Such is the noble spirit of our gallant tars, that on the morning of the second day only, after the opening of the general rendezvous for the crew of the President, there were more than 140 volunteers, who were anxious to follow a favorite officer in pursuit of the numerous privateers that have recently followed our merchantmen to our very harbours--Both the merchant and planter will join us in our wishes for their success.
We congratulate our countrymen on the recent success of Capt. McElroy, who has sent in two privateers within a few days.
