'My Lord, I beg leave to acquaint your lordship, that in obedience to your command, I con tinued off Uflrant with his majefty's-fqnad ron under my orders, confuting of the fol lowing vessels, (La Pomone, Artois, An ion, Sylph and Dolly cutter) until the 16th instant, when hearing the report of many guns to the southward, I flood round the weft end of the Saints, and at day break in the morning of the 17th, I a frigate, with a ship, corvette and brig, hav ing fourteen fail of vessels under convoy, in Hodierne bay; eight of which were cap tured. I art sorry to add, that the (hip, corvette and brig escaped round the Penmarks, and the frigate, by cutting away her malls, and being otherways lightened, ran on shore ; a brig laden with ordnance and naval stores, came to an pnehor near her, where it was impoffibfc for the Anfon and Sylph to fol low. The brig, however, was funk, and the frigate (La Calliope) much darpaged In her hull by the (hot of the above ment'- oned ffiip, whose officer's and men behaved with the greatcft zeal and aftivity, which inducts me to hope that the enemy will not be able to get her off, a3 the wind soon after changed to the south weft, with a great swell upon the beach. I was obliged to burn La Freedom, a large ihip armce en flute, laden with squar ed timber, as the enemy had run her on shore at high water, and the crew, with their wounded, got away in their boats. I have inclosed to your lordship a lift of • the vessels captured and deflroyed on the 17th mftant, with a return of the wounded on board his majesty's brig Sylph. I have the honour to be, &c. J.

The crew are encamped C near her bo fate such storeS as may be driven v on shore. S I am particularly indebted to captain c White, of the brig, who having an- ti chored with springs on his cable, within n pistol shot of the said frigate on the above 2 day, for some hours kept up an incessant t and well directed fire, which was at every p convenient opportunity returned by her. tl I perceived likewise the wrecks of La b Freedom, armee en flute, laden with tim- o ber, and the brig with ordnance, which a were driven ou shore the fame day and de stroyed. 1 I have the honor, &c.
