Sir—Since my letter to you of the 74th, Rating ie proceedings of his Majefly's fquadron, our fitua inn has been the moll critical. and our employment moll arduous that ever a fleet was engaged in.— On the 24th and 25th it blew a moll violent gale of wind, which completely difperfed the (tips, and trove the captured hulls in all direilions. I have ice been employed in colleding and defiroying ,rem, where they are at anchor upon the coati be ween Cadiz and fix leagues weftward of San Lucar, ithout the profped of raving one to bring into port. mentioned in my former letter the joining of the in t : I.

The Di.' lAN ce, after having duck to the Aigle, as long as it was poffible, in hope of faving her from wreck, which feparared her for fome time from the fquadrnn, was obliged to abandon lic.r to !ter fate, and the went on Ihore.— Captain Dila times exe►tions have been very great. I hope I than get them all deliroyed by to-morrow, if the weather keeps moderate.—ln the gale the ROYAL SOVEREIGN and MARS 1011 their fcremafts, and are now rigging anew, where the body of the fqua dron is at anchor to the N. W. of San Lucar.—l find that on the return of GRAYIN A to Cadiz, he was immediately ordered to tea again, and came ont, which made it neceffary for me to form a line, to co►er the ditabled hulls —that night it blew hard, and his (bip, the Prince of Aflurias, was difmatled, and returned into port ; the Rayo was alto difmaft ed, and fell into our hands; Don ENEIG u 11I'DortFL had his broad pendant in the Rayo, and from him I find the Santa Ana was driven near Cadiz, and tow ed in by a frigate.

Sir—lt having appeared that of the nineteen (hips • of the lme which (truck to the Englilh fleet in the late engagement off Cape Trefalgar, two of them took advantage of the weather, and ran inti. Cadiz, I beg leave to draw the attention of the Gotet:;nient, . ~t of the Nation, to this unwarrantable proceeding. In its mutt material eireitmfianee. it is an exael counterpart of what was done by a French 74 guts Chip, lc Hero, after having !truck to the Magnanime, commanded by Lord Howe, in the memorable defeat of Conflans, by Sir Edward Hawke, on the 2.3 h of November, 1759. Le Hero having got to the leeward towards the clofe of the day, was mitred by the hiagananinte, of equal force. So dole was the tight that in ranging up alongfide the enemy, the cat head 01 the Magna nime was carried away, and the anchor thcleto fpf pended was (napped afuntler. When the Hero had (truck her colours, Lett' Howe, preparing to anchor, ordered her alfo to anchor near the ftla;:ratiinte, in which he was obeyed. By this time it scat nearly dark, and the night wag ternriefiwia,. As the Firft Lieutenant of the Magnanime was ..!)..;,; In Ilep into a boat to take polka - ion elle Hero, th: ps of the enemy were ken tteering tight down op. n the Eng. ith which again prepated and the Lieutenant did not choofe to quit her undei thole cireurnflances. • By the time thole feven (hips made a change in their coutfe, and paired the Magnanirne, it wa. too dark, and the fca run too high to put an Englifli Of ficer on board k Hero. At the firll dawning of the fucceeding day, that (hip WAS fern before the wiod, and very !iron after to run aground on Le Four fand, from whence the crew found means to etcape to land. Conflans' own fhip, le So leil Royal, (hared the fame fate, and her crew had the fame fortune. The two (hips acre burned by the Engl;fh. But the running away with le Hero, a furrendered (hip that (truck her colours in aftion, which is the pledge of filbmiffion on receiving quarter, was not paffed over as an excufable praOice. Sir Edward Hawke fent Lord Howe with a flag of truce to le Due d'Agnillon, who had the fupreme authority on that coati, to retnonftrate againfl this .IEI of his coun trymen. The Fir ft Captain of le Hero was fuppoled to be then at le Duc d'Aguillor.'s, but did not make his appearance ; the Second Captain, however, was there introduced to Lord Howe. The aft, of (hik ing the colours, and furrendering the (hip, were ac• knowledged, the impropriety of afterwards running away with the fhip was admitted in the fullelt extent —but it was reprefented to have been the at% of the failors in contempt and defiance of the authority of their officers, and the motive' of the failors was Rated to have been the dread of lying feveral years in an Englith prifon. On Lord Howe's reprefenting the dreadful eonfe quences that might enfue from tech a pradice, as it might put an end to giving quarter on a mere (hik ing of the colours, and cattle our naval wars to dege nerate into the cruelty of the barbarous ages ; and on his demanding a lift of the crew of le Hero, and that they should be confidered and accounted far at the exchange of prifoners between the two nations, thefe terms were immediately agreed to, and are a precedent which, on the prefent occafion, ought to be ailed upon, in vindication of the rights of war, and the honour of the ration. The Admiralty may have this fan authenticated by Admiral William Peere Williams, and Sir Andrew Snape Hamond, Comptroller of the Navy, who, as well as the Writer, were at that time under the com mand of Lord Howe.
