I

Acafta at Sea, Zacheo S. W. diftant SIR, Seven Leagues, 13th July, 1798. HAVE the Pleasure to inform you, that fince my Letter of the 9th May, the Acafta and Ceres have taken, burnt, and deftroyed, the following Veffels, viz.

By the Acafta.

May 1, The St. Mary, of Four Guns, and Twenty-eight Men; pierced for Four Guns.

The Ceres chafed on the ft June La Mutinie French Privateer Brig, of Eighteen Guns and One Hundred and Fifty Men, to Windward of St. Juan; but, from the State of the Weather and Shoal-Water, was unable, for fome Days, to take Poffeffion of her; the Crew, in the Interim, had warped her close in Shore for the Purpose of defending her from the Beach; Captain Otway however fent his Boats the

first Moment the Weather permitted, (covering them with the Ceres,) under the Command of LieutenantWooldridge. The Enemy having fet Fire to her, quitted, and formed in great Numbers on the Beach, keeping up a very heavy Fire on the Boats; while taking Poffeffion of her, and ftriking the Colours, fome of the Ceres' Shot having taken Place below her Water Line, fhe filled, which making it im. practicable to bring her off, the Fire was permitted to take Effect. The St. Jufef de Victoriofo, of Eight Guns (but pierced for 15) and 50 Men, from Europe, was chafed on Shore by the Acafta, Six Leagues to Windward of St. Juan; the Boats of which Ship being fent to take Poffeffion, and finding it impoffible to bring her off, fet fire to and completely destroyed her. The Ceres chafed to Windward on the Morning of the 6th of May a Sail to the Eastward into the Mona Paffage. Intelligence was received, upon which was placed great Dependence, that the French Privateers were doing in- · credible Mischief off the N. E. End of Porto Rico, and of Two Spanish Frigates being daily expected at St. Juan; we immediately proceeded thither, and made all the above Captures off that Port, but both Ships being extremely fhort of Provifions and Water, the Ceres not having more than Two Days of all Species on board, I thought it most adviseable, under the exifting Circumftances, to recruit at St. Thomas's; to which Ifland we made the best of our Way, and returned in Four Days from the Time we left our former Station to it again. I am forry to add that the Day previous to our Arrival at St. Thomas's, one of the Enemy's Frigates (the Venus) got into St. Juan, the other we are anxiouly looking for, and you may rely upon our remaining out until the laft Moment, in Hopes of falling in with her; having this Initant captured a Polacre Ship from St. Juan, bound to Vera Cruz, under Greek Colours, affords me the Opportunity

of
