ADMIRALTY OFFICE, APRIL 9, 1809.
Eitract of a Letter from Rear-Admiral Vashon, Commander in
Chief 14 Ids Majesty's Ships and Vessels at Leith, to the Hon.
W. W. Pore, dated on board his Majesty's Ship 'react, the

lasts*.
I have to request volt will be pleased to acquaint the Lords
Cernntissionerrof the Admiralty of the arrival here, last night,
of his Majesty's_ slurp Ringdove, from a cruize to the north-
arard'; and herewith I inclose a letter which I have received from
Lieutenant George Peak, her acting Commander, giving an ac-
count of the capture of the Danish privateer brig Forden Shieold,
Michael Geoff, Commander, one hundred anti ninety tons bur-
then, pierced for fourteen runs, but had tap: ten long sis-poun.
dens mounted, with a complement Gt Ihrtf:two men ; out four
boars from Bergen, and bad made five captures during former
smuts.
His Majesty's Sinnp Ringdove, Leith Roads, April 2.
I have the honour to acquaint you, that, in pin--
suance of the information I received at Balta Sound,
mentioned in my letter to you dated the 29th ult. a
copy of which is inclosed, respecting two privateers
being seen off Shetland in possession of a sloop, sup-
posed to be the Hope of Leith, I instantly weighed,
and stood under alt sail for Bergen. On the following
day, -at half past three P. M. being in latitude 60.50.
N. and longitude 3. 30. E. Bergen bearing east, dis-
tance thirteen leagues, and blowing heavy gall* from
the north by east, I have the satisfaction to acquaint
you, that we saw a sail steering towards us. On near-
ing her I made the private signals, supposing her to
be one of our own cruisers ; she immediately hoisted
Danish colours, and enffe,ed to effect her escape.
I wore, and soon closed avouT
with her to leeward ;—and
although I repeatedly ordered him, to shorten sail,
and heave to, he, trusting to superior sailing, obsti-
nately refused, which obliged me to fire a few shot at
her, the last of which unfortunately killed one man
and mounded two ; she then surrendered ; but in con-
sequence of the heavy sea I could 'lot get the priso-
ners On board till the following morning. She proves
to be the Forden Shieold, pierced for fourteen
guns, and mounting ten ; she had on board sixty-two
men, and was four 'hours from Bergen ; she is copper-
bottomed, well found, sails remarkably fast, and is
four years old ; she has been in commission four
months, and, in that time, made five captures, and
would probably have proved a great pest to our trade
had she not been taken. I am, &c. (Signed)
