The Gentleman's magazine. v. 84:pt. 1 (1814).
A letter from Captain Hope of the Endymion, dated Dec 4, announces, that while proceeding to join the Valiant in pursuance of Sir John Warren's orders, he captured after a chase of eight hours, the Perry letter of margue, a remarkably fine American schooner, of 230 tons measurement just of the stocks and copper fastened.
