Admiralty Office, August 28 , 1762.

Captain St. John, of His Majesty's Sloop the Hazard, give an account, in his letter of the 7th Instant, off Zeeland, of his having, on the 15th, taken the Savage, a French Cutter Privateer, of 4 swivel guns and 15 men, belonging to Dunkirk, which had been out 4 days, and taken the Sloop Robert, John Hunt, Master, belonging to Ipswich, which Captain St. John had retaken ; but the Privateer being very leaky, he was obliged to sink her.
