La Pomone, at sea, July 18, I 797.
'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.

La Pomone, at fta, July 24, 1797.
My Lord,
I have the fatisfa&ion of acquainting r
your lordship, that I had an opportunity of
feeing that La Calliope republican frigate, 1
of thirty.fix guns and two hundred and fifty
men, that was left on shore on the 17th by
the Anfon and Sylph, is totally destroyed, t
having separated in the midship body, and fl
part of her funk. 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. A

er, aflifted by Mr. Jackson, master of the the
Ville de Paris, who volunteered his able 10
services, within 2500 yards of the walls of ant
Cadiz, and the shells were thrown from her twi
with much precifiam, under the dire&ion of ing
lieut. Baynts of the royal artillery; but un- ■ tro
fortunately it was soon found that a large i are
mortar was materially injured from its fer- j Uli
viees ; I therefore juded it proper for her to ! pol
return under the protection of the Goliah, j feffl
Terpsichore and Fox, who were kept tjnder | fid;
fail for that purpose, and for whose adlual thr
service I feel much obliged. 10,
The Spaniards having sent out a great Ma
number of mortar - gun boats and armed W<
launches, I dire&ed a vigorous attack to be Ka
made on them, which was done with such try,
gallantry, that they were drove and pursued
tlofeto the walls cf Cadiz, and iraift. have

pleafurt to iufoim two mortar- Bri
let- boats and ao armed launch remained in our

an- fuccefsful termination of tlw contefl to the
gallantry of capts. Freemantle and Miller,
the former of whom accompanied me in my
7- barge, and to my coxswain, John Sykes, who
in defending my person, is mod severely
up, wounded, as was capt. Freemantle, slightly
011- in the attack : and my praises are general
ad- ly due to every officer and man, some of
' whom 1 saw behave in the molt noble mart
in- ner, and I regret it is no> in my power to

my permitted to express my admiration of Don
the Miguel 1 yrafon, the commander of the gun
'ak boats, in his barge ; he laid my boat along
i a fide, and his refinance was such as to honor
ay- a brave officer, ißgfthe 26 men being kil

Sir,
HAV TNG been appointed by you to
I. "ny.nto effect th e law f or alleviating the
=== d ' Al "* ffes , of OMffeHow-citizeßs in. this time
,f C , a t y ' at,< * conceiving that the
ejr belt method to pursue is to give publicity to
I 2 our proceedings, as well for the purpose of.
procuring advice in time, as to prevent fun
n.ng into difficulties: Also, that you and
»d your fellow citizens may be enabled to judge
how far the money appropriated bylaw may
JT. reach, and means may be made life of in
time, to provide in cafe the calamity should
continue; These coniiderations induced the
Board of Comraiflioners to enter into a lefo
lution, that they would Iranfmit to you a
cur lory ftatejnent of their proceeding's wsck
lyi expefting that proper allowance will be
ITI , re fp e <ft to accuracy, arrifing
from the multiplicity of calls of attention
IS VT? member has > to the necessities of
our flittering fellow-citizens.
>- u F ! On J 4th to 9tU relieved two
hundred and eighty four persons, chiefly
- head ot families, with two hundred and six
ty mtie dollars and sixty five cents, besides a
jj- quantity of bread, account of cost not vet
received.
)e About two hundred and fifty men were
relieved by employment north and south on
the roads, and to open the water courses in
Southwark; so as to drain the stagnated
waters off the low grounds, at 75 cents per
day—add to the above, that provilion is to
g- be made, by this Board, for about two
hundred people that have rempved to the
tents, which comramced the 10th instant,
and great increase expefted.—When you
consider .his is but the commencement »f
our business, you will readily conclude with
us, that there is a probability the numbers
and confsqoenlly expences mavijicrrafe, and
probable double itfelf, before' the calamity
ceases.
f; Your letter of the gtfi inft. ha« been .at
tended to, a conference heM vmh
the supervisors of Roxbury and German
town. At we find it difficult to ob
tain the consent of those men that have sam-
S .. t .° £° so far from ho "ie, but in all pro
bability we may be shortly able te draft as
many single men as will answer the purpose :
that, with every other communication from
the governor, will meet with due attention.
That the Supreme Being may ihortly put
a period to the exifling calamity, and restore '
health to our afflifted eity, is the earnest
felicitation of this Board
