FEB. IT; 1801.

" Being yesterday ofrPunck Knoll, at eleven
o'clock in the morning, received information
from the Lieutenant at that Signal Post, that a
Privateer had captured a Brig in the S. W. We
immediately gave chace in that dire&ion, ind
at twelve o'clock saw three Sail 'a
-head, standing
to the Southward, a Cutter, Sloop and Brig :
at four o'clock had the pleasure of recapturing
the Brig, being the Mary Jemima, of Exeter,
laden with a very valuable cargo of groceries,
bound to that Port. We shifted Prisoners, and
made sail after the Sloop, and at half past five
came up with and recaptured h.zr, which proved
to be the Fine, of Neath, laden with barley, last
from Weymouth. They were both taken by La
Dorado, French Cutter Privateer, of i 6 guns, and
her consort at a distance (being those which cap_
cured His Majesty's Cutter Comititution), which
had got a long way. to windwartt of us. By the
time we retook the vessels, night coming on, we
lost sight of the Enemy. This morning, being
off the Berry Head, and it blowing very hard,
we were obliged to bear up for Dartmouth, where
both the Prizes are also safely arrived."
