Sir—l have to requeft on will be pleated to in form my Lords Commiffioners of the Admiralty, that conformably to my Letter of yefterday'a date, I flood through the Streights, with his Majefly's fquadron under my orders, with the intention of attacking three French line of battle ( hips and a frigate, that I bad received information of being at anchor off Algeciras: on opening Cabareta Point, I found the fhips lay at a con liderable diftance from the enemy's batteries, and having a leading wind up to them, afforded every reafonable hope of fuccefi in the attack. I had preirionflydireded Captain HOOO, in the Vasaaascs, from his ex perience sud knowledge of the anchorage, to lead the fquadron, which he executed with his aceuf corned gallantry, and although it was not intended he fhould anchor, he found hitrifelf under the ne ceffity fo to do, from the winds failing, (a circtun fiance to 'quell to be apprehended in this country) and to which circumthince I have to regret the want of fuccefs in this well-intended enterprise ; Captain &mitotic anchored oppofite to the inner (hip of the enemy, and brought the Ponies to adion in the mo lt fpirited and gallant manner, which was alfo followed by the Commanders of every fhip in the (quadrat. Captains Dater and Feasts, owing to light winds, were prevented for a conficierable time from coming into anion : at length the Hanntias getting a breeze, Captain Fatten had the mat favourable profped of being alongfide one of the enemy's flips, when the HAN- N'S/IL unfortunately took the around, and I am extremely concerned to acquaint their Lordfhips, that after having made every poffible effort with this (hip and the AUDACIOUS' to cover her from the criemy, I was under the neceffity to make fhil, being at the time only tares cables length from one of the enemy's batteries. My thanks are par ticularly due to all the Captains, Officers, lend Men, under my orders; and akhongh their en deavours have not been crowned with (weds, I truft the thoufan'cls of fpedators from his Majelly's garrifon, and alfo the furrounding coati, will do inflict to their valour and intrepidity, which was not tale checked by the fi re from the numerous batteries, however formidable, that furround Al geciras. 1 feel it iitcazobcat upon,mc to Mats to theiiiettlfitipt the great merit, of Captain TO, ,of the Caste, whole cool judgment 1 trepid conduce, I will venture to pronounce never furpalted. I alfo beg leave to recbmi to their Lordfhips notice my Flag-Lieutenant, Mr. Pamir Dumaiteso, who has ferved with me from the commencement of this war, and is a molt decrying officer. Mr. LAIIIIIOIINi and the othzr . Lieutenants are alfo entitled to great praife, as well as Captain Maxwatt of the Marines, and the officers of his corps ferving on board the Cs sea. The enemy's (hips confined of two of eighty four guns, and one of feventy-four, with a large frigates two of the former are aground, and the whole are rendered totally unferviceable. I can not clofe this letter without rendering the moil ample 'alike to the great bravery of Captain Pea. tits lots in his fhip mull have been very con i fiderab both in officers and men ; but I have Ilse fatisfaftion to be informed, that his Majefly has not 101 l fo valuable an officer.
