The Gentleman's magazine. v. 13 (1743).
The Rose, man of war, Capt. Thomas Frankland, arrived at Providence about 4 hours before the Flag of Truce, and generously made Don Pedro a present of 14 Spanish slaves which had been legally condemned at Carolina, on behalf of the English prisoners at the Havannah that they might be kindly used and furnished of what is necessary at their coming away.
