Admiralty-Office, May 31, 1796.

Extract of a letter frem Commodore Sir John Warren to Evan Nepean, Esq; dated La Pomone, at Sea, May 25, 1796.
Beg you will inform their Lordships, that I on this day captured La Fantasie, a Republican Privateer, copper-bottomed, mounting 14 guns and 75 men, from Morlaix, on a cruize, she had been only 1 day from the above port, and had taken any thing.
