On Saturday afternoon, at half after two -o'clock,
the Nor4,ampton East Indiamen, of 51. z tons, wa
latinched at the King and Queen Dock, Rotherhithe.
At the top o tlp, tide she turned off the.stocks very
finely, the launch being gradual. At the return of
the tide y-sterday, she was taken into dock, to
finish her copperipg.
By a passenger in one of the West.lndia convoy,
landed at Plymouth, is learnt the following account
of the capture of Aye West Indiamen from that
Fleet ; The ButaTe French privateer, of 36 guns,
constantly hung on the skirts of the convoy evety
night, for four or five slights, and in the morning she
was chased by the Montague, of 74 guns, Captain
Curt-La E RT, and Glenmore, of 30 guns, Capt. DUFF,
without died, as she rowed -44- sweeps, and was.
soon out of sight. The fifth night, being dark, she
boarded, and took out of the convoy five sail ; and
in the morning she was perceived by the look-
out man in the Glenmore with her prizes fdr to lee-
ward. Captain DUFF immediately crowded all the
sail he could set, and chased them several hours.—
The Braervi, however, again got off, after burning
one of the West Indiamen ; but Czptain DUFF was
so iutky as to re-capture the other four, which were
very valuable, and are arrived safe at Cork, where
the salvage of -one-eighth to the captors will be
settled.
