Two American Privateers, have put into Blaye near Bourdeaux, and desired to purchase Ammunition, which I am told has been refused them.
I have received a letter from Mr Delamain, one of the proprietors, of an English Vessel, called the Vine, which as I have already informed Your Lordship, was taken by an American Privateer.2 He tells me, that He cannot learn where his ship is, but is informed, that the Americans have unloaded her, taken part of her Cargo on board their own Ship, and disposed of the Remainder, along the Coast of france, without Attending to any form of Justice, or Legal Condemnation.
I am with the greatest Truth, and Respect, My Lord [&c.]
