On Monday arrived here a Sloop from Port au Prince, loaded with sugar, molasses and coffee.
Mr. Adam Holms, who left New-Port last Saturday morning says, "That a ministerial pirate had taken a schooner near Block Island and carried her off; and likewise chased two sloops, who ran ashore, but have since got off."
One of the Philadelphia prize ships is arrived at Marthew's Vineyard. Her cargo consists of 302 hogsheads of sugar, some rum, &c.
Captain Clapp, who is just come to town, gives an account, that a sloop belonging to New-Brunswick, from Curacoa, was drove on shore by one ofthe ministerial pirates a little to the southward of Shrewsbury. The crew got on shore, and by the assistance of the country people drove the pirates off. Her cargo consists of dry goods, and about 300 bushels of salt, which is since safely landed.
