; flic tired a (hot over us, and hoifted French
colors. We accordingly hove tco, and the
| captain went on board w ith all neccfl'ary
papers. The b®ats crew were detained on
board the privateer, and the boat manned
with privateerfmen, and fent on board the
barque for plunder. In thf mean time the
remainder of ©ur crew were ordered on
hoard the privateer, and threatened with
flogging, from the captain down to the
boy. One of the hands was-brought to the
: gun, with a rope round his neck, for the
purpofe of extorting from him on avowal
; of money or papers which might be con
, cealed. When on the point, however, of
I putting their purpofe in execution, thofe
on board, hailed the privateer, and faid
they had found the money. The man was
then releafed. The captain was likev. ife
threatened, and they wers on the point of
lafhing his hands, when the beat came a
lotig fide with the money, which drew their
attention from him to a more pleating ob
ject. The boat was then manned with a
frefli fet of robbers, and kept ccnflantiy
! plying between the barque and privateer,
• unti 7 1*. m. during which time they rob
bed us of 1300 dollars in fpecie, belonging

Boston, July 4.
By our lateft accounts from Europe, ;hc
treaty of alliance between Great-Britain and
the Northern Powers, was not tin ally con
c'uded, and it wai corje&ured that forrte
important points were yet uuder difcuflon.
Several appearances, which a fhort time
fmte feemed to indicate active and imme
diiie hoftilir.es, have ia n great rreafurc
