ADMIRALTY OFFICE, AUGUST 27.

Com or a Letter from Vice-Admiral the Honourable Sir Alex-
s Cochrane, K. B. to John Wilton Czoker, Ea+ dated at
Bermuda, the lath July, 1214.

Sin— I am happy in again having an opportunity
of calling their Lordships' attention to the zeal and
activity of t'ie Officer; of his Majesty's squadron,
stationed off New London, under the ceders of the
Honourable Captain Paget.

The enclosed copy of a letter from him, wilrac-
qnaint my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
of a very gallant aid judicious service, performed by
a division of boats of the Superb and Nimrod, under
the command of Lieutenant Garland, of the Superb,
whose ability is most conspicuously displayed in the
masterly stratagem he resorted to, for bringing 01
the whole of his force unhurt, in the face of a nume-
rous militia, after having► destroyed upwards of
twenty-five hundrid tons of shipping, and 1 valuab'e
cotton mill belonging to the enemy, situated at some
4;stAnce up the country.—l have the honour to be,
tc. (Sigr.ed) A LIMAN DER CocnaMnt,
Vice-Admiral and Commander in Chief.
P. S. I enclose also a list of the shippiag destroy-
ed, and the names of the Officers employed upon the
occasion.

Superb, Manila's Vineyard Sound, June 14, 1814.
ieceived intelligence that a fine ship
and brig, just built, the former for a letter of marque,
the other for a privateer, were with several other ves-
sels lying at a place called Wareham, at the head of
Buzzard's Bay, I proceeded hence and detached the
Nimrod through Quick's with the boats of this
ship and two from the sloop to destroj them, under
the direction of Lieutenant flames Garland, first of
the Superb ; and I am happy to add, that the service
was perfectly performed without any loss on our part,
though it was achieved under critical.circumstances.
The extreme intricacy of the navigation, rendered it
too hazardous to attempt the enterprize without the
assistance of day-light, which however necessarily
exposed the boats, upon their return dowa the nar-
row stream, to a fire of musketry 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 suc-
ceeded in obviating the danger that was thus to be
apprehended, for having first destroyed all the ves-
sels and the valuable cotton manufactory, he then
daseertained the principal 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 in-
iltienfe that these persons had over the militia that
reflected and threatened a cross fire upon the boats
from both hanks of the river, has been fully proved
by their abstaining to molest them, and of course the
/lostages were afterwards relanded ar the first con-
venient spot.

The cotton manufactory had been lately built at a
great expense, was full of stores,. and belonged to a
company of sixty merchants of Boston.
I herewith send .a list of the vessels, ate. destroyed;
and I cannot in justice omit to report to you, the
stead,' and exemplary conduct of the seamen and
inarines, who, though exposed to incessant tempta-
tion of liquor, tte. did not in any single instance fail
to spurn the otlcrs made to them, and strictly to hold
sacred private property.—l have the honour to be,
(,signed) icc. CHARLES-PAGET.
