The Virginia Gazette

From Marblehead we have certain Advice, That a Fishing Schooner belonging to that Place, spoke with Commodore Warren, in his Majesty's Ship the Superbe of 60 Guns, the Mermaid and Launceston of 40 Guns being in Company, the 9th Instant, That being informed by the Fishermen that our Land and Sea Forces were departed for Cape Breton, he took the Skipper, one Chapman, and another good Man, out of the Fisherman, as Pilots, and ordered the Schooner to lay by, that he might send Advices to the Governor at Boston; but the Night proving very Foggy they lost Sight; whereupon the Schooner returned the next Day to bring this Advice ; so that we may conclude the Commodore with the other Ships are gone to Cape Breton, which doubtless will add to the Spirits of our Forces, and render the Reduction of that Place the more easy.
