BGThalia, March 6, I 798.
My Lord, Have the honor to inform you, that on the 27th of February, being 40 leagues N. W. of Lisbon, after a chace of 6 hours, I captured the Spanish Schooner San Josef, mounting 6 guns and 10 swivels, with 40 men on board ; she sailed from Villa Nuova the 15 th of February, and had taken nothing. And on the 4th of March, at sun-rise, being off the Rock of Lisbon, I discovered a Brig in shore, which I gave chace to, and at 9 o'Clock arrived up with her, when she proved to be the Victoria Spanish Brig, of 14 guns and 10 swivels; she took an English Brig in ballast the day before off St. Ube's, and sent her into that port.
I am, Sec.
H. PAULETT.
