Admiralty-Office , January 16, 1798 .
Copy of a Letter from the Honorable Captain Stopford , of His Majesty's Ship Phaeton , to the Right Honorable Admiral- Lord Bridport , dated at sea , the 31st of December , 1797 .
My Lord , I have the honor to inform your Lordship , that, on the 29th Instant , His Majesty's Ship under my command captured a French Brig Privateer , of 14 6-pounders , called L'Hazard , and also a Spanish Merchant Vessel , from Nantes , bound to St. Sebastian , laden with sundry articles of merchandize . The former (by whom I send this letter) sailed from La Rochelle 24 hours before her capture and was proceeding on a cruize to the Southward ; the latter being small , and of little value , I destroyed . The Anson parted company the same night , in chace of a ship that had the appelrante of a corvette, and I have not seen her since .
I have the honor to be; &c.
