TH E following are extracts of letters from Rear Admiral
Edwards, commander in chief of his Majesty's ships em
ployed on the Newfoundland Ration, to Mr. Stephens.
St. John's, Neicfounfard; August 20, 1781.
ON the 12th of July we saw a flilp to windward, which
the Portland and Vestal gave chafe to and came up with. She
proved to be the ship Royal Louis, an American privateer from
Salem, of fifteen carriage guns, fix pounders, and a hundred
men.
I found his Majefly's sloop Cygnet at St. Jolin's. On the
„th of May ffie took a small privateer sloop, called the Pith
Hawke, of fix guns and thirty-two men; and, on the second
of June following, a fliip called the Mercury from Pifcataway,
abound to the Weft Indies with lumber.
Capt. Lloyd in the Oifeau, from Lifoon, arrived here the
19th May, having parted from his convoy on the 28th of April,
off the island of St. Mary's, as their Lordships will have been
informed of by his letter to you sos the 6th of May ; but I am
glad it is in my power to acquaint them, that his apprehen
sion of many of them being taken was not well founded; as
they have all, except the ike and Success brigs, arrived here
fafe with their cargoes.
Ihe Oifeau fail„ on a cruize again the 6th of June, and
returned the 2dsos July, in which time file captured the ship
Congress, au American privateer of eighteen guns, nine poun
ders, and,jn e hundred and twenty men; the brig Active,, of
14 gun&, 6 plunders, and 42 men; the brig Shark, of 14 guns'
' P OU " iders, and 72 men; and retook the Jenny brig,
for this island, and brought them fafe in here. She a 0
'captured the sloop Crawford, laden with tobacco, but not a,
ving heard of her since, it is supposed she was retaken soon
after..
On the^th of August, Captain Parker of the Maidftone, sent
a small privateer brig, called the Lyon, of Salem, mounting
ten guns, and forty-two men, into this harbour, having taken
her on the 2d, off Cape Chaparouge.
This morning a large American ship privateer, called the
Lyon, of eighteen guns, and one hundred and fourteen men,
arrived here. She was taken on the 14th instant, by the Port
kind and Soltis, and had been only twenty-one days from
Salem.
St. John's, Newfoundland, September 28, 1781.
On the 3d the Surprize and Danae arrived from Halifax,
having seen the transports and trade fafe in their, and carried
in with them three American privateers, viz. the Venus 0.
16 guns and 83 men ; Independence of 16 guns and 83 men,
and Diana, 10 guns and 37 men, which they captured on their
passage. They also retook the Lockhart Ross, a ship from
Quebec, which had been taken a few days before by two
.French frigates.
On the 9th the TEolus, Portland and Vestal, arrived from a
cruize. On the 2d they fell in with and took the ship Disdain,
an American privateer of 16 guns and 76 men, and retook the
fliip Martha, Samuel Ripp, maftcr, from Montego-Bay, with
rum and sugar, which had been taken two or three days before
by the Disdain. On the 16th they failed, and two. days after
feut in a small privateer brig, called the Captain, of fix guns
and 32 men..
Besides the aforementioned, the Montgomery privateer, of
14 guns and 50 men, was taken on the sth of August by the
Maidftone.
Admiralty-Office, October 22, 1781.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Williams, Commander of bis
Majeffjfoi, Flora, to Mr. STEPHENS, dated at S a, 03d
her To, 1781.
" Please to acquaint the Lords Commissioners of the Ad
miralty, that having received orders tocruize in company with
his Majesty's ship the Crocodile to the eastward of Cape Clear,
we yesterday, in company with the Monsieur and Minerva,
fell in with an American flrip privateer, named the Hercules,
.commanded by Thomas Diffmore, mounting eighteen fix
pounders and two fours, her complement confiding of one
hundred and twenty men, which vessel, after a pursuit of
four hours, the Flora and Minerva came up with and cap
tured. She had been two months from Boston, under or
ders to cruize on the Banks of Newfoundland; but having
met with nd success there, the matter determined to try his
fortune offthis coast, where he arrived but two days ago. I
have the pleasure to add, he has done no mifehiet, since his
charge of Ration."
