The brig attempted to get in 'bore of us, while the caber ter., with the affillance of their (weeps and boats. en deavonred In pin her.

I have however got all my men back fele. The brig was called la Petite ' Fille, •National gun brig. commanded by Monfienr Power, Lieutenant de Vaiffeau, and had on board one hundred and eighty troops, including about fifty officers of all ranks.

The two latter were alto National veffels, and had on board twenty-two officers. The Commanders of there vetch have Since told me that they were apprifed of our being on the coif. and that they had planned their mode of attack in Cumberland harbour, having determined on board ing us ; their lots is about forty killed and wounded. I feel great pleafure in informing you that I had not a fingle man killed ; the only perfoa hurt was Mr. Jona Trimmer the matter. who received a violent contolion, in the early part of the harmers. which deprived me of the farther Cervices of a truly brave and meritorious officer. The alive conduit of Lieut. Lain:ace, throughout the day, has fully ettablithed the character you gave him, with his commitfioa.— From the perfe& fatisfaftion the crew had given me on former occafioas, and their Ready and refolute behaviour at this, I have no doubt if the three veffels had (unneeded in boarding (which had the calm continued, it would be extremely difficult, if not impotfible to prevent) they would have met with a refinance worthy of Britith feamen, and that they would have had only to boaß of a very dear bought conqueß.
