made impregnable : The barbiurisa prodi- gious fine one, from which runs a noble river, awhere for 40 miles up the country thereis depth of water enough for ips of large burthen, awhich muft make it a fine trading port. Angria bimjelf is flill a pr ifoncr among the Mo- rattoes. As we hawe been fo Juccefiful againft this pyrate ( who for fo many years bas becn a terror fo this tart of India, and the ruin of numbers ) Imake no doubt but in another tavelvemonth the avhule race of thefe willains awill fhare bis fate, whick, as joon as matters can be a little Jerthid at Gheriah, will, 1 belice, be immediately attempted.” : ANNAPOLIS, in Maryland, Dec. 27. About three Weeks ago a Dutchman and Woman were found fcalped intheRoad,between IfaacRaker’s, and the Temporary Line; and lalt Friday {e’rnight one William Gilliland was fhot through the Head, and fcalped by an Indian, who had concealed himfelf near the Road, about a Mile and a Half on this Side Fort Frederick.

On the Keport of the Indian’s Gun, one Ogilvie, and twa other Mén, who were in the Houfe of one Thompfon, on whofe Plantation the Accident happened, ran out and found the Indian handling his fcalping Knife, bat being unarmed, they did net offer to interrupt him. - December 30.
