Several vessels, lugger-rigged, are preparing, by
order of the Admiralty, to cruise in the Channel, to
I prevent the depredations of the enemy's privateers.
We mentioned yesterday the capture of the Cita:
LENGER sloop of war, by a French squadron that es-
: capcd from Cherburgh. The enemy's force, we learn,
consisted of a ship of the line, a frigate, and two brigs.
They stole out of Cherburgh on the nth, and were
l'cieeping along shore within the Island of Jersey, when
%bey were discovered by the Cnai.t.sNotta. She stood
towards them- to reconnoitre, and having ascertained
1 what they were, she was proceeding to'cortnnunicate
the intelligence to some of our cruizers, when sbe
fortunately carried away her fore-top-mast; lAA%
gave the frigate an opportunity of coming up apd
capturing her. Four hours after, the PLANTAGINZT
got sight of, and gave chase to the Frenchmen, but
with little prospect of being able to prevent them from
reaching Brest.

eiTed at Cork.
