The Corrector, an American privateer of 20 guns, has resorted hither about 10 months, during which period she has sent in several prizes, all of which have been sold to the French Merchants here; this ship is a very good sailing vessel, is well manned with 160 seamen, and has this advantage, she does not run the hazard of having her prizes retaken by sending them to America, but brings them directly into this port, where they are bought up at a small price, and the prize-money distributed to the crew. The French have at present here five line of battle ships, four frigates, one bomb-ketch, a fireship, and two polacres of 14 guns.
