have the honour to acquaint you, for the
information of my Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty, that ou Saturday last,. off Stilly, a large
French schooner privateer was forced to leeward on
the Modeste, by being chaced by his Majesty's sloop
Wasp, and I am glad to say the Modesto captured
her. The privateer, so confident of her, superior
sailing, would net bring to, until her rigging and
sails were much damaged by the shot-of the Modest.,
and three of her men wounded. I am happy in
making this capture, as she is a remarkably fine ves-
sel,, has run two years, and has done much mischief
to our trade; her name is Le Furst, of St. Malees,
commanded by Louis Maraucourt, one hundred and
seventy tons, fourteen guns, and had on board 98
men ; she hadleft Abram' the day before, and bsd
not made any capture.
I am, die.
