His Majesty's Ship Sheerness, off Point de Galle , 6th May 1804. Sir ,
Cruizing here pursuant to your directions, for the protection of Trade in general, and of the Extra Indiaman the Glory in particular, I captured yesterday the French Privateer Brig L'Alfred : she was commanded by Captain Crevel, mounts 14 Guns, carries 80 Men .
He left the Mauritius in December last, and the only Prizes she has made are : the Brigs Friendship, on the 27th March, and Endeavour, on the 6th April, both from Madras to Prince of Wales's Island, and of little value . She sails well and is a remarkable fine Vessel.
I have the Honor to be, &c.
