While Captain Bolitho lay at Spithead, there hap- pened a violent Gale of Wind, by which fome Vef- fels were drove athore. He failed from Portfmouth under Convoy of His Majefty's Ships Arundel and Crown, bound to Louifbourg, who had with them a Number of Tranfports with Srores, and about 40 Sail of Merchantmen, for this Place, New-York and South Carolina, and 1 for Bofton.

BO S T O N, December z5. The following LETTER was wrote by Mon, Clatte- leau, to his Owners in St. Malses. Meflieurs Brelow, Blewen and Deflandrais Selivre, Gentlemen, Merehantsin St. Malo ; Take this Opportunity to let you hear from me, by a Dutch Snow bound from Coracoa to Am- fterdam, which has been taken by a Privateer from New York, out of whofe Hands I delivered her ; and as [ was fearful of occafioning youa Law Suit, I would not fend her away on your Account ; but I have taken an Obligation of the Datch Captain, which you'll find inclofed, by which you will be able to come at him, in Cafe he has the good Fortune to arrive {afe ; and you'll not be liableto any bad Con- fequencies fhould (he mifcarry ; another Reafon for this Behaviour, was my having wo Officers to put on board to condu& him to Port, as there now remains none with me but Mr. Mace, Mr. Du Bois, and my Interpreter ; having difpatched three Prizes to Que- bec ; in oneis Mr. Du Chenim, another Mr. Lablee, and the third is Mr. De Bais, who I took in the Vi@ory ; the firft in her Ballaft, but there is on board her aboat g4oo0o0l. Sterling, in Cloths and Woolins ; the fecond is loaded with Flour andBread, and the third is a Sloop loaded with Rum and Mo- laffes. 1f thofe Prizes have the good Fortune to arrive fafe, I hope they’il neat about zoor 25000 Livres at leaft, 1 have difpatched thelaft the 15th pait; I likewife hope they are arrived at prefcnt. I have taken fince my Cruize 17 Englifhmen, of which Number I have fent away three, ranfomed 7 and burnt 6, and ove that was loaded with- Salt [ have fent away with all the Prifoners. Ii’s a Difad- vantapge to me and them concerned, I had not three Hundred Men and a great Number of Officers ; for I thou!d have rendered great Profit to you and Ho- nour to myfelf. I have met the Guarde Coaft twice ; the is a Veflel of 22 Guns on one Deck, and 8 on her Quarter Deck, but as we fail better than fhe, I wou!d rot engage her, fearing fome un- lucky fhot might pblige me to qujt my Cruoize. I have facrificed my Honour, Gentlemen, to your In- tereft, and be affured I have nothing in view but the Service of the Cencerned: If I had three Hundred Men [ fhouid have been in Philadelphia River, to pick and chafe my Prizes ; there are many to be taken, but of little Value, as the feven I have ran- fomed amount bat to 3400 I Sterling, of which 3000 is to be paid at Cape Francois or at St, Malo : I rather choofe to make them payable at the Cape, as thofe are People that have no Correlpondents in France ; befides that the Cafh being atthe Cape, an Advantage may be made thereby imploying it in Produce, and if only the Exchange fhould be gained thereon, it will give a Profit. I have on board of my thip, the following Merchandize, which I have taken out of the Prizes burnt, viz. 160 Barrels of Pitch. 75 Barrels of Pork, 50 Quintals of Bread, Go Barrels of Flour and 6 Boxes of Soap ; which is very little, but I have takenall I could : If the Pri- zes are not better it is not my fault, for they have given us as much trouble asif they had been valuable. I mult tell you, Gentlemen, that ina few DaysI think to go to St. Domingo, and fhall endeavour in my Paffage for your Interelt. I am cxtremely well fatisfied with the thip, but we are very [Foul; the firlt calm Day I thinkto give her a Heel and clean her a little. I hope you have received my Letters from Quebec, by which you'll fee we parted the 15th, and that I fhunned French and Englith Men of War ; I foundat Cape Rotair fix Englith Men of War, two more the next Day at Cape Ray, which alarmed me fo much that I did not care the Devil carry’d them away, though my fhip ran 12 or 13 Knots with eafe. I hope I fhall hear from you at my arsival at St. Domingo, and I hope you have approved of the Scheme I fent you from Quebeck, for that will deuble your Steck. I conclude, withing you Health; all ourGetlemen are well,nctwithftand- ing they begin to be harraffed with the Cruize, and 1 bave been obliged to put them to Allowance of Water, being thort in that Artlcle.
