Portsmouth, Feb. 8.

Yesterday arrived at Spithead his Majesty's Ship Raven, from a Cruize. Came into the Harbour the Trial, Wilson, from London for Africa; also the St. Thomas, a Privateer, of six Carriage and six Swivel Guns, belonging to Dieppe, taken by the Hazard.

The London Chronicle Tuesday February 8, 1757
