WEYMOUTH, JANUARY ii.

Oa Friday morning, at day-break, as the CON-
STITUTION hired armed cutter was cruising to
the Eaftward, off Portland, which is her flation,
fhe fell in with two large French cutter privateers
and immediately made lid' after them. The Corn-
mander foon finding them to be enemy's (hips, he
hoilled out his boat and get all clear for aaion.
For fomc time they run him out to fea, after which
they tacked towards him and commenced the
aai m, one on each fide, for an hour. Both
velrels were fuperior in force, but the gallant
Commander, Lieutenant Faux KNOR, defended his
cutter with a valour and (kill that do him the
higher' honour, and which will no doubt entitle
him to the notice of the Lords of the Admiralty :
he had eight of his men killed and wounded ; his
fails and rigging cut to pieces; and his velTel to-
tally unmanageable. The enemy's cutters mancru-
vered in fuch a manner as to get one on the broad
tide, and the other on the quarter, when they at-
tempted to board, but were repulfed by the gal-
lantry of this Officer and his fmall crew. At
kilt one of the cutters made fail and lheered off
while the other renewed the aaion with double
vigour. Soon after the CONSTITUTION was attack-
ed by them both, when the larger' flicered on her
quarter, and boarded with upwards of fixtt men,
under a very heavy (flower of grape Ihot and muf-
quctry. The fmall crew not amounting to more
than forty men, being unable to contend with fuch
fuperior fOrce any longer, were obliged to yield,
and to fuller the French to haul down the colours
them/elves. Lieut. Fauxxamt gives the hi heft
praife to his (hip's company, and particularly to
Mr. RICHARD MI LLAN. the mailer, who highly dif-
tinguilhed himfelf during the whole of the aflion.
They kept up a coultant tire, even until they were
boarded and drove from their guns by the French.
Mr. MiLzast, and the whole of the crew, were
taken out and divided between the two cutters.
—The Lieutenant had the good fortune to be
left on board, and was yellerday morning
brought in here with the cutter, retaken by the
GRE YHO UN D Cullom-Hoof.: Cutter, Captain WIL-
KINSON, who on the alarm from Portland, imme-
diately put to fea, and recaptured her the fame
ev..ning, leaving his Majeity'e lhip the WEASEL in
ehace of the privateers, and within five or fix miles
of them : hopes ate therefore entertained that one or
both of them may he taken eith.zr by this vefTel or by
!alt:: other of his cruizers. The French
officer who boarded, lays, that the French had 26
of their men killed and wounded. The cutters
mounted each I} guns ; one of them had 95 men,
and the other 80. They failed from Cherburgh
Wednefday, but had taken nothing ; they
were to have cruized off Portland nine or ten days,
and then to have proceeded, in company, for
the coal! of Portugal. If they thould not fall into
the hands of our cruizers, they mull go into fome
port to refit.
A fmall cartel, hired by fome mailers of vetrels,
prifoners in Cherburgh, arrived here on Friday :
They Rate, that provifions of all kinds are very
reafonable in that country.—l law a loaf of very
good bread, weighing twelve pounds, which they
brought over, and which colt only one fhilling.—
They likewife confirm the account given oithe
force and number of men of the French privateers.
The force of the CONSTITUTION was only 12 guns
and ao men. They fay the French make a pretty
trade out of ours.
