"I beg you will be pleased to inform my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that on the 12th inst. at half past four P.M. being on a cruize [sic], Lowestoffe [sic] bearing N.W. two leagues, I saw a cutter, to whom I gave chace [sic], and at half past ten o'clock, being within hail, I fired two broadsides, which totally disabled her. She proves to be the Ferrett privateer, of Dunkirk, commanded by Francois Reni GRANGE, mounting twelve guns, and sixteen swivels, most of which he had thrown overboard during the chace, and manned with forty-four men."
