HULL. MAY t7.—The Alexander, NORTH, of this'

the 22d of April, in company with the Nile, of Sun-
derland, Capt. Paz G LI. About feven o'clock on the
mulling of the 27th fell in with a French brig pri-
vateer, of 14 or 16 guns, and full of men, which in
about half An hour came under the lee of the Alex-
ander, and fired about 33. pr 40 miliket-fhot at him,
feveral of which paired through the main and main-
top fail, carried away cne of the futtock firrouds of
the wizen top-malt rigging, and (funded one of the
main-fhrouds. The Alexander hove to, and (hewed
colours, on which the privateer fhot a head under the
lee of the Nile, and boarded that veil three different
times. A Denifh brig coming in fight, the privateer
(poke, and immediately flood away to the S. S. W.
in confequcoce it was itippored of Come intelligence
from the Dane. As foon as the privateer was bull
down, Captain Noaris made all fail to the oppofite
quarter, and in two hours was out of fight. The Nile
was OHL lying to, by the Dana brig. Captain
North arrived at Stromnefs on the firfl of May. A
convoy was daily expeEted at that place. The Nile
was afterwards defected by the privateer, and has
fince been carrried by the mate into the ifland of Barra.

blow with great violence, and the pumps being choak.
cd, the Captain deemed it neceffary to bear up for
the &r It harbour, the Wind from the N. NV. He ac-
cordingly (leered a cootie for Stromnefs, and when
within 4o leagues of ,he land, had a heavy gala of
wind from the Southward, which continued to the
Bth of April, and drove the (hip four degrees to the
north of Shetland, when he loft his main-top-mall,
feveral yards, (pars, and fails ; on the 1 tth he had
the misfortune to lofe one of the boys ovetboard, and
from the violence of the gate and high lea, they were
prevented rendering him any atfitfauce ; on the 2oth
April Capt. THILEADGOLD arrived at Lerwick, got
the damages repaired, and the leak (topped, and
failed from thence for Greenland on the sft of May.

MAY 18.—The embargo laid on •effels in Britith
ports, has fince been taken off, by an order of Coun-
cil, dated May to: fo far as regards all coafting vef.
fels, whole crews confal of boys under 15, and men
above so years of age. On vcifels bound to foreign
ports, it fill continues in full force ; and is the caufe
of detaining feveral veffels that were to have failed
from hence with convoy for the Baltic and Tonnin-
gen, the t9th, and for Portugal the 9th inft. The
reafon affigned for the embargo, in the order of
Council, is, a want of hands to man the vefiCls fitting
out for lea.
