<Bordeaux, June 30, 1778: A ship from Louisiana confirms that
Georgia and Carolina settlers have seized all the British posts
on the Mississippi and two ships, whose cargoes they sold in
New Orleans. A privateer took a Carolina vessel near our
coast, and a French frigate captured a privateer in the river.
The Count d’Aranda, returning from Madrid to Paris, passed
through town on the 28th.>
