HARROP’s Manchester Mercury, AND GENERAL ADVERTISER. SEPTEMBER, 1755.

Alicant, Aug. 13. From Yvica we have Advice that the two Chebecques, which sailed lately from thence to cruize off the Coasts of Barbary, are returned with four Prizes, viz, an Algerine Brigantine, and three Barks laden with Grain which the Brig. had under Convoy. The Commander of the Brig. was an English Renegado, who fought desperately, and by his vigorous Resistance gave the Crews of the three Barks an Opportunity to get a-shore.
