Victory of Privateers Retake French Vessel Mary and Anne
In a coastal chase, the Swallow and Eagle Privateers, under Capt. Lilbourne and Capt. Daniel, retook the wool laden Mary and Anne from Rye to Toptham after pursuing a French privateer. They then sighted and captured a six gun six swivel privateer, the Price de Conti, near Boulogne, and later intervened as a Dogger privateer threatened two brigs ashore laden with stone and butter, reclaiming one and pursuing the other to Rye Harbour.
