, S. E. and a brig in chace of her E. N. E.
hich proved -to be His Majesty's Sloop Mixon.
Hi 4 Majesty's Sloop Orestes; was in the N. W.- and
inAlet in the pursuit), at forty minutes past seven
HIS Majesty's Sloop under my Command, ran her

ger prv-iteer Le Lezard, of St. Malo, manned with
iitty-seven men, and pierced for fourteen gun's, but
not any found on board ; sailed from Isle'di Bas

judicious position kept by Lord Viscount Neville, of
the Ae.i&o and Captain aivies, of the Orestes, her
escape would have been difficult.

those sloops, has recaptured the English ship Wey-
