On Tuesday last the Rosaria Sloop of War, Captain Mounsey, arrived in this River, she convoy'd a part of the Cork Fleet - But does not bring any News of a later date than that which was already in our possession.

A heavy Cannonading was heard in Town very distinctly in the course of Yesterday, soon after which a large Schooner was seen making out to Sea with every thing set and two (apparently) Colony Boats were observed to follow her, from which circumstance, it is much to be feared that an Enemy is on our Coast.

At the time of our Paper going to Press a signal was flying at the Block House for a Fleet, which is most likely to be the Transports with the Troops to relieve the Royals.
