NIIVII L NEWS.

PLYIVIOUTH, SEPT. I f.—This morning ariiveir
in Cawsand Bay, the Lord Nelson East Indiaittan,
from Bop' bound to London. She was capttiri&l
on the t4th of August of Cape Clear, by the nth'
lona French Privateer,' and 're..takerl'on.•the 27th
near Ferrol by the Seagull Sloop of War, of
18 guns: the latter arrived with her. The
Purser of the Lord Nelson landed this morning, and
immediately set' off for London. The action be.
tween the. French Privateer and the latter is said to
have beeli ;very deiperate, 'and the Company's
packet,,it is reported, was thrown overboard.' The
wind being northerly, very little communication
has. yet taken place, so that the particulars of her
capture, &c. have not been ascertained. • I

N ZA)I.O E SEPT. 9.—Having an opportunity of
• sending you the outlines of the capture of the Good.
Intent, of Shields, shall .relate the circumstances as
they were stated to meby CaPt;,}lA I.t:, Of the. Astrei
Mriria of Bridgewater, now horn Neath, with tiro.
'
her for Government, and bound to London :—he
,in.
formed me that Wednesday noon be received . infer,
mation, by the Telegraph, on the Lizard, that an
Enemy was .on the Coast; in consequence of Which
he stood into this bay ; about t 1-o'clock P. M. a
boat came alringside, which at first alarmed him; but
he soon found her Crew .to be the MaSter and People
belonging: to the Good Intent. of Shields, last from
Bideford, With timber, for Dartmouth: the Master Of
which informed Capt. HAL 4g that his vessel was just
captured by a French Schooner Privateer; the Priva
Leer kept within gun-shot of his vessel all day; under
English colours ; and having no doubt but she was
an Enemy, it induced him to prepare for the safety of
himself and crew in his boat, and to wait the, event:
soon after-he had the mortification to see his vessel
taken possession of by the Enemy • and, as he had no
doubt that the TO vateer.wooldt;ke all vends he
could board that night,be teturned,,with his Crew to
'his boat, fearin4 the:A/sag /leriirif,wonld share'the"
saine fate. ith his own vessel.,:: 3 ,fursday morning
Capt. HALL plainly discgvereci4 Schooner and Lug_
ger, the former pierced for:‘48uns, and not unlike
in rigging to the Mount's Bay fishing boats, ohly
much-larger, cruizing in different direEtions, which
induced him to avail himself of the.breeze, and an.
chor safe in Mount Road, about five o'clock P. M.
Capt. HALL hag no doubt but they were waiting
the cover of the night, in order to take seven ves_
self; then within three leagues of them, viz, a ship
standing to the Eastward, three Brigs, and three
Sloops, standing to the Westward, having the wind
N.N.E. which unfortunately was too favourable for
the Enemy; and what is still more unfortunate,
there was not a Cruizer of any kind within the limits
of this port, to prevent their being taken : how.
ever, intelligence was immediately sent to Falmouth
to cause a Croizer to proceed to sea ; and as the
activity and courage of our Seamen are so well
known, I have no doubt that every exertion will
be made to retake our ships, and to take or destroy
those of the Enemy.
