His Majesty's Ship Guerriere, at Sea, SIR, July 20, 1808.
I have the honour to acquaint you with the capture, on the 17th Instant, of the French Cutter Privateer Peraty, (late His Majesty's Cutter Barbara) of Guadaloupe, after a chace of 24 hours, by His Majesty's Ship Guerriere under my command.
This vessel, mounting 12 18-pounder carronades, with 90 men, and commanded by M. Maurison, sailed from Charleston on the 10th Instant, where he had been refitted and furnished with stores and provisions for 3 months. She was discovered in the track of the valuable Jamaica Fleet, under convoy of the Veteran, of which she had obtained most correct information as to their strength, number, and situation, from the Master of an American Brig, who had himself claimed and received the protection of that convoy, which he betrayed to the enemy in 24 hours after parting company.
I am, &c. (Signed)
ALEX. SKENE
