The privateer York.

--The Norfolk Herald publishes the following extract from a letter received in that city from on board the privateer York:

‘ "We were at sea seven days, and captured a prize 115 miles eastward of Cape Hatteras. --She is worth about $90,000. We put a prize crew on board, and in coming in fell in with a man-of war. and had to beach her to keep them from taking her away from us. Our crew are now engaged in wrecking her. * * Look out for a big haul next time."
