From the LONDON GAZETTE* Jan. 28. Admirally.Office, Jan. 28, 1815. Copy of a Letter from Captain Sir George R. Collier. K.C.B. of his Majesty's ship Leander, addressed to Rear Admiral Griffith. and trans- mitted to John Wilson Croker, Esq. fl. ill S. Leandsr, Dec. 29, 1814. Sin,—I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that with the squadron under my orders, being in quest of the American ships of war which escaped during the late gales from tho port of Massachussets. 1 had ihe good fortuue, yester- day at sunset, to capture the celebrated priva- teer Prince de Neufchatel, hermaphrodite rig ged, pierced for 22 guns, and having eighteen mounted, six of which are long nine and twelve pounders, and tllc, rest twelve pounder carro- nades measures 330 tons, wilh a crew of 130 men, under the command of Nicholas Millin, by birth a Fretiriiman, aud one of superior professional skill aud enferprize. Siie sailed from Boston on the 21st iust. aud is the com- pleted vessel I ever saw. The activity of the Captains of the Newcastle and Acasla cut off the chance of escape from this cruizer dur- ing a chnse of ten hours, the wind blowing a hard gale. I cannot refrain from congratu- lating you on the capture of this vessel, as she had been chased during former cruizes by up- wards of sixty different British men of war, and frequently under their guns; nor did she to, in the present instance, till the shot from this ship aud the Newcastle were flying over her.
