An American Privateer of twelve Guns came into this Road Yesterday Morning; tacked about on the firing of the Guns from the Castle, and just off the Island took a large Brig bound for this Port, which they have since carried into Cherburgh. She had the Impudence to send her Boat in the Dusk of the Evening to a little Island off here, called Jetto, and unluckily carried off the Lieutenant of Northey's Independent Company here, with the Garrison Adjutant, who were shooting Rabbits for their Diversion. Two Gentlemen of Consequence are gone to Cherburgh to demand them. The poor Pilferers got nothing but six or seven little Guinea Pigs made into a pye for the Gentlemens Dinner, and a few Bottles of Claret, though the Brig they took is valued at 7000 1. belonging to Squire Tupper.
