===================================

CORK, MARCH 30. -- Yesterday evening, the Resolution revenue cutter, Captain Elsmere, returned to Cove. -- She had been sent by Admiral Drury, to cruise off Scilly for the privateer which lately captured the Perseverance, Captain Donovan. On last tHursday morning, at day break, she descried a sail considerably to windward, and at eight o'clock discovered her to be a brig with French colours flying. Upon nearing her, the brig fired a gun to bring the cutter to, which not being answered, a sort of running fight commenced till nine o'clock, from which time till twelve, a close engagement was maintained, when the Resolution was obliged to relinquish the unequal encounter, having then but one gun serviceable. The Frenchman made two attempts to board, which the dexterity of Captain Elsmere prevented. On the receipt of this intelligence, Admiral Drury immediately ordered the Brilliant and Dryad frigates to put to sea, though the wind blew directly into the harbour's mouth. The Brilliant succeeded in turning out in the evening. The Dryad sailed at an early hour this morning. From the promptitude of these orders, and the hardy impudence of those contemptible privateers, we may soon expect to hear, in the sea phrase, "a good account of them."
