His Majesty's Ship Iris, Plymouth Sound, Jan. 25.
My Lord—ln returning from the squadron under
the command of Sir Richard King, Bart. I have the
honour to inform your Lordship I fell in yesterday,
off the Lizard, with a French lugger privateer Mar -
souin, armed with fourteen guns and sixty men,
which we captured ;—her' guns and anchors were
thrown overboard during the chace.
It appears by the journal of her last cruize, (dated
28th October, near Cork)-and is corroborated by the
Role de l'Equipage, that-in attempting to board a
transport, the troops being concealed, a volley of mus-
ketry killed the Captain and ten men, and wounded
five others. I have the honour to be, &c.
