In addition to our former information rerpeaing
the Brig Honduras, of Sunderland, we have received
the following Letter from two female Passengers on
board that Vessel:

4' Nekvetehrr 12, 1804,
" On the first inst. we sailed from Spitheari as Passengers
nn board the llonduras Packet, of Sunderland, and at five
P. M. were captured by a French I.nder Privateer; but in.
running alongside, and trying to jump an hoard of our Ship,
two of the Frenchmeu tell between the Ships and were
crushed to pieces, and one fell overheard and was drowned;
therefore only three get on board, the sea bein very high.
Our Captain, who had been previously wounded by a mus-
ket hall, jumped on board the Privateer, in outer to have lris
Wound dressed. The Privateer having got Some damage in
coming alongside, shore olf,'
,and immediately her tbrernasi
went over the bide, which rendered them unable to come
near us any more. The Frenchmen by this time kneed our
people beloVv. (the 'carpenter having received a wound in his
arm by a cutlass), and steered the Ship for Dieppe; but not
being .able to get in, she brought up. The'wind corning on
to bloW very hard, and being afraid the Ship would drive on
shore, abisat three o'clock in the morning they came dowg
below, and .offered themselves prisoners to the English.,-.
Overjoyed at the opportunity of escaping, they jumped upon
deck, set the sails,, cut the cable, and stood over for Dover.
In their passage they were boarded by oitifof hi* Majesty's
Cruizera, who took the. Frenchmen on board, and sent tour
seamen and a master's !limb en board to assist there to Dover;
hut falling to leeward, they brought up, and rode till Satur-
day afternoon, when the gale freshening she parted from her
anchor, and drove on shore between Dungeness and Romney
Marsh. the tide being low, slie beat up from five o'clock
till ten, when slit was like to go -to pieces; theretOre a
.rope
was conveyed to the snore, and by that means the whole
were dragged on shore, te‘cpt three of du men of war's
men, who were drowned by the Ship upsetting and falling to
pieces before they could ert.the rope back to their as%istance.
