WILLIAMSBURG, (in Virginia) May 29. The Otway, Capt. Salifbary, is arrived in five Weeks from Liverpool, and acquaints us, that Ad- miral Saunders had the good Fortane to fall in' with Du Quefne’s Squadron before they reached Cartha- ena, and that he took the whole Fleet ; but two %/'cfl"cls arrived in York River from'Gibralter men- gion his taking only two, which arrived at Gibralter before they failed, and one drove athore : That the largett fhip, the Foudroyant, had 400 Men killed in the Engagement, as fhe was very full of Men, having befides her Compiiment of feamen, 800 foldiers on board. . P HIIL ADELPHIA,Juner. Capt. Richey, who arrived here fince our laft from Briftol, brought in with him a large Letter of Marque Ship, of eight Guns, and 26 Men, called La Veflal, Charles Ratteau Commander, which he fell in with on the 22d of April, 250 Leagues off Uthant, and engaged 5 Hours, in which Time he received no other Damage than a Shot through his Main-maft ; but the Frenchman had his Fore top- maft, Main topgallant maft, and the Head of his Mizen ma# thot away, and fwo of his Guns dif- mounted., She was bound to Canada from Bourde- aux, & failed in Company with 11 other Veflels, under Convoy of a Frigate. Her Cargo confifts of about 700 Barrels of Flour, 200 Barrels of Pork, 200 Cafks. of. Wine, 200 Barrels of Brandy, 100 Calks of Butter, fome Bale Goods, a Quantity of fmall fhot, and qther Things, and it is thought will turn out a very valoable Prize. The Day before Capt. Richey took the above Ship, he met witha 64 Gun- . Man of War, which he took for a large and received his Broadfide, but without .

Our Jo-ge of Admiralty condemns all Duatch- | én whothave the Enemy’s permiflion to Trade, up- wn a ‘prefgmption, that fich a” permifiion’ from the enemy Naturalizes the bottom : Awnd thisis faid to be the praflice of the Admiralty in England.—— Certainly we ought to do allin our Pawer to check the Statia Trade ; for there is little reafon to doubt bot that the French in Canada are fupplied with Provifions from Martinico, which is firt brought to St. Euflatius from Ireland. - According to the Tlalt Calculations, there has been more Beef bronght iuto St. Euftatius, for Twelve months palt, than could be confumed both there and in all thelrench 1{lands.” We hear from Amboy, that on Tuelday laft Col. John Johnflon with One Thoufand Jerfey Soldiers vnder his Command failed from that Place for 3\l- bany. The Regiment was quaite compleat, aud went off in Health and good Spirits. On Monday, the z2d nlt. one Barnabas Tolon was killed and fcalped in Hanover "I'ownihip, Lan- cafter County. And we are weli informed, that 125 Perfons have beea murdered or carried off, from that County, by the Indians, fince the War commenced ; and that three have been fcalped, but are yetalive.

RO N, et g 4ot ) Monday laft being the Aniverfary for the EleQion of Officers of the ancient and honourable Artillery Company, after a Sermon {uitable_to the Occalion, preached by the Rev. Mr. Tbomas Barrard of Salem, the faid Company made Choice of Capt. Neavman Greenough for their Captain, Mr. Fobn Gore, Licut, and Mr. Jsfeph Gale Enfiga for the prefent Year.

A Fifherman arrived at Marblehead lat Week and reports, That fome Time ago, on the Grand Banks he {poke with aVeflel from Liverpool,who inform’d, that we had taken three French Men of War ; but as theWind was brifk,and they paft each other quick, it was uncertain where but tho’t lie faid in the Chan- nel. We hope it is true, but are apt to think it’s only a Confirmation of thofe taken ia the Mediter- ranean, as mentioned under the Williamfburg Head, in this Paper. ’ A Matter of a Veflel from the Welt Indies into Conneéticut informs, That in his Pafiage he fell in with an Englith 74 Gun Ship and two Eoglith Pri- vateers, who inform’d him they were waiting for a Number of Ships they had certain Intelligence had lately failed from Cape Francois ; 2nd thatin a very little Time after he had parted with them, he heard or faw (uncertain which) a fmart Firing ; which gives us Reafon to hope they had fallen in with them— and that fome of the Ameriecan Colonies will be re- paid for the many Veflels taken from themr, By the Return of an Exprefs from Albany Yefter- day we learn, That the Week before lalt Captaid Jacobs’s Enfign went out with 24 Men, within 6 Miles of Ticonderoga, madea Fire, and encamp’d there one Night without fetting Guards ; on feeing the Fire, a Party of the Enemy came upon our Peo- ple, and fir'd two Guns, vpon which Surprize they rofe, when the Enemy fir'd upon them again, and doubtlefs killed feveral of them, as there Were nine Indians and two white Men mifling when the Exprels left Albany.

I need not isform you, 1 fuppofe, how juftly Lord Howe is celebrated here for his robuft Soldier like Centtitution, his bold en- terprizing Spirit, and every other M:litary Accom- plithment ; with how much Care he has been form- ing his Regular Troops to the Method of Bufh-fight-- ing all this Seafon, fo that he has now, itis faid, made them as dextrous at it almoft as the Rangers— In order to this he has order’d ail the Coats of his Regiment to be cat fhort, to make them as light as poffible ; and has facrificed a fine Head of Hair of his own, as an Example to the Scidiers, which they have all follow’d, fo that not a Man is to be feen with his own Hair. The Strength of his Conftitu- tion enables him to undergo all Hardfhips, and tis his Opinion that every Officér ought to be able :o do the Tame, and to-live and fare like the common Men—To this End he has forbidden his Officers all fupernumery Baggage, when they march into the Enemy’s Country, as being only a ufelefs Incum- brance to the Army, bas allow’d them only{o much Cloaths as may b fuflicient, and no Pravifions but thofe which proceed from the Commiffaries ; and, 1 hear, has put two or three Officers under an Arreft for refufing to obey thefe Commands, and ‘tis very likely they will be broke for fetting a bad Example to the Army—His Soldiers love and fear him, and willingly comply with his Commands, becaufe he firft fets them the Example —What great Things $iight not a few Officers like Lord Howe effedt, with an Army of fuch Men !” By a Velel from Lifbon, arriv’d at Marblehead, we hear that his Majefty's Ship Prince George, of 9o Guns, Admiral Broderick, bound to Gibraltar, accidentally took Fire at Sea, by which fhe was en- tirely lof, and all on board perifh’d, except the Admiral and about zoo Men, who were taken up by another Ship.
