SIR—In ivy letter of the 16th instant I acquainted you, fur the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with the disposition which 1 had made for intercepting a French squadron, reported to be on its way from the West-Indies to some port in the bay ; and I have now the satisfaction to acquaint you that that arrangement has been attended with complete success, as their Lordships will observe by the enclosed copy of a letter which I have received from Rear-Admiral Sir Harry Neale, transmitting one from Captain Henry Hotham, of his Majesty's ship Northumberland. When the gallantry of the action with such a force under numerous galling batteries, and the intricacy of the navigation amidst dangerous rocks, in the very entrance of the enemy's harbour, are taken into con sideration; the performance of so important a set.- ' vice, while it reflects the highest honour upon the I courage, skill, and extraordinary management of all concerned, adds fresh lustre to the naval annals ofl the country. The selection of Captain Hotham for the station off L'Orient, does great credit to the judgnfent of Rear Admiral Sir Harry Neale, for no officer but one I who possessed great local knowledge, could, under such difficult circumstances, have ventured to under take the service that Captain Hotham has so bravely and so effectually performed. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) KEITH. Boyne, off Chant, May 25. My Loan.—Agreeably to your Lordship's direc tions to send a ship of the line off L'Orient to inter cept two of the enemy's frigates and a brig that were supposed to be on their return to some port in the bay, I selected Captain Hotham, of his Majesty's ship Northumberland, for that service, as an officer whose local knowledge of the coast, ability, and zeal, well qualified him for the service he has so ably and gallantly performed. I herewith inclose, for your Lordship's informa-, tion, Captain Hotham's letter to me, detailing the particulars of his having destroyed the enemy's two frigates and brig on the 22d instant, when literally in the mouth of the port of L'Orient, under a heavy fire from the numerous batteries upon that part of the coast, and during a warm contest with the fri gates and brig, which were of the largest class. In transmitting these particulars to your Lordship, 1 cannot resist adding my testimony to the ability and zeal with which Captain Hotham has upon all occasions distinguished himself in the discharge of his professional duties ; but in the present instance, from the force of the enemy's ships, supported by the batteries upon the shore, and the judgment dis played in the able conducting of the ship, they are eminently conspicuous, and will no doubt meet the applause and consideration he has so highly merited. 1 must refer your Lordship to Captain Hotham's letter, as the strongest testimony I can offer of the good conduct and gallantry of all the officers, sea men, and marines, upon this occasion, and of the assistance he received from Lieutenant Weeks of the Growler gun-brig, after the enemy's frigates and brig had grounded.—l have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) H. NEALE, Rear-Admiral. • Northumberland, off the Pentuarka, Wind S.S.W. kibt breezes, and line weather, May 24, 1812. have the honour to inform you the object of the orders I received from you on ti.e 19th inst. to proceed off L'Orient for the purpose of intercept ing two French frigates and a brig lately seen at sea, has been , accomplished, by their total destruction, at the entrance of that port, by his Majesty's ship under my command (the Growler gun-brig being in com pany), under the circumstances I big leave to relate to you. On Friday the 22d instant, at a quarter after ten a. m. the N.W. point of the Isle Groa, bearing from the Northumberland north by compass, ten miles distant, and the wind Very light from W. by N. they were discovered in the N.W. crowding all possible sail before it for L'Orient. My first endeavour was to cut them, off to windward of the island, and a sig. nal was made to the Growler (seven miles off in the S.W.) to chace, but finding I could not effect it, the Northumberland was pushed by every exertion round • the S.E. end of Groa, and, by hauling to the wind as close as I could to leeward of it, I had the satis faction of fetching to windward of the harbour's mouth, before the enemy's ships reached it. Their commander seeing himself thus cut off, made a sig nal to his consorts and hauled to the wind on the larboard tack to windward of Point Taleet, and they appeared to speak each other. I continued beating to windward between Groa and the Continent to close with them, exposed to the batteries on both sides, when I stood within their reach, which was unavoidable. The wind had by this time treshened considerably, and was about W.N.W. : at forty-nine minutes after two p. m. the enemy (in force as above described) bore up in close line ahead, and under every sail that could be set, favoured by the fresh wind, made a bold and determined attempt to run between me and the shore, under cover of the nume rous batteries with which it is lined in that part. I placed the Northumberland to meet them as close as I could to the Point de Pierre Laye, with her head to the shore, and the main topsail shivering, and made dispositions for laying one of them alongside ; but they hauled so very close round the point, fol lowing the direction of the coast to the eastward oli it, that, in my ignorance of the depth of water so near the shore, I did not think it practicable, con sistent with the safety of his Majesty's ship (drawing near ?.5 feet) to prosecute that plan. I therefore bore up and steered parallel to them at the distance of about two cables' length, and nested the broadside on them, which was returned by a very animated and well directed fire of round, grape, and other de. act iptiutis of shot, supported by three batteries, for the space of 21 minutes, and was very destructive to our sails and rigging. My object dying that time was to prevent their hauling outside the dry rock named Le Graul, but in steering sufficiently close to it to leave them no room to pass between me and it, and at the same time to avoid running on it myself, the utrni)st chthcuitT anti anxiety was produced by the cloud of smoke which drifted ahead of the ship and totally obscured it. However, by the care and attention of Mr.. Hugh Stuart, the Master, the ship was carried ivithin the distance of her own length on the ,south west side, quarter 14. wimp fathoms, 'he enemy were in consequence.obUged, as their only alternative, to attempt passing within it, where there was not water enough, and they all grounded, under every sail, on the rock between it and the shore. The saits and riggirr , of the Northumberland were so much damaged, that I was obliged to leave the enemy to the effects of the falling tide, it being only one quarter ebb, while I repaired the rigging and shifted the foretop-sail, which was rendered entirely useless ; working to windward during that time under what sail I could set, to prevent falling to leeward ; in which interval, at five o'clock, the Growler joined, and fired on the enemy occasionally. At 28 minutes after five, I anchored the Northum berland in six and an half fathoms water, Point de Pierre Laye bearing N.W. half N. the citadel of Port Louis E. three quarters N. and the rock named t Le Graul, N. half E. two cables length distant, with t .hcr broadside bearing an the enemy's two frigates and brig, at point blank range, all of them having fallen over on their sides next the shore as the tide left them, and exposed their copper to us, and the mainmasts of one frigate and the brig were gone ; and from 34 minutes after five till 49 minutes past six (which was near the time of low water)i a deli berate and careful fire was kept up on them, at which time, believing I had fully effected the object of my endeavours, the crews having 'quitted their vessel, , all their bottoms being pierced by very many of our shot, so low down as to ensure their filling on the rising tide, and the leading frigate being completely •, in flames, communicated to the hull from a fire I which broke out in her foretop, I got under sail.— I Three batteries fired at the ship during the whole time she was at anchor, and although the position was so far well chosen that she was out of the range of. two of them, the other (to which the enemy's vessels were nearest) reached her, and did as much execution in the hull as all the fire she had been ex posed to before. I directed the Commander of the Growler to stand in and fire, to prevent the enemy from return ing to their vessels after I had ceased. At five minutes before eight the frigate on fire blew up with an awful explosion, leaving no remains of her visible. At the close of day I anchored for the night, out of reach of the batteries on both sides. Point faleet bearing N.N.W. half W. S.E. point of Groa S.S.W. half W. ; the enemy's vessels N. by E. At ten, the other frigate appeared to be on fire also (some smoke having been seen an board her from the time the firing ceased), and at halt past eleven, the flames burst forth from her ports and every partwith unextinguishable fury, which unlooked for event leav ing me nothing more to attempt in the morning, the , brig being quite on her beam ends, and very much damaged by our shot, in every part of her bottom, even very near her keel, I weighed anchor at mid night, with a very light air from the northward, with the Growler in company, profiting by the brightness of the moon to get to sea ; but it was so near calm that I made very little progress, and therefore use the frigate burning from head to stern all night, and explode at 35 minutes after two in the morning of yes- - , terday, leaving a portion of her after part stillburning till it was entirely consumed and, in the course of the day, I had the satisfaction to see, from off the N.W. point of Groa, a third fire and explosion jp the same spot, which eculd has/ been no other tbanthebrig. During the time of firing on the esowy's vessels; a seaman, who states himself to be . a native of Portu gal, captured in the ship Harmony, of Lisbon, by the frigates, on the 22d February, swam from one of them to the Northumberland, by whom I am infor med their names were l'Arianne and l'Andromache, ' of 41. guns and 450 men each, and the Mameluke brig, of 18 guns and 150 men ; that they sailed from the Loire in the month of January, had been cruiz- , ing in various parts of the Atlantic, and had destroy ed 36 vessels of different nations (Americans, Spa niards, Portuguese, and English), taking the most valuable parts of their cargoes on board the frigates, (and they appeared very deep for ships so long at sea), and one vessel they sent as a cartel to England, with about 200 prisoners. I am happy to have now the gratifying duty to discharge of bearing testimony to the creditable con duct olevery officer and man I had the honours to command on the occasion above related, whose zea lous exertions in supporting the honour of his Ma jesty's naval power, and in humbling that of the enemy, were conspicuously displayed, without regard to the peculiar intricacy of the situation, or the risks and difficulties, which appeared to interpose ; and I hope the circumstances of his station may permit me to make particular report of the services of the Se nior Lieutenant, John Banks, without prejudice to, or neglect of, the other meritorious and deser ving offic'ers, who were all equally inspired with intrepidity, and possessed with confidence and cool ness, which rendered that qualification the more valuable. But as the safety of his Majesty's ship, and the success of the operations which resulted in a navigation so narrow and difficult, with almost i every description of danger to avoid, is attributable I next to Providence, to the ability with which she was steered and conducted under the direction of Mr. Stewart (the Master), and the Pilot, I should be wanting in my duty if I were to omit to represent to you that nothing could exceed the firmness, good judgment, and skill of those officers, whose experience on the coast was extremely beneficial to the service, and Mr. Stewart's counsels were of the greatest assistance to me. Lieutenant J. Weeks, commanding the Growler gun-brig, made every effort that vessel was capable of to render assistance, and :hewed a perfect readi ness to execute the few directions I had occasion to give him, I should rejoice, Sir, if I were able to close this narrative without addlt:g a report of loss and injury sustained ; but neither you, nor any other authority to whom you may communicate it, trill expect that a ship should . have been so long at different periods under the fire of thetnesny's various batteries and vessels, without some loss: and I am thankful it is not greater than is expressed in the report j have the honour to enclose, with 4 statement of the damages the ship has sustained, which is little in the hull, but more in the masts, yards, and rigging ; and I am glad w say, the officer wounded (namely, Lieutenaiat William Fletcher) will woe be restored. A line-of-battle ship, with sails beat and top-gallant yards across, lay in the harbour qt .'Orient, specta tor of the operations of the day at the entrance of it ; but. the wind did not serfe till oieht Lot her cenuag to the support of her friends: every assistance, hoer► ever, was afforded them of boats, men, &c. from the port, directed, as I apprehend, by the Admiral person.

On the motion of Mr. I OHN SMITH. the Commhtee ee Frame Knitter; PetitheNsas ordered to be revived. Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) rose to gin ode. of a •motion for Wednesday, which he hoped by th a t time it would be unnecessary to make, as be trusted an Administration would be lot cued in the interim If his wish in this respect should not be reels* though as an humble individual in that Hogs; es should be glad if some Member of greater we;gbtee4 talents would take up the subject ; yet if no eds. Member did sn nn that day, he should feel it his day to submit a proposition ti the House on the prow situation of the Governmesst of the country. D e resolution he should proiose, he wished tq reed.* * the House might be in possession cf its subsumes.' The Honourable Member then proceeded to read.. " That an humble and dutiful Address be pretested Royal Highness the Prince Regent, beseeching him to carry les effect his most gracious declaratioa, that he would tar So AO dress of the House of Commoos, praying him to brat s sere( Administration, into his meat serious and Sometime esobleo Lion, and praying his Royal.

Sir SAMUEL ROMILW/ said, that be held le his hand a petition from Thomas Holden, a primes confined for uetit in Lincoln Gaol. The *OM stated, that the prisoner, in consequence of the ace. bitant price which the keeper demanded for the an of a hed,llid preferred to be provided hem borne..., That au this account he was confined in a Ind room, where were seven other prisoners :—that Ober ing the middle of June, the place was eaceediley hot, and the prisoner had therefore insisted doodle turnkey should nbt shut the inner of the two mew ' doors without orders from the keeper:-that fain offence he had been carried before the visiting Mails straw, who had expressed his regret ra tt ia tte e was p ide ouumdg n i e e r vere the ThMhe , in conseqoence of lorder, was then confined eleven days in a solitary 00 demned cell, and was at last liberated because them. count of a conversation in Parliament, relative taiga treatment of Mr. Finnerty, reached Lincoln on do 11th day. Sir Samuel Romilly then observed, tht he sliculd propose to the House a motion on this.* ject on Wednesday, Jpne 10. The delay in palm ; ing the petition, he mild, ,was owing to its being sM up at first informally worded, and afterwards wittisek signature ; or was It properly signed till Thtusihr last. The petition was then brought up and seat'. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that he Issid heard of a case from the same gaol, which he *ii deserved the most serious attention of his Maim% Government. He had no doubt if its troth, th , rshil came from a source which had Wm, been usual& diculed in the House. It was the Me Ole drbillit named Godfrey, who, being seized by a violent Moos had been debarred from medical art; :dance. He relieved himself by the application of strong spirits: at length medical attendance was called fur, and teen of the same cordials was recommended. His arch • however, returned ; and at three o'clock in the mono ing his cries of pain disturbed the other debtors, who applied to the turnkey to go to his assistance. ThO turnkey, however, said that the Gi'vernor (that is the gaoier) mast not be disturbed till his usual time, o'clock. On repeated entreaties, however, the tam key was at List prevailed rpon to \cause to disturb the governor. Medical aid was sent for, but in the mean time the poor man died. One witness mess that it be had been called an hour sooner, the meet life might have been saved : another SWOT* that an thing could have saved the man. The Coroorr4 very respectable man, had imprudently consisted*. impanel a Jury from a list furnished by the-pokriia- He told the Jury that the verdict mu* be chine,' " Died by the neglect of the gaoler; or, " aid br the,visitation of GOD." The Jury brought in the latter verdict; nor did he (Mr. Brougham) me* impeach it; but still he thought it a case dessrvit the most serious consideration of his Majesty's OP' vernment. The petition of Thomas Holden width* ordered to lie on the table. Adjourael. BUSINESS FOR THE WEEK. THIS DAY.
