Murray fpoke with his Majelt;’s floop Albany, off the Capes of Virginia, having under convoy 7 Sail of T'ranfporis with T'roops from New- York, bound to South Carolina, all well. BOS T ON, April 14 For fome Time paft we have been concern’d about feveral miffing Veflels, viz. Capts. Bradford and Sher- rad from London, and Capt. Sloper frem Briftol ; who fail’d the middle of November laft bound to this Port :—But laft Tuefday Night, Capt. Brown, who was a Paflenger on board Capt. Bradford, came to Town from Newbury, where he arrived in 18 Days from Euflatis, and informs, that from the firft of December to the laft of January, Capt. Bradford was beating upon the Coat endeavouring to get in, and had once got within cight leagaes of Cape Cod ; but the violent North- Weft Winds fucceflively com- ing on, and the Weather extreme cold, they were obliged to tand sway for the Welt Indies; and fometime in February laft, intending for Antigua, he was attacked by a French Privateer Sloop of 12 Car- riageGuns, a Number of Swivels, and about 100Men, with which he ftoed an Engagement two Hours,and would have beat her off, had not a Calm come on, when the Privateer got out her Qars, and kept under the Ship’s Quarters, fo that fhe-could not bring her Guns to bear upon them ; and the Enemy keeping an inceflant ‘Fire upon them, tore the Ship very much ; and the Men being much fatigued, and fome of their Joints Froft bitten, they were obliged to fur- render, having ftood a brave Refiftance as long as they were able: The Enemy, as fome of them gave cut, had 1z Men killed, and fome wounded.— None of Capt, Bradford's Men were kill’d, and only a Pal- fenger, (Capt. Phillips of this Town) flightly wound- ed.—The Enemy carried Capt. Bradford into Mar- tineco, from whence he was releas’d, with Capt. "Brown, Capt. Phillips, and others, who got to Gua- daloupe, and from thence to Euftatia, who may be ezpetted by the firf-Opportunity. —The Enemy took from Capt. Bradford’s People all they had except the Cloaths that were upon them.—That Capt. Sloper from Brifto!, was al{o blown off this Coaft, and taken and carried into Mariineco, by two Privateers before Capt. Bradford was.—And, by Capt. Kitchen in a London Ship, who arrived at Guadaloupe from Barbados, they were informed, That Capt. Sherrad, who wasalfo beat off this Coaft, had arrived at that Mland, his Ship very much fhattered, and great Part of his Cargo damag’d ; that in the hard Gales they met with, they were obliged to cut away her mizen Matft, and throw their Guns overboard ; and when Capt. Kitchen was at Barbados, they ‘were furveying the Goods taken out, to eftimate the Damage: and that Capt. Sherrad ‘was refitting, and hoped to be ready to fail by the 12th of March, with a convoy that was appointed to fee the Veflels outward bound clear of the Iflands.— Capt. Brown slle informs, of feveral Veflels be longing to thele Parts being lately taken and carried into Martineco, viz. Capt. Bruce in a Ship from this Place bound to Antigus, Capt. Bryant, allo from this Port, and Capts. Turel and Cook from Salem. He aifo fays, That fome of the French People gave out, that they intended to.come and cruizs off thefe Coalfls. The London Prints mention, That the Kingfton . from New-York, is arrived at Liverpool, having thrown part of her Cargo over board in bad Weather.... That the America, Warner, from Bofton, for London, who failed with the lalt convoy, was taken the 1gth of December, and carried into Bay- onne, by a Privateer belonging to that Port. Capt Gilbert informs, That 14 Days after he fail'd from Lifbon he was mec with and taken by a Freach Frigate cruifing off the Wellern Iflands, and ranfomed for £ 8oo Sterling. He alfo informs that one of the New York Packet Boats was allo lately taken by the fame Frigate and ranfomed ; but whether fhe was bound to or from New York, is yet uncertain, but moft likely the Former ; asthe Harriot Packet Boat, Capt. Bonnel, left Falmouth the 2o0th of January laft® and was not arrived at New-York when the laft Poft came from thence.—The General Wall Packet Boat fail'd from New-York the 18th of February laft ; fo that fhe could have been out but about 10 Days when Capt. Gilbert left Lifbon. Yefterday/Capt.Reed arrived here from Penob(cott, in whom came four Indian Chiefs of that Tribe, in order to T'reat with this Government for a lafting and honourable Pcace. We hear there are now 28 of that T'ribe, Men, Women, and Chiidren at Fort Pownall.
