Sir, Please to inform my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that having Intelligence of a small Privateer being off Bally Cotton, I sent out Lieutenant Pulling, in the Mary Revenue Cutter, in Quest of her, and in a few Hours he fell in with the Beresford Revenue Brig, coming from Waterford, just as she had captured the said Privateer, a Chasse Maree, named L'Acheron, of 28 Tons, out of Morlaix, carrying 1 Carronade Eight-Pounder and 6 Swivels, and 40 Men. She is just arrived here, and had taken Three Vessels, all of which I understand are recaptured. I have, &c. R. Kingsmill.
