SIR; „

The inclosed Letters from Captains Platnpin and
Lor.l George Stuart will convey to their Lordships
intelligence. IA the C. tpture.ot La BeHone, La Hen-
riet:e, and Isle de Yran'ce, Privateers frorn,the Afiu-
rit ius.

I reflect with much pleasure on the capture of
La-Bellone in particular, as well 'from hei• suPerior
Sailing, as her uncommon success in the present
and preceding War against the British Commerce
in the Indian and European Seas. The comtnerei.d
interests of this country are particularly 'secured by
her capture, which could not have been expeaed
but under very l'avocirable circinnStances.

16th July', 1806.

I hare the honour to inform you, that on Wed-
nesday the 9th inst.- being at anchor in this Bay, I
received information, by a Ship from ColoMbo, that
La Bellone, pri% :neer had returned to her old cruiz-
ing (Tri•ittli I off •Dondra Head"; in conseqUenee 'of
which I instantly pot to sea, and sent CiireationS to
Captain Divan], of the Rattlesnake (who was in the
Inner Fliirbuur, tatting in the iron ballast of the
Sheern..ss, agt ceably to your c4ders), to follow', and
join me on" the Basses, which he did the next morn-
ing at day-light. inteMiOn wns, if possible, to
heat up as tar as Tengall, into which place La Eel,
lone had chace the Ship above-xcntioned; but (`an
Saturday -tnoruing, being to the southward of the
Great .Basses,l found so Much wind, and such a
heavy sea; that the crippled state of any masts
obliged rue to bear up and run for the Little Basses,
intending to keep dose in shore unclvr their lee.
The morning being very thick, the Rattlesnake had
fortunately separated in the afternoon ; about a quar-
ter past three, being about seen miles'iothe north-
wind of the Little 13 asts, a Ship was discovered on-
our weather-beam, steering fiee, with steering sails
set; we were soon convinced it was La Bellone,
and very shortly after we had the pleasure to see the
• Rattle;nake broad. dh-his weather7quarter, sal that
he could not haul his wind from Us, 'c';titOUt being
forced to ailion by her, he therefore preferred the
etatice of crossing between us and the shore, having
at that time a strong land wind, and .we lying nearly
becalmed ; in this, hope he was deceived, and was
by five o'clock within gun-shot of us, at which time;
he hoisted his colours, and fired la broadside at us,
and continued a running fire until a quarter before
seven, at which
_time, finding, there was no possibi-
lity of getting from us, •1 sttuck his colours and
brought to.
I urn sorry to add, we had two men killed and
eleven wounded ; the Enemy acknowledge only one
killed, and six or seven wounded.

I have the honour to be, 8.4 c.

and arrived at this anchorage in the forenobn of the
11th. Having received intelligence that the Priva-

been seen a few days since ii the neighbourhood of
latecato, I put to sea again in the afternoon, and
being close in with the laud, a-breast of Filar's-hood,
the following evening, I continued standing to the
southward under easy sail all night ; .at:day-hfeak on
the 13th we discovered'a ship on the lee quarter
with the courses up, on the opposite tack, and had
soon the pleasure to be convinced that it was the
ship we were in search of. After a chace of eleven
hours, during the last hour of which she continued
, firing her stern chasers over us (without effe6t) the
Enemy struck his colours and brought to.: ; The ship
proved to be La Henriette, mounting 20 guns, four
12-pounder carronades, two 9-pounders, and r 4
6-pounders (four of the latter were'hove overboard
during the chace), having on board 124 men, incluth
