gained by preffing upon the
French, whole ccntic, as dated
in the lad Paris papers, was re
treating to cover the paffage of

'which is well appointed and ex

Rhine, or to force them to an
other engagement, which it is
hoped, will decide the fate of
the campaign.
The adions which took place

“ This day arrived at this I

others, and on the night of the I

CHARLESTON, May 3o. I
A number of American vef- I
ifels have lately been captured K
by the Britilh, coming fiom La H
Vera Ciuz, three of which be- I
long to this port. The pretence I
lor capturing them is, the old fl
flory, of our not having a right I ■;
to go from one Spanifh port to ■
another. Another pretence is, f |
’ that fome of ihe peifons to whom B
I the vcflels belong, were bom II
fubjefts of the king of Great- H
I Britain ; therefore it is not po- B
per that they (hould fupplythe B
enemies of his Britannic majef- »
