SIR —I have the honour to tranfmit you the copy
of a letter from Captain BETTSSWORTH; Comman-
der of his Majesty's (loop CURI EU X; detailing an ac•
count of the capture of the Madame Ernouf priva-
teer, after a very tharp aflion, in Which the Captain
of the privateer difplayed an extraordinary degree of
obtlinacy, and by it loft the lives of many men. The
cnolnefs and bravery of Captain Burvitsworrn, his
Officers and Men, early manifelled its fuperiority.—
Indeed I want words to exprefs the gallantry and
fpirit of this officer, who In lately received three
wounds in capturing the (loop he now commands ;
has again a fevere wound by a musket ball in the
head ; and I unit will merit the notice of the Lords
Commiffioners of the Admiralty, as an emulative
and promising Officer, that has gained every Rep by
his zeal and courage. I am, &c. SAM. HOOD.
Curieux, at Sea, February 11,
St it—l have to inform you, that this morning, at
break of day, Batbadoes bearing Weft about 20
leagues, I perceived a large brig on our lee bow, who
immediately bore up and made all fail away, and
after a chace of twelve hours, during which time
the tried every point cf failing to efcape us; we ar-
rived within point blank that of her, when the took
in her Budding fails, and brought-to on the ftarboard
tack, hoitled French colours, and commenced a very
brill: and heavy fire of great guns and (mall arms ;
on our arriving within pitlol Rim, and ranking upon
her weather quarter, we difcharged our gum:, and
the aelion continued with great ohitinacy on both
fides for about forty minutes, when the enemy get-
ting on her weather quarter, I conceived, from
their having in a great meafure left their guns, and '
giving three cheer,, that they intended to board u 3 ;
the was then Reding for our leeward quarter, when
we put our helm to Rathoard, and caught his jib-
boom between our after fore (Inoue' and tore mall.
In this tittiation the remained until her decks were
completely cleared, when; at the moment we were
going to take poltellion, the vetfels parted, and her
foretop mail went overboard ; the continued a (Lott
time firini" musketry, and then hauled down bet co-
lours, and proved to be la Dame Ernouf, of flatten
long French fixes, and 120 :nen, out twenty days from
Guadaloupe, and had taken one merchant (hip (lince
retaken by his. Majefty's !loop NI SI ROD) ; fails very
coppered, and remarkably well found; but al-
though the carries the fame number of guns, and of
the fame calibre as the Cuaisur, the is not near fo
large. I can attribute her fighting In long and ob-
Itinately to nothing but the Captain being part owner,
her having run, fence the commencement of the war,
with fo much fuccefs, and her being fo well manned.
His Majetty's brig had five killed and three wound-
ed, betides myfelf ; of the former, I have to regret
the lots of a valuable Officer, Mr. MADDOCK:, the
Putter, who (on account of Mr. Boss, Firft Liente-
mint, having been left behind, on leave, from the hurry
et our failing) volunteered his fervices, and was killed
gallantly.fighting at the head of the (mall arm men.
I cannot help Rating as a tribdte to the memory alb
worthy a young man, that to the fervice, he is the
lots of a very good officer, and to every body that
knew him, a valuable friend and companion. Lieu-
tenant Boss having been left behind, deprived me of
the fervices of an able and gallant officer, but Lieu-
tenant DONALDSON fo well fupplied his place, not only
by exertion at the guns, but putting the orders that
were given in execution, although the only Officer
had on board, but Mr. Canny Matter's Mate, and
Mr. Ts mrirrow Boallwain, that I did not, by their
great atEltance, feel the want of an individnal. The
enemy had 3o killed :nd 4t wounded ; and in juilice
to his gallantry, I mutt fay lie never [truck whilst
there was a man on his decks. I have the honour to
be, &c. (Signed) G. a. a. EETTESII'O2T!i.
