Last Sunday morning two large smuggling cutters were carried into Lynn, by the Advice cutter, Lieut. WILLIAMS, Commander, which he took off Cromer, on Friday last in the night. He chaced [sic] them in the day for about seven hours, but carrying away his topmast, he seemed to bear away for Yarmouth-roads. -- They then brought up at anchor, which he observing, ran along-side one and took her, and to deceive the other, put his men on board the prize, then ran a-breast and boarded her immediately, when she struck without making any resistance. They had landed the chief of their cargo, as there was only 582 half ankers of geneva and brandy aboard them. They were above the force of the Advice very much, having not landed their guns and ammunition since the peace.
