NEW-Y ORK, January 23. The Harriot Packet, Captain Bonnel, arrived at Falmouth from hence before Captain Rand failed. In Lat. 49, 30, Lon. 10, 30, W. from London, Captain Bonnel was attacked by a French Priva- teer of 18 Guns and 2qo Men, which he beat off, and got clear ; havirg difabled him fo much in his Rigging, that he could not give Chace. Captain Bonnel, in the Aétion, hada Ball lodged in his Breaft, Mr. Williamfon, a Paflenger, the Carpenter, Second Mate, and two Seamen, were wounded, but not mortally. Wednefday laft Captain Nufum arrived herein 42z Days from Teneriff - During his Stay there, a Gentleman informed him, that one of the Weftern Iflands called Fyal, had lately been feparated by an Earthquake, infomuch that it appeared like two Iflands ; that Numbers of the Inhabitants perifhed by the Concuffion ; and that many Vintages were confequently overthrown. His Majefty’s Ship the Norwich, Captain Darby, failed from San- dy-Hook, a few Days ago, for Virginia, witha Number of Ships that lately arrived here from Cork, under her Convoy : She isto remain a few Days at Virginia, and take under her Protetion, all the Veflels that may be ready to depart from that Province, for the different Ports of England, &c. Laft Saturday Morning arrived here, in 4 Weeks from St. Kitts, but laft in 18 Days from Anguilla, the Schooner , Capt Wil. lard : He informs us, that Commodore Moore had fent Word to all the Dutch lflands in the Weft Indies, that he intended to block up the French [flands, and that if he catcht any of them fupplying the Enemy with Provifions, he would make Prizes of them ; and would feize all that he fulpeéted to be Dutch coming out of French Ports. B O S T.O .N,. Febroary z. + By a Letter which came in the Halifax Packet, dated at Carmar. ford, in the County of Cornwall, Novemb. zoth, we are inform'd, That the Snow Fly,Capt. James Beach, of this Place, bound for Briftol, was caft away on the 11th of that Month, at a Place call’d St Gannis, on the Coaft of Cornwall, within 7 Leagues of Lunday, # a very hard Gale of Wind which lafted 3 Days, having the Misfortune to be drove afthore in a molt difmal Place, where there were nothing but Clifts of Rocks, and the People like Savages.—Mr. Henry We. thred, with the Chief Mate, and two of the People were drowned ; and it was with the greateft Difficulty, that the Captain with four of his People faved their Lives, but were drove away deftitute of every Thing, —The Veflel was not two Hours on the Rock, before fhe was in a2 Thoufand Pieces ; and to increafle their Diftrefs, the Coun- try came down, and took all that came on Shore.—~The zd Day af. ter the Veflel wasloft, a Gentleman who liv'd about 7 Miles Diftapce, came to the Captain’s Affiftance, and brought People with him ; by which Means about 50 Barrels ot Tar, about four Tons of Legwood, and fome Rigging, were faved.—Had it not beenfor the abovemen- tioned Gentleman’s coming to their. Affiftance, they thought they fhould have been forced from the Wreck, or been every one kill’d by the Country .—Three other Veflels were loftin the fame Gale of Wind within fix Leagues of them. The Ship Thames, Capt. Smith, from London for this Place, which has been a mifling Veflel for fome Time, is mentioned in a Letter, which came by the Earl of Halifax Pacquet, to a Gen- tleman in this Town, to be taken by the French. i KINGSTON, in Jamaica, Odober 15. Tuefday arrived at Port-Royal, from a cruize, his Majefty’s fhips Afliitance and Lynn, and broaght in with them a French privateer floop, carrying 8 carriage and 10 {wivel guns, and had 85 men on board at her czptare ; alfo a French brigantine, of about go tons burthen, bound from St. Domingo to Bourdeaux, load- ed with fugar, rum, coffee, with about 7 tons of indico ; fhic had alfo a pair of double fortified cannon, 6 pounders, lately belenging to a French privateer brig, Capt. Noe, fiom Porto Prince, and who lately took the Captains Smith and Connel, commanders of privateers from this ifland, but blew up on endeavouring te efcape being boarded by the above men of war, by which accident only 30 men were faved out of her whole company, being 180. : Thur(day arrived a French flag of truce from the Miflifippi, who brought 5o prifoners, belonging to fun- dry merchant veflels, &c. moft of which were landed 2t Montega-Bay. : : e : O&ober 22. By a French flag ef truce from the Mififippi, we have the following lift of prizes carried in there. _ ; ; Ship Ann, Curtis, from Jamaica ta London ; flocp Ranger, Stevenfon, from the Bay to New-York ; brig Swallow, Young, belonging to Befton, from the Bay to Holland ; floop William, Bull, of Rhede lfland, frem Jamaica to Georgia ; fhip Lancafter, Auflin, of Barba- dos, from the Bay to Londen. i By a flag of trace from Porto Prince, Capt. Curtin, we learn that the Little john, Capt. Ayres, from Briftol and Cork, loaded with beef, butter, and dry goods, and bound for this ifland, was taken the sth of September lat off Cuba, by a French fchooner privateer, of 8 car- riage and 10 fwivel guns, and ;@ men ; Capt. Ayres came down in the flag of trace. There failed about 15 days before the above, the brig Elizabeth, Captain Grace, bound alfo for Jamaica, which ’tis feared has been likewife taken by the French. The fame even- ing the flag of truce left Porto Prince, a ichooner, be- longing to Conneflicut, was brought in there. We hear that the French now on Hifpaniola are in the greatet diftrefs ; thatche yellow fever rages viclently among them, which, together with their want of pro- vifions, fweeps off multitudes ; thac the whole ifland is ferrounded with Erglith privateers; and that by the vigilance of Commodore Forreft’s continually cruizing with the fleet off and on Monto Chrifto, no vefiel can pullibiy get into the Cape, nor can any dare to {tir out, although there are upwaids of 100 fail of merchant vef- fels ready for the fea in that harboar, fo that we hope foon to hear of fome important blow being ftruck in that quarter, as it is deemed almolt impoflible for the French fleet to ftay much longer in there, without at- tempting their Paffage to Europe ; in which cafe we doubt not, but the greateft part of them will fall into tlie hands of our Iquadron cruizing there. - Same eveping came to Kingfton the floop Nancy, Capt. Hugh Stewart, who was taken the 14th inftant off Port- Antonio, by a French privateer brig, mounting 14 carriage and 20 {wivel guns,with 140 men ; when after detaining the iloop four Days, Capt. Stewart ranfomed her for goo piftetes. Yefterday morning arrived from a cruize at Port- Royal, his Majefty’s floop Storke, Carteret, Efq; commander, and brought in with him a large prize floop, deeply laden with Rum, Sugar and Coffee.
