Admiralty (vac, April 21, 11125.
Vice-Admiral Sir H. Neale has transmitted to this office a letter
from Capt. Hamilton, of the Cambrian, stating that two iratical ves-
sels, carrying 1 gun, and about 30 men each, were captured on the 31st
of Jan, last, in the Channel of Negropont, by the boats of his Ma. i
jesty's ships Cambrian and Seringapatam, under theorders of Lieut. i
Marsham, first of the Cambrian. When these pirates were first e+l
discovered, they were in chase cf an lonian vessel; anti thee*
being reason to suspect (as W 37 afterwards found to be the fact), th
they had shortly before plundered another vessel under the same
sag. Captain Hamilton sent Lieutenant Alarsitarn, in one of the
Cambrian's boats, with a Greek interpreter, to desire that they
would come down to his Majesty's ships for examination ; but the
pirates having refused to comply with this desire, Lieutenant Mar-
sham was joined by the other boats of the Cambrian, and by those
of the Seringapatam, sent by Captain Hamilton's orders to his
support. On the approach of the boats the pirates commerced
finng upon them front their guns, and with musketry, And perse-
vered in so doing notwithstanding the endeavour of Lieutenant
Alarsham to prevail upon them to desist, who, after exhausting,
even under their fire, every means of persuasion, was obliged at last
to attack them, and the pirate vessels were then in the most gallant
manner boarded and carrieL after a desperate resistance on the part
of their crews, of whom few only could be taken prisoners, the
