- PLYMOUTH, APRIL `.t7.--A letter has been re'
ceived here-this morning from the Captain of the,
*live privateer, relating a gallant attempt to cut
out a convoy of the enemy's vessels on the Bth icst•
frotnasmall bay near St. Andern ; the Lion and.
Hero privateers of Guernsey were in company-0
and
alike participated in the gallant attempt. Ill°
enemy consisted of seven merchant vessels, laden
with brandy and wine, moored close in shore, de'
fended. by batteries and musketry. Boats manned,
and armed were dispatched from each of the priva"
teers about nine o'clock at night, and proceeded to
attack the enemy under a very heavy fire of -musket"
ry from; the shore, notwithstanding which, they
boarded and - carried the whole of them ; but, in
towing them_ out,: most unfortunately, six of, them'
owing to the shoalness of the water, got aground,
and all the efforts used to get them off roved
fruitless. The other, they succeeded in bringing
away, a very fine schooner, about 80 tons burthenY
called the Maria Anne, which has been carried
into Guernsey. Fortunately no
,lives were lost in
enterpnze, and only one wounded, the CarPen'
ter of the Active, who received two shots in his leg'
but is likely to do well.
