Flood, a Number of Men from the Town was put on board the Ship for her Defence, and the Country being alarmed, came chearfully in for the Defence of the Town. In the mean Time the Inhabitants re- moved their most valuable Effects, &c.
On Friday we had Advice that the Privateer at- tempted to land some Men at Elsingborough, but the Country for some Miles round, having been alarmed the Day before, and a Number of People appearing under Arms, ready to oppose them, the boats put back again, without Accomplishing their Design.
A Boat belonging to one of these Sloops was given to about 27 Prisoners to carry them to the Jer- sey Shore.

Hinsley, bound from Virginia to Bristol; that on the 25th she came to an Anchor in Hoar kill Road, and they used all their en- deavours to get a Pilot to carry her up into the River, but in vain ; and a Sloop standing in for the Road, she weigh'd and gave chase to her, but the Sloop stood out again and got clear ; during the Chase they saw a large Brigt, which stood toward them, and proved to be another French Privateer, commanded by Capt. Berneau, with 180 Men, 14 carriage Guns and 30 Swivels, in 33 Days from Cape Francois, during which Time they had taken 6 Prizes. Standing in again for the Shore, they saw two Sloops lying at Anchor in Townsend's Inlet, about 16 Miles Northward of Cape May ; and manning out their two Boats, they sent them in to take them, which was done accordingly.
A Boat belonging to one of these Sloops was given to about 27 Prisoners to carry them to the Jersey Shore. While they were on board the Clinton, they learnt that she had been out from Cape Francois be- tween 8 and 9 Weeks, and had taken eleven Prizes, five of which they had (brought) out of Ocricot, in North Carolina ; and that there were then fourteen Sail of Privateers cruizing between Sandy-Hook and South Carolina.

Wednesday last arrived here the Privateer Brig Castor, Capt. Arnold, of this Port from a Cruize of about 11 Months, but without any great Success ; which we hear is chiefly owing to her being a heavy Sailer.
