JOHN's (in Antipua) June 25, 1760 Extret of a letter jrom an Jfcer on board tpe drundel frigate, dated Prince Rapers’s Bay, Domnimize,’ Fane 16, 1760, Siinad RE " oA « N Sunday.the t5thinftant, as his Majefty’s fhips O Lancafter, Crefcencand Arundel lay, at anchor ,c, the Captains of the faid fhips received intellizence en Englith Polaces lying under the guns of Rofean, which Kad Been'taken by fome French privateérs, and carried thitherfor prote@ion. Capt. Man, Capt, Col- lingwood, and Capi. Middleton, on confulting together, thought {o great an infule ought not to be overlooked ; and therefore refolved to fend their boats to cut her out : The boats to be covered by, the Arundel and Antigua floop. Accordingly the Lancalter’s barge, the Crelcent’s barge, the Arundel’s barge and cutter, Lieut, Dancer of marines, a fejeant, corporal, and ten marines (the e & whiole under the command “of Mr. Philpor, #&ing Tiedtenant on board whe Arundel) fec ous r;om Prince Rupert’s bay at 8 o’clock in the evening, and.arrived at Rofesu Ly 4 the next morning. The Polacca had failed the night before, in company with 3 privateers’; but there {till remained 4 vefiels at anchor, three of which ‘the bosts boarded and bro’t off; without the lofs of a man ; notwithflanding a very {mart ficiog from the batteries and breaftworks on fhore ; The cother veflel, which was a privateer, would alfo have been brought away, had not the, as foon as the alarm was giveh, cuc hef €ible and run athore. 3 e g Py ¢ As the boats were running to Prince Rupert's bay, they {aw a pettiaugre, under French colours, at snchoy at St. Jofeph’s ; Capt. Middleton therefore ordered the Creicent’s and Arundel’s bosts to ftand in fhore and cut her out ; but the French fufpeting their defign, cut her cibles and let her drive on the beach, where fhe bulged : The boate, however, attempted to tow her off, but in vain; which being obferved by Capt. Middleton, and the enemy all the while keeping & brifk fire from their intrenchments, he made the figasl for the boats to return ; but being refolved to give fome further cheftifement to thofe infulting inhabitants, Capt. Mid- dleton fent Licutenant Dancer (who was a volunteer on this occafion) with a party of men on fhare, with orders - to burn the firlt houfe they came at; which orders the Lieutenant put in execution, by burning the whole town. The great difficulty Lieut. Dancer had to" encounter in enterprize,-was at the landing ; for as the furf run high, and the beach was covered with large ftones, the boats could not ground, and the men were obliged to jump into the fes, and wade afhore up to their necks in water ; being all the while expofed to & very hat fire from the encmy’s breaft works, which kiiled and wound- ed 10 men out of 28 ; but no fooner were the party’ formed upon the beach, than they ran up to the enemy’s breait works, drove them away, purfued them through the town, and immediately reduced it to afhes. . Lieut. Dancer’s conduét on this occafion was greatly gpproved of by Capt. Middleton and »ll the Englifh fpectatoss. The lofs the enemy havefuftsined is faid to be very confiderable ; feveralgof the houfes that werc burnt being full of dry goods, coffee, &c. Fuly 8. His Majefty’s fhip Levant, Capt. Fucker, has taken and lent in & French privateer belonging to Mayiineco, of 8 carriage guns and 60 men. Oan Sunday arrived here his Majefty’s {loop Antigua, from a cruize, in which fhe has taken five veflels alone, and been in company at the taking of eight others ; iwo of which were privateers. . Capt. Rowley, of his Misjefty’s fhip Montague,arrived here on Monday with 3 Freach privateers and a floop. One of the privateers mounts 14 guns, and cairies 120 men, PORTSMOUTH Extra& of a Letter from a Gentleman at Crown Point, to his Friend in Port{mouth,dated Aug. 10.1750. ¢¢ #F YROWN POINT is a pleafant Place = that ( s which is called thePoint, is form'd by the Lake on the N.
