Phaeton, at Sea, December 6, 1798.

My lord have the honor to inform your Lordship, that this day His Majesty's Ship under my command, in company with the Stag, captured a French Brig Privateer, called La Resource, carrying 10 guns and 66 men, 2 days out from La Rochelle, bound on a cruize upon the Coast of Africa.

I have the Honor to be, Sec. Ste. &c.

R. T. STOPFORD
