• GREENOCK, SEPT. (j.
Copy of a Letter received here from a person •on board the
ship Harmony, of this port, dated Cove of Cork, 29th Au-
gnst; 1814:- ,

" am sorry to inform you, that on Sa-
turday the 20th inst. at 6.P. M. off Yoiighall Jay,
and close in with Cable Island', we had the mis-
fortune to fall -iti with the extraordinary fast sail-
ing American. privateer, Prince of Neufchatel,
mounting 16 guns, with a crew of 70 men, John
Ondinot, Commander, seven weeks from CherbUrg,
during which time she had taken 18 vesse:s she
captured the brigs Albion and Sibson the day
before us; and destroyed .them—but finding the
Harmony a valuable prize, she put A prize-master
on board of her, took away our captain, mate,
carpenter, and part 'of the crew from her, on
board the pri‘ateer, and sent a crew from her on
board the Harmony; they teen took us in tow,
'and bore away a south-west course all night and
next day, until 11 A. as; when she hove to, and
'sent two boats' crews on board of uS., who com-
menced the work of destruction by catting Away
our boats, breaking open our hatches, throw-
ing our spars and ropes Overboard., breaking
open the casks of bottled' wine, destroying
every thing that came in the way, and said they
wanted nothing but dry goods, which they.begnn
to hoist on deck and semi on board the
„Priva-
teer, in four boats, which they kept goiiigAll-day
between the privateer art the ship. I, think they
have taken. about 300 packages from the [far-
pony.—They still kept us hrtow, and bore away
South-trust all Sunday night. On Monday, the
First Lieutenant of the privateer canie on board
of us, and gave instructions to the prize-master'
to make. alt sail for L'Orient (in France), which
course we continu•ed stfa'.ring, until 'Wednesday
the 24th, when we discovered a sail at a distance,
beating towards us ; at 12 o'clock came up and
hailed : she proved to be his Majesty',s sloop of war
Brisk, from Cork, which sent her boat on boafd
witlt a crew, took tie.: prize-master and his
crew Oil board the sloop of war, and ordered us for
Colc—the privateer all this time a short Way
a-head, but sailed so fast that the sloop of-war
could do nothing with liar. - The ship is now

without a Master or any other person to take
charge of her ; but I will remain on board until
I hear from you what IS to be done. There are
six of the crew still on board, and they will re-
main also.

(Signed) " WILLIAM INGLIS.

CROKEIt, ESq.--," I beg leave to state, the Bri-
tish vessels of the convoy, in a fog, off the harbour
of Cork, parted company without my permission.
I had previously acquainted them of having good
information of a number of American privateers
cruizing in the Channel.''

Extract of a Letter, dated Sept. 3, 1814, front
Vice-Admiral SAWYER, Cork Harbour, addressed
to J. W. CROKER, Esq.—" On the Derwent's
number; being made from Carlisle Fort, at 8 h. m.
the Horatio made the signal for the convoy un-
der protection to get under weigh, but owing to
the neglect of the Masters, very few of the vessels
got out of the harbour, when the ebb ceased ; at
which time, the wind having changed from E. to
nearly S. S. E.' the Horatio anchored at the en-
trance of it, and the Dement came in."--
