Admiral of the Blue. &e. to EVAN NEPLAN, Elq. dated off Main the 2orli Lift. St a—l have the honour to tranfniit to you, for the information of the Lot dsCommillioners of the Admiralty, a letter from Captain WEMY ss, of his •Majefty's fhip the UNICORN, enclofing one from Captain GRIFFITHS, of the ATA L ANTE hoop, both ftationed in watching the coaft of Qt_tiberon. (Signed) CORN we LLI s. Fru Majcity's Itdp UNICORN, (taiberon Bay, Aucuft 14. SIR—By his Majefty's hoop ATALANTF (which I have fent to you, being !bort of provilions) I en clole n journal of my proceedings and ftatement of the thip,hy which you will fee we have barely a month's provifions. Hitherto, notwithilanding all my exertions in fending the boats away armed on different occa lions, and moving with the fhip, I have only been able to capture one Chalk Maree, of forty tons, laden with lime, not worth fending in, (in which bonnet's we bad the misfortune to have one feaman kiiled, and one flightly wounded,) and to deftroy one, fame burthen, laden with corn. Several convoys are lying at different places, ready to flip out ; the largeft of which, (in the Morbihan,) by anchoring near that place, and commanding the palrages to the Wellward, I have prevented gloving. His Majelly's hoop Arm. ANTE has been rather more fortunate,having captured three fmall ' light boats, and l'Eveille armed lugger. The gallantry of this affair, to which I was an eye. wit nefs, is fully mentioned in Captain GRIFFITH'S letter, a copy of which I enclofe, and beg leave to fay he (peaks my fentiments on that fubjeft. I hope this account of my proceedings will meet your approbation ; and I have the honour to re main, &c. (Signed) c. WEMYSS. ATALANTLAtIibCrOII Bay, Aug. is. Sir—l- have to acquaint you, for the intbrma tion or the Commander in Chief, that yellerday the fix-oared cutter of his Majefly's (loop under my command, manned with eight men, captured the French armed lugger l'Eveille, in the fervice of the Republic, of 58 tons, mounting two four-poun ders and four large fss ivels, carrying a pound and half ball : the cool intrepidity with which they rowed up, in face of a bra difeharge of cannit: ter and grape from the lugger, and the crofs-fire of two fmall batteries, could not fail to excite my admiration: they boarded and took her a mufket lhot from the Chore, (the crew deferting her at the moment) and I am happy to add, brjught her off -without any body hurt on our part. The Ready determination and good condiql of Mr. Fttaticts SMITH (who commanded) claims my fulled approbation ; and I trull I may be per mitted ilrongly to recommend him to notice, as well as to exprefs my thanks to the boat's crew who lo ably feconded him. I am, dec: (Signed) A. J. GRIFFITHS. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZE-MONEY.

Tuefday fe'nnight his Majefty's fhip PANDOUR, Of so guns, Capt. SI4OII.TLAND, arrived at Cove, from Plymouth, with troops on board, and failed on Thurfday for Egypt. &ovular:: UP OF THE JASON FRIGATI.—We Tome time fince announced the lofs of this fhip on the French coaft, in the neighbourhood of St. Ma. lots, and we have row the fatisfaltion to obferve, that, owing to the gallant and active interference of our people, the enemy has been deprived of the advantage which refulted to him from the accident. Captain CUNNINGHAM, of . the CLYDE, command ing the fquadron on the waft, being apprized of the intention of the enemy to float the wreck of the JasoN into St. Maloes, they having fucceeded in hauling her under the proteetion of two of their batteries, by lightening her of her guns, tcc. de. termined to attempt to burn her. Accordingly, on the sth init. the boats of the fquadron, under the orders of Lieut. Ross, of the Wirazts, board ' ed the wreck, notwithftanding the formidable op.. pofition prefented by the batteries, a gun-brig, !even flats, betides row-gallies, cutters, Bcc. with which the was furrounded. Lieut. Ross proceeded to fet her on fire ; but, owing to the riling of the tide, the proje& proved abortive. The condition of the veffel was, however, fuch as to make her a valuable acquifition to the enemy; and the failure of the attempt to deftroy her, far from deprefling the energy of our people, only fuggefled the means for a renewed and more friccefsful effort. It was refolved to try to blow her up ; and on the fol lowing day Lieut. Ross again proceeded to the wreck—the boats of the WaszLE, Issotsar, and Lieges-it, at the fame time engaging the enemy's fquadron, for the purpofe of diverting his atten tion from bur objed. At half-pa ft twelve Lieut. Ross boarded, under a heavy fire from tbe bat teries: at one o'clock, having arranged every thing and fet fire to the train, our gallant party left the (hip, a d in thirty-five minutes (he was blown to atoms. The enemy conceived they had defeated our purpofe, and were aftonifbed at the explofion. In this fervice, fo creditable to the parties, we had not a man either killed or wounded. The French had in St. Maines two large frigates, three brigs, three cutters, and eight large flat-bottomed boats, but they were deterred from any movements by ithe appearance of our fquadron, which comprizes • une frigate, three brigs, and two luggers.
