I beg- to:iriforin you that His Majesty's Ship un-
der my:command, yesterday, captured a Spanish
sPolacre.Ship frOm La Guira, loaded with cocoa;
bark,. indigo, Ste. Which I was convoying as far as
the limits of my station, when a report being made
of a sail on the Weather-bow this morning it 'day-
ltght, I gate dace;
dace;and after a very hard run of ten
hours, hid the good fortune to capture
.theAtister-
litz, of Nantes, p. Privateer
.Brig, carrying fourteen
g-pounders, and ninety =six trien.: ;She is quite new,
appears to sail extremely fast, and is;. in my.opinion,
perfectly adapted for His Maiesty's service. - The
Austerlitz was fitted, for a five month's cruize, and
had been out eight days from,Nantes without mak-
ing. any, capture. I have the Honour to be, Brc.
