On the I.4th of Decemb\er, the ship Comoieice,
Capt. Wansraa, sailed from Sierra Leone, bound to
Liverpool, and on the 6th 'DM, in the evening, a
French privateer fell in with KT and attacked her.

bolos and a half, with great intrepidity, and so dis-
abled the privateer, that she was obligedto sheer
off, She returned,' however, the foliow;ng morn-
idg, and was then so well prepared for action, and
had so great a number of men, that the Commerce
struck. Lieutenant.‘ Mirrtu, a marine Officer',
who was coming home passenger in the ,Commerce,
was permitted by the Captain of the privateer to
remain on board the Commerce, with two of her
crew, and twelvo Frenchmen were pot in posses
,ion of the prizel—the ships, then parted company,

fused, unless the ship should' be grven up altogether
