PENZANCE, SE►TEMBER to.—Since my letter of
yefterday, the RANGER Revenue cutter, Captain
FRAZER, is put in here for hands ; and the Earl
Spencer cutter privateer, of Dover, T. CHITTY
mailer, has returned from a cruize. On the 26th
ult. the latter fell in with a French brig privateer,
fuppnfed to be the Venus, of Nantz, which flse en-

gaged for an hour and a half, in fuch a manner, as
obliged the enemy to retreat after lofing fix or (even
men, and no doubt feveril wounded. The Earl Spen-

ter had one man killed, and f:ven wounded ; one of

whom is knee dead of his wounds. Capt. Currvy's
arm was broken in the engsagement by a mufket ball,
but in other refpe6ls he is very well. A young man
belonging to this town is jun brought on chore, hav-
ing his thigh broken, and for want of proper Ail-

ance, his life is defpaired of : this man's brother was
wounded by a mufket ball, which grazed the top of
hi% head, but not dangeroafly. The above young
Inn have been the principal fupport of their mother,
a poor widow : it is humbly hoped that the benevolent
(who have in fo liberal a manner come forward with
their thoufands) as an encouragement to brave men
to offer their fervices to their Xing and Country, will

tranfmitted you, but whether they really *ere French
privateers (or not), I will not take upon me to de-
termine.

PLTwourn, Seer. t t.—This morning arrived in
Cawfand Bay, the LORD Nst.son EaR Indiansan, of
London, of :6 guns, Capt. Rosser Srotrtatoons,

five weeks ago by the Montt French privateer, of
36 guns, after a very (mart action of one hour and
40 minutest during which the loft her mizen-maft,

men killed and wounded m among the former wets

portunity offered for attacking her, which was done

As the was entering Corunnas and the Saaoot.t. came
ith her prize this morning: a number of peen-
gers are on board, and many of them Ladies, return.
ing to their native country.
It appears that the privateet's advantage over the
L^RD NILSON, was in number of men, which en-
abled them to run her alongfide, and board with
fuccefs. The Putter landed here this morning, end
At of immediately esprefs for London. Among
the wounded arc the Captain and Puffer of the Loan

St -GULL had been 19 hours in chece of her. The
L.ao Ntason had be= reviosfy engaged four fa-

veral tames by a Guernfey privateer, which annoyed
her very much. The Captain's brother was killed in
engaging the Guernfey privateer, and the Colonel
by a thot from the SEAGULL. They were taken off
Cape Clear the I 4th Auguft, and were three days in
polleffion of the French. Letters from the NC/GUINN,

fathionables are expeded from Ramfgate and Mar-
gate to fee this grand fpeftacle, which will, no
doubt, be very fine ; and, indeed, too much cannot
be laid in praife of the Officers and brave men who
