Steplienfon and T'urner, of this Place, in Company with Capt Hopkins of Rh.I{land. Part of a Letter from Capt.

She is called the St. Marcus, Cafter Maulder, Mafter, and has on board 500 Hogfheads of Sugar, fome Coffee, &c. She was bound from St. Domingo to Amflerdam, and when Captain Skinner brought her to, which he did under French Colours, Malder pretended to be a Frenchman, he taking the De Lancey to be a French Privateer, and therefore made no fcruple to fhew his French Papers, which Skinner’s Linguifter greedily laying hold of, Mulder apprehended a Take in; and humbly requefted the Papers to be returned him ; bit the other lefs con- defcending put them into his Pocket, and obliged poor Claus to vifit New Amflerdam inftead of Old. The third of May Capt. Skinner took a French Brig from Hifpaniola, for Carthagena, with zo0 Hogfheads of Sugar on board, and fent her for this Port; but 7 Days after, fhe was retaken by a French Ship of 20 Guns, and 120 Men.

O R T, July 1& ~ Wednefday laft arrived here Capt. Oldfield, in 42 Days from Fyall, who advifes, That about ten Days before his Departure, Capt. Howard came Peflenger there from the Brazils, from whom he re- ceiv’d the following Account, viz. That on his Paflage from England to the Coaft of Africa, in a Letter of Marque Snow, he unfortunately fell in with 7 French Men of War, who carried into Rio Janeiro in the Brazils, and informed him, they were Part of a Squadron confifting of 14 Sail, defigned for the Eaft Indies, but that the other 7 were taken by an Englifh Fleet (the Admiiral’s Name he cannot recolleét) with whom they had an Engagement - That the French were fo very fickly, the Portuguefe would not permit them to land among the Inhabitants but obliged them to retire to an uninhabited Ifland. The Truth of Capt. Oldfield’s Intelligence is not doubted ; and we fhould rejoice to have this fine Pigce of News ¢onfirmed. We are alfo informed by Capt. Oldfield, That the four following Veflels (which were all that happen- ed to be in the Road of Fyall ) were drove a fhore in a hard Gale of Wind, viz. Capt.
