Between the seamen of both countries, out- rages and riots took place, that were like to have been attended with very serious conseciuences; the leading men of Boston, however, exert- ed themselves suc. Cessfully to ajjpease the tumults, and to give satisfac- tion to their new allies. General Clinton having returned towards New- York, concerted several expeditions for destroying privatceis. Major- general (Tiey being deUiched to Bu/. /. Ard-bay in New-England, landed on the banks of the Acushim...et river, and executed his enterprise with such rapidity, that in less than one day he burned and destroyed all the ships in the river, amo\inting to more than seventy sail. The next day jfroceedingro Martha's Vineyard, a fertile and rich island, he destroyed several vessels, and carrying oft" a valuable booty in provisions, returned to New-York. Lord Cornwallis soon afterwaids undertook the direc- tion of an expedition to Little Egg-harbour, on the coast of Jersey, which was also a general receptacle for privateers : one division of the detach- ment surprised and surrounded an American regiment of light horse, during the night, at Old Tapan on the North river; the greater num- ber were killed, or taken prisoners.
