Extract of a Letter from Captain Sturt, of His Majesty's sloop
Skylark, dated November a, 11107, to Vlett-Admisal Rowley,
Commander. iivChief of His Majesty's ships mail vessels in
the Downs, transmitted by the VievAdmiral to the Ho-
nourable W. %V. rule.
Ste--It is with great satisfaftion I acquaint you,
that we last night, after a chase of one hour and
fifty-five minutes, captured Le Renarde French
privateer lugger, of fourteen guns, and thirty-nine
men, belonging to Calais, which place she had left
that evening, and was in the a& of taking posses.
sion of a collier brig, under the North Foreland,
which they afterwards abandoned, on observing us
pursue them, and we took charge of her.
The obstinar y of the Captain, in not surrendering
when repeatedly called to, and likewise an attempt
he made to lay us on board, obliged us to fire, by
which he was severely wounded, and the logget's
main-mist shot away.
The Captain of the Renarde is the person who
took the Argus, and he communicates that his vessel
was run down by her, and that the Master has
since had his arra amputated ; the prisoners also
mention. that the privateer who lately engaged the

Mire lost eight men killed, and seven wounded, in
tie encounter. I have the honour to be. ke.
