His MWs Ship Coins , moored In the Elbe, Sept, as.
Sta—The ewe French privateers which were
Suing out up the Elbe at Hatbourgh in Hanover,
viz. la Caroline, of eight guns-, and thirty-five men,
and Lt Sophie, of ten guns and forty men, both
fchtbonees, I received intelligence on the tiith bad
come down to Cuxhaxen two days before, but as
2 found they were infide the Jettys, I could do no-
thing with theml on the both the y CAMe out with a
fair wind, and a vie* I believe, of trying the veils,
axercifing the people and efcaping by the North
Elbe, &mild chance befriend them. I difpatched all
the boats after theft' tinder Lieutenant Navies, belt
there was too much wind and tea, in fuch a tide's
way, to admit their attacking them. They appear,
however, to have fucceeded in canting them to fepa-
rate, the Caroline hauling her wind for Cuxhaven,
la Sophie bearing up for the North Elbe ; the latter
run on (bore Con the forth part of the Vogel Sand,
when the other bore up to prevent the boats deftroy-
ing her. Nen morning I got under weigh, and
exceeded in cutting or the Caroline from Cuzha-
yen, whom I captured about two miles from that
place. The wind increaling, on fending to anchor,
near the one on (bore, the (truck her colours alfo, and
the boats attempted to take the people out, but the
heavy tea on the fand rendered it irnpoilble—during
the night the wind chopped round to N. W. and blew
very hard: It brought to high a tide, that at three
in the morning the got off with the lots, I believe, of
her rudder, and I &mild imagine other wife a good
deal damaged, however the reached Cuxhaven, I
Think- I am, he. (Signed) A. I. entrrirms.
