W., saw two sail on her starboard bow, bearing S.E. At two observed one of them making signals, and found they were both brigs. At three supposed one of them to be a privateer, and the other her prize, and cleared for action. At half past three the supposed prize, apparently a foreign vessel, hauled her wind to the eastwards. The other standing on, hoisted English colours, and fired a gun to leeward, and directly after bore down towards the Maxwell, the prive heaving about on the other tack. At half past four the privateer hauled down the English ensign and came within gun-shot; Capt. Edwards fired the quarter deck guns at her and hoisted his colours. the enemy not shewing her's, shortly after fired at them a second time, when coming within pistol-shot she hoisted a French ensign and pendant, and a red flag at the fore, and commenced firing on the quarter of the Maxwell, which was kept up very warmly on both sides until half past five, when, after an ineffectual attempt to board her, she sheered off, and hauled her wind to S.E.; her braces, top-sail, and top-gallant ties being shot away, and her rigging otherwise much injured. She was pierced for 14 guns, appeared to have 12 mounted, and was full of men.
