Com or a Letter from Vice-Admiral the Honourable Sir Alex s Cochrane, K. B. to John Wilton Czoker, Ea+ dated at Bermuda, the lath July, 1214. Sin— I am happy in again having an opportunity of calling their Lordships' attention to the zeal and activity of t'ie Officer; of his Majesty's squadron, stationed off New London, under the ceders of the Honourable Captain Paget. The enclosed copy of a letter from him, wilrac qnaint my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, of a very gallant aid judicious service, performed by a division of boats of the Superb and Nimrod, under the command of Lieutenant Garland, of the Superb, whose ability is most conspicuously displayed in the masterly stratagem he resorted to, for bringing 01 the whole of his force unhurt, in the face of a nume rous militia, after having► destroyed upwards of twenty-five hundrid tons of shipping, and 1 valuab'e cotton mill belonging to the enemy, situated at some 4;stAnce up the country.—l have the honour to be, tc. (Sigr.ed) A LIMAN DER CocnaMnt, Vice-Admiral and Commander in Chief. P. S. I enclose also a list of the shippiag destroy ed, and the names of the Officers employed upon the occasion. Superb, Manila's Vineyard Sound, June 14, 1814. ieceived intelligence that a fine ship and brig, just built, the former for a letter of marque, the other for a privateer, were with several other ves sels lying at a place called Wareham, at the head of Buzzard's Bay, I proceeded hence and detached the Nimrod through Quick's with the boats of this ship and two from the sloop to destroj them, under the direction of Lieutenant flames Garland, first of the Superb ; and I am happy to add, that the service was perfectly performed without any loss on our part, though it was achieved under critical . circumstances. The extreme intricacy of the navigation, rendered it too hazardous to attempt the enterprize without the assistance of day-light, which however necessarily exposed the boats, upon their return dowa the nar row stream, to a fire of musketry from a numerous militia, which had collected from the vicinity-on the first alarm being given. But the foresight and prompt resolution of Lieutenant Garland, completely suc ceeded in obviating the danger that was thus to be apprehended, for having first destroyed all the ves sels and the valuable cotton manufactory, he then daseertained the principal people of the place, and se cured them as hostages for a truce, till the boats were conducted back out of the reach of difficulty the in iltienfe that these persons had over the militia that reflected and threatened a cross fire upon the boats from both hanks of the river, has been fully proved by their abstaining to molest them, and of course the /lostages were afterwards relanded ar the first con venient spot. The cotton manufactory had been lately built at a great expense, was full of stores,. and belonged to a company of sixty merchants of Boston. I herewith send .a list of the vessels, ate. destroyed; and I cannot in justice omit to report to you, the stead,' and exemplary conduct of the seamen and inarines, who, though exposed to incessant tempta tion of liquor, tte. did not in any single instance fail to spurn the otlcrs made to them, and strictly to hold sacred private property.—l have the honour to be, (,signed) icc.

Prince Christian made proposals. Had a battle taken place, the result was not doubt ful ; but it would have cost many lives, and spread mourning over the two kingdoms. The Crown Prince accepted the proposals. " Auouirr 15.—Ginerals Skioldebrand and Bjons hema returned from Moss, whither they had been to inform Prince Christian f the Crown Prince's reso lution on his proposals.
