Cr-1 transmit herewith, t Utter which Rear Admiral Sothe-

Seine, off Bourdeani, October 28.

Sir—Yesterday evenifig I captured the Rodeur
Trench brig privateer of sixteen guns (long six's)
and one hundred and twenty-one men, out three days
from Bayonne, bound on a cruize oil the west coast
of Ireland. She is a very fine vessel of large dimen-
sions, pierced for 20 guns, coppered and copper-
fastened, and in complete repair and equipment ; and
from her force and fast sailing properties would have
done much mischief to our commerce, which renders
her capture the more important. I have the honour
to be, &c. (Signed) D. ATKINS.
His Ma)oray's Ship Suiveillante, offlMianr, Oct. 30, 1809.
Sir—l this d.ty crossed upon his Majem's ship
Seine in chace of a brig, and after a run of four
hours I had the good fo; tone to bring the chace to,
thongh not till she had suffered in the rigging consi-
derably, by our musketry ; she proves the French
national corvette le Milan, commanded by Monsieur
Le Toilet, Cap:mine de frigate ; she mounts eigh-
teen glens, si),t2en of which are twenty-tinir pounders,
and has on board one hundred and fifteen men ; she
sailed from the Loire last night, and was charged
with dispatches I believe f r Guadaloupe ; she ap-
pears to sail wiry we'll, and is nearly new.—l have
oglittif to be, tkc. (Signed) COMISR a. COLLUIR.
