"The Master of the Hero transport, arrived here from New York, says, that in lat. 50, 30, long. 9, he fell in with an American privateer, whom he engaged some time, he having ten six pounders on board during the action. The Two Brothers, another transport, and part of the convoy, came in sight, and bore down to them, on which the privateer crouded all the sail she could, and left him. He said he should have chaced her, as the Two Brothers came to his assistance, but that he knew she had much the heels of him, and he could never hope to come up with her, unless by some ac cident of her carrying away a mast, &c. The privateer is described to have 10 guns, a black vessel, snow rigged, to sit very well on the water, and to have a number of hands on board, from whence it is concluded she was not long from port.["]
