Do you mean American Privteers captured and then used by the British. Or North American privateers commissioned with a British Letter of Marque e.g. from Halifax or Quebec?

This may not be exactly what you're after, but this site lists American, British, and Canadian* privateers from the war: http://www.1812privateers.org/Canada/

*Since Canada didn't exist yet, they were just British privateers, but the distinction is made for people and ships sailing from Canadian ports such as Halifax, rather than England. Or at least I understand that to be the case.

Hi!
There are some listings only.
Nearly no data about orgins and none about final fates.
