Recaptures of one of our vessels with six of the enemy as prisoners.
--The Norfolk Day Book states that Captain Adams' sloop, which the enemy captured several weeks ago, with a load of bacon from Smithfield, bound to Norfolk, was recaptured on Thursday up James River.
It appears she had some five or six persons on board who were engaged in a reconnoitering expedition, and having got up the river beyond the protection of the enemy's guns, the wind died out and left them to the mercy of their captors, who pounced down on them in boats and secured vessel and crew.
