My lord I have the honor to acquaint your Lordship, that His Majesty's Ship under my command captured last night the Mars French Ship Privateer, belonging to Bordeaux, mounting 20 12-pounders and 2 36-pound carronades, and manned with 180 men : She had been out on a cruise, had made several captures, and was returning into port. I feel peculiar pleasure in having made this capture, as she was esteemed one of the finest privateers fitted out of Bordeaux.
I have the Honor to be, &c &c. &c.
