The Purser of the Lord Nelson landed this morning, and immediately set' off for London. The action be. tween the. French Privateer and the latter is said to have beeli ;very deiperate, 'and the Company's packet,,it is reported, was thrown overboard.' The wind being northerly, very little communication has. yet taken place, so that the particulars of her capture, &c. have not been ascertained. • I N ZA)I .

H AL 4g that his vessel was just captured by a French Schooner Privateer; the Priva Leer kept within gun-shot of his vessel all day; under English colours ; and having no doubt but she was an Enemy, it induced him to prepare for the safety of himself and crew in his boat, and to wait the, event: soon after-he had the mortification to see his vessel taken possession of by the Enemy • and, as he h a d n o doubt that the TO vateer.wooldt;ke all vends he could board that night,be teturned,,with his Crew to 'his boat, fearin4 the:A/sag /leriirif,wonld share'the" saine fate. ith his own vessel.,:: 3 ,fursday mor n i ng Capt.
