By letters from the SYLPH, of 18 guns, Captain
DA SHWOOD, dated at tea, 04t. i, it appears, that
on the 29th of September, eruizing off Cape Penas,
fhe fell in with a large French frigate, of 4+ guns,
about feven P. M. and brought her to action in
the moil gallant (Lyle, hanging on her (larboard
quarters for nearly two hours and five minutes.—
The SYLPH kept up fuch a heavy fire that the
Frenchman thought proper to Otter off. The
SYLPH was too much difabled to purfue her ad-
vantage. She had in the arduous conteft fortu-
nately only one Midfhipman wounded. By a neu-
tral the fell in with, on the 3oth of September,
Captain DASH WOOD learnt the is l'Artcmife, of 44
guns, and 350 men, going from St. Andero to
Botirdeaux ; and what is very remarkable, the
proves to be the fame frigate the SYLPH engaged
fo gallantly and beat off near St. Andero, about
three weeks before. L'Artemife was then on her
paffage from Bourdeaus to St. Andero.
We Tome tithe fine announced the capture of
the French privateer l'Adele, Citizen N. Succour,.
by the ALBATROSS (19op of war, in the Indian
Seas.—A letter from an officer on board the latter
gives the following detail of the :talon " Off
Port de Galle, we fpoke a Dann): veffel, which in-
formed us that the Conflance and Malartic were
committing great depredations on our comme.•2
in the Bay : we crowded all fail, and the winds be-
ing favourable in general, we had got as far to the
northward as tBO. 30. about three quarters paft
midnight on the t3th, at which time we perceived
a orange fail to windward, whole Manceuvres loon
gave us reafon to fuppofe was an enemy, and
which, being a brig, we imagined to be the Malar-
tie. The ALBATROSS was immediately Bleared for
altion, and tacked with intention of (landing up
for the enemy, who loon after was perceived bear-
ing down on us. The night was very dark and
cloudy, with light variable winds. Both veffels
carefully concealed their lights : not the leaft
glimpfe could be teen on board either. Palling to
windward on the contrary tack, he wore, and
hauled up under our lee quarter within half a pif-
tol (hot, at the fame time firing two guns to bring
us to. Sufpeeing that it might probably be his
Majefly's armed veil MoNGoose, we hailed to
know; and was anfwered l'Adele, a French pri-
vateer ; heave to, lower your topfails, and fend
your boat on board.' To which Captain We izER
replied,' Yes, we will be on board very loon ;' and,
giving orders to fire, the ALBATROSS'S broadfide
was immediately difcharged at him, and it was in.
Randy returned. He was then upon our lee beam,
but after Tome manoeuvring got upon our weather
one, and which we did not take any pains to pre-
vent, as we could eafily perceive his intention was
to board—a cireumflance we rather withed than
dreaded, being very well prepared to receive him.
After nearly half an hour's action he laid us along-
fide, difcharged his broadlide, and attempted to
board us in the fmoke ; bat no boner did they at-
tempt it, then our tailors thruft them back at the
point of the bayonet and boarding-pikes. Capt.

his breaft, and he immediately fell backwards into
the pridateer. They now began to fly from their
quarters, and our people were eager to board in
their turn ; for which purpofe feveral gallant fel-
lows attempted to lath his howfprit to our main
rigging—but the (hip's pitching carried away the
tailings, and, in fpite of every effort on our part
to prevent it, he dropped aftern, made all the fail
be could, and ran for it—being now pretty well
convinced that he had not a harmlefs merchant-
man to deal with. We made all fail in chafe, and

laid each other atom fide, as it were by mutual
content, difcharging their broadlides into one ano-
ther at a time when the muzzles of the guns touch-
ed. Several were killed and wonuded on both
fides, and confiderable damage was done ; hut no-
thing could now damp the courage of our tailors,
and they were boarding in all parts, when the
Frenchmen hailed for quarter, ftruck, and was
taken poffeftion of by Mr. LAta et t r, Fait Lieute-
nant of the ALsaritoss.
