An English armed Cutter has lately been off Dieppe, and pretending to be an American, has cheated our Friend there out of some Refreshments, &c. and having got the Names of our Friends in other Ports, he may play the same Game all along the Coast.

I have the honour to be Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant
