am happy in again having an opportunity
of cnllin their Lordships' attention to the zeal
and activity.of the Officers of his Maie'sty's squa-
dron, stationed of New London, under the orders
of the Hon. Captain Paget. •
The enclosed copy of a letters from hint ac-
quaint my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
of a very gallant and judicious ser‘ice, performed
.by a division of boats of the Superb and 3`.;introd,
under the cotnmand of Lieutenant Garland, of the
Superb, whose ability is most conspicaotishr dis-
played itt the masterly stratagem he resorted to,
for bringing- of the-whole of his force militia, itt
the face of a numerous militia, after having de...
stroyed upwards of twenty-fi've,hundred torts of
Shipping, and a valuable cotton mill belonging to
the enemy, situated at some distance- up the
coon-Zry. I have, Fie.

A. CO6IIIZANE:
Admiral and Connnander-in7Chrti.
Superb, Martha's Vineyard Sotarl; &me 14; 1814.
SIR,--Having received intelligence that,a fine
ship and brig, just built, the former fora letter of
marque, the other for a privateer, were with se,
veral other vessels lying at a place called Ware-
ham, at the head of Buzzard's I,3ay, 1i 'proceeded
hence and detached the Nimrod throttgh Quick..
Hole, with the boats of this ship, and two from
the sloop to destroy them, under the direction of
Lieutenant James Garland, first of the Superb
and I am happy to add, that the service was per-
fectly performed without any. loss on our part,
thought it was achieved under critical circum-
stances. The extreme intricacy of the. navicra-
tidn, rendered it too hazardous to attempt the
enterptize without the assistance of day-light,
which, however necessarily ,exposed the,boats upon
their return down the narrow stream, to a fire of,
is usquetry 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 succeeded in
obviating the danger that.was taus to be appre-
beaded, for having first destroyed all the vessels
and the valuable cotton manufactory, he .then as-
sembled the principle 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 influence that these persons .had over the
militia that collected and threatened a, cress fire
upon the boats from both banks of the river, has
been fully prOved. by their abstaining to molest
them, and of course tire hostages were afterwards

Teta nded at the first convenient spot. The cotton
Inanufactory had been lately built at great expellee,
`was full of stores, and belonged to•a company of
sixty merchants of Boston. 1 herewith send a
list of the vessels, &c. destroyed ; and 1 cannot in
justice omit -_to report to you, the-steady arid ex-
emplary conduct of the seamen and marines, who
though exposed to incessant temptation of liquor,.
&c. did not in any single instance tail to spurn the
offers made to theirs, and strictly to hold sacred
private property. I have; &c.
