c, I beg leave to acquaint you, for the information
of the Commander in Chief, that last evening at
eight, the Naiad and Narcissus being close in with
Noirmountier, we discovered and soon captured the
French privateer brig Fanny, of sixteen guns, and
,leighty men, commanded by Charles Hamon, and
only a few hours from Nantz, and consequently had
made no capture. She was intended to cruize off the
coast of Ireland ; and at midnight we captured the
French sloop Superb, letter of marque, of four guns
• and twenty men, with a cargo of sundries for Marti-
. nique. Mr. Hamon lately commanded the Venus
privateer, that did great injury to our trade.
