Extract of a Letter from Captain Campbell of His Majesty's Ship the Nassau, to the Honourable William Wellestey Pole, dated off the Start Point, the 6th Instant.
I pleased to inform my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that at daylight this Morning, standing up Channel with the East India Convoy, observed a suspicious Lugger standing to the Southward, distant about 5 miles, made all sail in chace, but the breeze dying away, I sent 4 boats under the Command of Lieutenants Gregory, Pyne, Drake, and Jackson, who volunteered ; and, after a chace of 2 hours, came up with and carried her. I am well satisfied, had she been of much greater force they would have boarded her. She proved to be the Jean Bart, French Lugger Privateer, of 4 guns and 25 men, belonging to Saint Malo, commanded by Louis Ollivier Pilvesse, Enseign de Vaisseau, Five Days out from the Isle de Bas, and had made no Captures.
