Captain LTA LL, of the Malty of Montrose, from Dublin to
Lynn, was bearded in the morning of tbc 6th instant by a Daal.la
sloop-rigged privateer from North Bergen, about seven miles to
the southward of the Buchanness. The privateer mounted ten
guns, had two white paint strokes, and a large flying jib. The
captain or officer who boarded the Mally told Captain LTALL,
that he bad captured eight vessels of various descriptions; but on
finding the cargo of the Malty was not of great value, and on
Captain I.v AL I. giving hint seven guineas and a few sea charts, he
allowed him to proceed. Captain L. thinks the object of hie
cruize was directed against Greenland ships; and not having men
to spare, was the principal motive for allowing him to escape.—
Captain Lroz.t.'s crew left him on the approach of the privateer,
but returned when he pnt off.
