SIR , Princess Charlotte , December 13, 1804.
I have the honor to inform you, that at 10 A.M. Cape Antonio , East 4 Leagues , made all sail in chace of a Brig and after a hard chace of 7 hours , with a fresh breeze , came up with her in Lat. 20 Deg. 50 Min. N. Long. 85 Deg. 32 Min. W. having steered south the whole of the chace , and firing 4 or 5 shot at her she struck , and proves to be the French Privateer Brig Regulus , from Guadaloupe , commanded by Citizen Jacque Mathieu , pierced for 14 guns, but only 11 mounted, having thrown 2 overboard , with her boats and spars in the chace , and 84 men . She is a very fine vessel , sails remarkably well , is coppered , and is , in my opinion , perfectly adapted for His Majesty's Service ,
I have the Honor to be, &c
F . F. GARDNER .
