On the part of the Americans the loss was comparatively nothing, two killed and seven slightly wounded; of the slain, we have to la- ment the loss of the second lieutenant Mr. Alexander O. AV'illiams of New York, a brave and meritorious officer. Among the wounded are Messrs. M orth and Johnson, first and third lieutenants; capt. Reid was thus deprived, early in the action, of the services of all his lieutenants; but his cool and intrepid con- duct secured him the victory. On the morning of the ...27th ult. One of the British ships placed herself near the shoie and commenced a heavy cannonade on the privateer. Finding further resistance unavailing, capt. Reid ordered her to be abandoned after being partially destroyed, to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy, who soon after sent their boats and set her on fire. At nine o'clock in the evening, (soon after the first attack) I ap- plied to the governor requesting his excellency to protect the privar teer cither by force or bv such remonstrance to the comrpantler of the squadron as would cause him to desist from any further attempt.
