Subject: help locating the ship North America

I am trying to locate either a newspaper account or a passenger list for a ship called the "North America" This ship left Kilmore, Ireland on July 12, 1797 bound for Philadelphia and was captained by a man named Coffin. The ship probably arrived in Philadelphia sometime in late August 1797. While at sea this ship was boarded by the British and several men were removed from the ship and pressed into service for the British. I am hoping that I can find some American documentation of this incident. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look?
