Extraa of a Letter fionz Vice Admiral Douglas, to
11/nz. Marsden, Esq. dated at Yarmouth, the Bth

instant.

I inclose a' Letter from Captain Stoddart, of the
Cruizer, which has this moment arrived with a
French Piivateer, Le Jena, of 16 guns, which she
took the 6th inst. off the Galloper.
His Majesty's Sloop Cruizer, Yarmouth
MY LORD, 4, Roads, Jan. 8, 1 SO7.

On the 6th inst. at eight A. M. being eight leagues
South of the Galloper, we observed a suspicious Lug-
ger S. E. steering for the Flemish Coast under a.
press of sail ; chaced, and, in four hours, .came up
with and captured, Le Jena French Privateer, of 16
guns, three and four pounders (two of which were
thrown overboard during the chace), commanded
by Mons. Morel. She had taken three English
Vessels on-the Ist and 52d inst. about seven leagues
from Flambro' Head; they were part of the Baltic
Convoy separated in a gale of wind, viz. the Felicity
of Yarmouth, Neptune of Sunderland, and Bet ut
Kirkaldy. "1 ,am happy to add, that the Masters and
Crews were on board the Privateer ; and .their Ves-
selvare likely to be re-captured, having , shaped a
course for Goree, and were- next day. followed by
the Prigateer, who endeavOured to enter that Port,
when she was chaced off by. a Frigate and Cutter,
and the day after fell into our hands. Le Jena was
only fourteen days of the stocks when taked. Bhe
is well found in every thing, and sails remarkably
fast. I have, &c. P. STODDART;
The Right Hon. Lord Keith, &c. &c.
