Yesterday seventy-three chests of silver, taken on board the
Pierre-Joseph by his Majesty's ship the Squirrel, was
brought to the bank, guarded by the officers and crew of the
said ship. As the treasure found in this prize is the most
to the captors that has been taken this war, and they have
met with speedy justice in condemning her, the sailors
attended the money with musick and colours flying, and the
officers gave a handsome entertainment at the Fountain
behind the Exchange. . .
