nith fchooner' from St. Domingo to Porto Rico with
paffengers. At 6 A. M. law a Itrange fail to the
eatlward. She proved to be a loop under Fret:ch
colours. I chaced her, firing feveral flints at her,
within gun-fhot of the forts of St. Domingo. Find-
ing it impoffible to take her, I gave chace to a brig
to the weftward. She proved to be an American.
At half pall four, faw a fchooner Handing out of
St. Domingo, (leering dire°. for us. I was in-
formed by the Spaniards on board that the was a
French national fchooner. 1 immediately hauled

prize under the lee quarter. At half pall eight,
the fchooner, windward, edged down within mullet
fhot, and opened a very heavy fire of mufketry and
great guns, which was immediately returned by the
teat
under my command. At nine, he bore
down with an intention of boarding, but met with
fo warm a reception, that obliged him to haul his
wind; he continued the engagement. At twenty
minutes pan nine made a fecond attempt to board.
Finding it impoffible,made all fail, firing his hem cha-
cers and mufketry. At eleven he tacked, and flood in
for the land. I immediately opened a very heavy fire
of grape and cannitler, with fmall arms, which con-
, tinned till half pall three A. M. at which time he
run on Chore on Point ilium. Finding the reef all

it impollible for the boats to do any thing, from the'

we have not a man killed; the only perfons wounded
were Mr. RoR SRI' MARLEY, Midlltipman ; THOMAS
Knox, and JOSEPH Lido, feamen, which deprived
me of a truly brave officer and two men: having on
board three tick and three wounded ; an officer of
our feamen on board the prize. The number of the
enemy's killed and wounded is unknown, but mull
have been confidetable, as 1 could plainly fee them
carrying the wounded in the bullies. (Signed)

Papillon, Savanna La Mar, April 15.
Sir—Having anchored at Savanna La Mar, I
gained intelligence from the mailer of a droger, that
a Spanifh felucca rigged privateer was off the Well
End to the very great anncyance of the coati, and
being very apprelienfive the might tnake her efcape
lhould I go after her in the Papa t.LoN, I judged it belt
to try and take her by Itratagem ; I accordingly got
one of the merchant flaps° fhallops, and difpatched
Lieutenant PR i t tilt, with 25 men, difguifing her as a
droger ; at eight the fame evening, he fell in a% lth
the privateer clofe under the land ; Lieutenant
Panne, in a very cool and brave manner, allowed
her to row alengfide, and make hettelf faft before
the enemy dilcovered his mittake, he then ordered the
mcn from below, fired a volley of' mulketry into her
and boarded ; and I am happy to inform you, in
four minutes the was completely in our poffeffion.—
She proves to be the Conception, Spanilh privateer,
of one brafs three pounder and twenty-five men, well
armed and equipped, about twenty.ti re tons burthen,

enemy was conliderable, having had (even men killed
and drowned, and eight badly wounded ; we, I am
happy to fay, had only two lightly wounded ; four
