DOWNING-STRICT MARCH 7. A Letter of which the following is an ExtraCl, has brat re ceived by the Right Honourable 1 - 11:14 RV NDA., One of his Majelty's Principal Secretarbs of State, front Licitt.- ttuant-Colonel Ftt.trett, Commandant of the I :arrlftua of Colic, on the eoalt of Afriia, dated off Sen.gcl, January 5, !Sot. On the 3d inflant, the weather being very fa vourable, and the furl unufually 1, - ,w, it was de terinined by Sir CHARLES HAMILTON and myfelf to attack an armed brig and fchooner lying at an chor in the River. The party &dined for this fcrvicc, confiding of fifty-five Volunteers from the MLI.romENF, under the command of Lieutenant five from the crew of theTaAwsPOßT,and thirty-p\ commanded by Lieutenant CHRIsTIE, from the A tricln ern-, left the frigate at half pail iliac o'clock in five boats, and having patfcd the h. r w 'About acci•lcr.t, and the batteries at the point without being dit: covered, arrived at a quarter before e'evcn o'clock within a few yards of the brig, when the enemy commenced a very heavy fire, through Which vur people boarded, and after a ftvcre contell, which laded twenty minutes, cart kJ the velrel. It apqears the was called SENEGAL, com manded' by M. RENOII, mounted eighteen ginic, with about fixty men, eighteen of whom arc pri foners. • Two of the belt boats having been defiroyed by the enemy's fhot, Lieutenant DICK judged it better to turn the guns of the brig upon the choo ner than to attempt boarding her, and kept up a well-direfled fire for fome time ; but the was fa ws : n psote,aed by the batteries on fliore, and by fmall arms from the fouthern bank, that he found it necelfary to defift ; and cutting the brig's cable, made fail with her down the River. After two hours poiretlion fhe ~unfortunately grounded, and he was obliged to relinquiffi his prize, after rendering her unfit for further fervice. The retreat was comluZled with the greatefi or der, and the whole of the prifoners and wounded brought off notwithtlanding the furl upon the bar, and under a fire of grape and fmall alms from the adjoining hamries. I enclofe a return of the killcd and wounded`, and have to regret the lofs of two v:ry gallant Officers, Lieut.:n:l-ns PALMER of the. l•hvy, and VYVIAN Of the M trir.,:s. • see C Ell n N . s 1.. •.- ADMIRALTY ': t.

M. were fortunate enough to pals the heavy furl on the bar with the flood tidc without accident, and unobferved by the point battery; but on their approaching within hail -of the brig the alarm was given, and the two bow guns dii charged, by which Lieut. I's ere re, with feven feamen, were killed, and two boats funk. Not withftanding this unfortunate accident, the brig was carried afteran obßinate defence of twenty Mi nutes, but which gave the fchooner time to cut her cable:—Lieut. Dies finding that the lots of his two belt boats, and many of his bell men, ad ded to'the confiant fire from the fawner an d batteries, miff have rendered any farther attempt abortive, he judged it right, to make every at.: tempt to get her over the bar, but the cbb tide having made, and being totally um:cquainted with the navigation of the River, (he get a ground ; and teeing it impoffilde ever to get her off, and being hulled by every (hot from the point battery, he - found it ablolutely neceffitry to re treat; and, under the many obtlacles he had to furmount acrofs a tremendous furl, under a hea vy fire of grape and miactry, excites my admira tion even more, if pollible, than the gallant man ner in which the brig was carried ; I therefore feel it my duty to recommend Lieut.
