this morning, in company pith his Majesty's ship
Tenedos, chased on shore a large armed ship under
,ikterican colours, near Cape Ann Town. Having
anchored close to her, and fired a few shot on the
beach to disperse the militia, who were assembling,
I sent in the boats of both ships, under the command
of Lieutenant Watt, of the Shannon, who brought
the vessel off without any loss : she proves to be the
Invincible, a French corvette-built privateer, of 16
'guns, lately captured by his Majesty's sloop Mutine,

S1R,••••• I have the honour to acquaint you, fcr the!
iniOrmation of the Commander in Chief, that his
Majesty's ship under my command, drove on shore,
and captured on the 19.. h instant, off Kenebank, the
United States private armed ship Alexander, of 18 l
guns, returning to Salem from a cruize of ten weeks.
The Alexander is a remarkably fine ship, four years
old, and was considered the fastest sailing privateer
out of the United States ; she left Salem with a crew
of 127 men, but had only about 70 remaining at
the time of hercapture, the greatest number of whom
made their escape on her getting aground, and seve-
ral'were drowia:d in their attempt to swim from her.
His Majesty's schooner Bream, which was in com-
piny, contributed much to our assistance in getting '
the ship off, and, I am happy to say, with hardly any
injury.
I had the honour to report to the Senior Officer at
Halifax, of having chased onshore, near Bayley's
Mistake, the American privateer schooner Gallynip-
pee, of two guns, long 6-pounders, and 35 men; on
the 2d instant, and of her being in that situation at-
tacked and destroyed by the boats of his Majesty's
ship, in charge of Mr. James Cutlip, Acting Master.
I have the honour to be, &c.

company with his Majesty's brig Curlew, captured
the Enterprise American schooner privateer, belong-
ing to Salem, of 4 guns, (hut pierced for 18) and 91
=moll h .r return from a 4 months cruize on the coast
of Brazil, without having made any captures; she is
qUite new and coppei-lasztned. and in my opinion
well qualified for his hiajestrs service.

vering about the convoy, then close in with Isle of
Vache ; and that after a few hours Chace, she struck
to his Majesty's sloop Forrester, Captain Alexander

mand she proves to be the Mary Ann, of Charles-
town, commanded by Peter Charriel, out 21 days,
and had made no capture ; she is armed with one
long 9.pounder, a midships, and a 4-pounder, with a
profusion of small arms, which leads me to belies e she
expected some addition to her c,sar in this country,
there being only SO hands on bated at the time of
capture, one of whom was found dead.

British surgeons, whof,erforined amputations on such
