The Joseph, an English South Sea Ship, Prize to the Minerve French Privateer.
It will, 1 airi sure, give you particular satisfaction to find La Gironde one of the number, as she has long been an active and successful cruizer against the commerce of our country, and was now returning to port with 53 english prisoners taken in the vessels hereafter specified. L'Alerte is only 6 Days from Bordeaux, and was fitted purposely to cruize for the Homeward-bound West India Convoy.
I have the Honor to be, &c &c. &c.
