Tbe Randolph is abfolutely gone. We buw? incendiartet here, two attempts were made laft night to fire th Uwm in king's jlreet, at Clifford's Jlables, and at Mr. Strabowftis's in broad jirtet. Tbe Rattle-fnake privateer, Capt. Mc. Cullougb, of Philadelphia, has carried two pnzei into Georgia, one with dry loads for tbe army at New York, tbe other a fait veffel retaken, Jbe has aifo fent a Jamaica febooner, and a bay brig in here. There ar-- now cruifing on this coalt, thtee privateers, Capt. Mc Farling, in a 16 gun brig, and Captains Neale ar d Good rich, in 10 gun Hoops. They have lately taken feverai veffels near Occacock bar, add a few days ago. Captain Goodrich decoyed the pilots atjld Topfail inlet, came in and took a b.ig, a prize fent in Dy the continental frigate Rauleigh, and a veirel juft arrived from Charleilown with a valuable carjj and a hrge fum of money on board. He endeavoured to carry off the brig, but not being able to get her oat, fet her on fire and left her. She had cm board 1200 bulhcls (alt, had jult been condemned by the court of admiralty and fold, and we hear thofe concerned extinguiftied the fire and have faved the fait, but the vcflel is ruined. A fort is now building at cape look out bay, for the protection of veffels that may lie there, but the harbour within old' Topfail inlet is quite expofed, and while the pilots on the fea coaft are fo eafily decoyed, and receive f jch ample rewards for their fidelity, we fear the trade of this rtate will be intirely ftopped.
