On Thursday se'nnight, in a heavy gale, the Tyger carried away her fore-mast and main-top mast, and with much difficulty reached port.
On this vessel came passenger, Major Edward Pulfom an officer in the late American army, who has been on a visit to the latter place, and whose reception has been unexaggeratingly represented in our papers heretofore.
Nothing can exceed the pleasure which the sons of British America take in abusing and dishonouring the character of an American, particularly those who "dared to signalize themselves in the field." In the van of which pusillanimity, the miscreants, self plumed "loyalists," are conspicuous.
