about three weeks ago. We hear that Lady CLIvE
is a paninger on board one of the Indiamen. The
True Briton, outward-bound, is arrived at the
Cape of Good Hope.
A letter from an officer on board his Majeßy's
nip LANCASTER, dated Cape of Good Hope, July
to, !Poi, fays--,, We are jUlt returned from a
four months cruise in the river Plata, after being
relieved by the JUPITER, Captain Losacic. On the
4th of June we captured a valuable (hip from Ca-
diz, with the Governor of Rio de la Plata on board.
We have alio taken feveral other prizesilbut of left
value. On our return, we captured a large Dann
EaR Indiamen, which I hope will prove a good
prize. The Ibt PERISUSI, Capt. ROWLEY, and the
DIOM SDI, Hon. Captain EL, H IN STON E,IIRVC male
feveral captures, and are now cruizing off the Ine
of France, where we expel to go. loon to relieve
them."

On the 23d of Auguß, his Majefty's fhip Arm.-
to &felled off Savann4h-la-Mar ( Jamaica), a fe-
lucca privateer i it being perfcaly calm, Captain
MILK/TT manned the barge and two other boats,
and fent them to attack her. The barge out-row-
ed the others, and got up to the privateer, when
her cordials remained a coafiderable dißance
aftern, and with a gallantry deferring a better fate,
they Tingly attempted to board. The felucca was
full of men; and after a revere conflia, our peo-
ple were overpowered, and the barge fent adrift.—
When the other boats came up with the barge, they
found only one man on board, dead, having been
run through the body, and the hat of the Marine
Officer very much cut and hacked: The barge's
crew confined of the Second Lieutenant of the
A rotto, a Lieutenant of Marines, and fourteen
men, all of whom, it is feared, have fallen viaims
to their too impetuous and Want gallantry.
