17 Mar 1808 His Majesty's Hired Cutter, Princess Augusta, Yarmouth Roads.
Sir, I have the Honour to inform you, that whilst cruizing, pursuant to your Orders, the Texel then bearing S. 40� E. distant Forty Miles, I fell in with, on the Evening of the 5th, and gave chace to a French Cutter Privateer, which, after a Chace of Twenty-four Hours, I drove on Shore at Katwick, it then blowing too fresh for the Boats to attack her and perceiving her Crew unrigging her, I stood as close in as possible, and attacked her from the Cutter, which she returned ; but on the Evening of the 8th, the weather moderating, I sent my boats in, and had the pleasure of destroying her, whilst under a heavy Fire of musketry from the Shore.

She proved to be, from the information of the fishermen, the Dunkerquois of Dunkirk, mounting 4 three-pounders and 45 men ; formerly HM Revenue Cutter Nimble, of Deal.
I have the Honour to be, &c. (Signed) A. M'Culloch.
To T. M. Russel, Esq., Vice Admiral of the Blue &c. Yarmouth.
