Court and Port Moves in War News and Privateer Actions
Yesterday the Hon. Mir. Shaw Cathcart was introduced to his Majesty and set out for Portsmouth to volunteer for America. General Howe instructions were signed for transmission by Major Cuyler to New York. Sir Joseph Yorke presented a memorial to the States General over five new Indiamen converted to 50 gun ships. The Susannah was captured by an American privateer with eight carriage guns, with 14,000 moidoves and wines aboard, steered toward Bilboa. Other vessels were taken, privateers active off Cork and Bilboa. Newfoundland reports say ten American privateers cruised the Banks, taking several vessels and sending some captured ships to Boston.
