23d February, 1812.

SIR,

This forenoon, at ten o'clock, Cabrera bearing
E.S.E. fivesleagues, a schooner was seen •southward.
Mistaking 'is for a merchantman she came pretty
near us before she perceived her mistake. At half
,past twelve o'clock she made sail from us; at five
our shot brought her to, ;after trying us by and
large. She, proved to be Le Jean Bart, launched at
Marseilles five weeks ago, carrying one hundred
and six men, armed with five twelve and two six-
pounders, commanded by Monsieur Jean Francis
Cotilmne.

She sailed on the ►7th inst. nn her first cruise, is
copper-bottomed, copper fastened, one hundred and
forty-seven and a half tons burthen ; as fine a vessel
of her class as I have sear), has made no capture,
and has been chased by two frigates and a brig
within the last five days, but escaped by her admi-
rable sailing.
The Jean Bart was in every respeet-well calculated
to do much mischief to commerce.
I have the honour to be, &c.
W. STEWART, Commander.
