LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.

Extract of a letter from Captain Bradley, of the
ship Beaver, of this Port.—" Ou the 18th August, at
six P. M. Isle of Ash distant four leagues, saw a
schooner standing to the southward, at six A. M. she
was on our weather beam, when he hoisted French
colours, and engaged us for three quarters of an hour,
his shot cutting our rigging and sails very much, he
then came down upon us, and getting under the stern
annoyed us greatly, keeping up a constant fire of
musketry, which advantage he kept for one hour, un-
der very light winds, wnich scarcely gave our ship
steerage way, when the Captain being shot through
the thigh and wounded in the back, the second mate
and one man killed, and two others wounded, out of
16 men, the whole of our crew, the privateer boarded
with 100 men, and captured us, taking out 220 ne-
groes. On the 22d we arrived at St. Jago, in the Isle
of Cuba. The privateer is called Imperial, national
schooner, of six nines, and one long brass 18-pounder,
and 130 men."
Extract of a letter from the Second Mate of the
Lucy, dated Guadaloupe, October 16, 1807.—" It
is with concern I have to acquaint you of the capture
of your ship, and our being made prisoners. We sailed
from old Calabar on the 20th August, and met with
nothing, to molest us until the 9th September, when
we fell in with a French schooner privateer, mounting
eight sixes and . one long IE4-pounder. The action •
commenced at half past twelve, when she attempted
to board, but was repulsed. A running fight then
commenced, which lasted until three, when she made
a second attempt, in which she proved successful,
owing to her superiority in number, having on board
between 90 and 100 men ; our number but 19, and
out of them we had four killed and eight wounded,
among the latter, the Captain and myself • the priva-
teer had four killed and 16 wounded. After the ac-
tion we were removed on board the privateer, and we
arrived at Guadaloupe on the 11th inst. where we
are extremely well treated."
