FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. , ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, MARCH 31. Copy of a Letter from Rear Admiral Foley, Commander.lo - in the Downs, to John Wilson Croker, Esq. dated the 29th Instant. Stn--I have the honour transmit, for their Lord.: lips information, a letter this morning received from Captain Harvey, of his Majesty's sloop Rosario, de tailing an account of a very spirited attack made by him - on 'the enemy's flotilla, consisting of twelve brigs, of .thice brass 24-pounders, and one eight inch howitzer, midi fifty men each, and a lugger, .assistelf with great gallantry by Captain Trollope, of his Majesty's sloop Griffon, which ttrathiated in the capture of three brigs, and putting two ashore. I am happy it is in my power to name Captain Hat vey as an officer of great zeal,' and distinguished merit.; Captain Trollope, their .l,orciships will obi. serve, is highly spoken of ip Captain Hartey'rletter, for his prompt attention, add gallant .conduct in the attacks he so jacliciously and macessinlly made . on the enemy.. I have tlle honour to be; 84c. - Taos. FOLEY, Rear Admiral. Ste, His Majesty's sloop Romig, off Dieppe, March 27. • It is with much satisfastion I have to acquaint you that s at tialf-past eight, A. M. Dieppe bearing S. W,. four or *five miles, we observed an enemy's flotilla, consisting of twelve brigs and One lugger, standing along shore, and iniMediately made sail to cut off the leewardmott. The enemy, by signal from their. •Commodore, formed into a line and engaged us se. venally as we passed; but upon luffing up to cut off the sternmost, the whole bore up to support her, and endeavoured to close with us. Finding them thus determined to support each other, and the small force of the Rosario not admitting my running the risk of being laid on board by several at once, I bore up to a brig we observed in the offing (and which proved to be the Griffon) and made the signal for an enemy. The moment she had answered we hauled to the wind, and at 40 minutes after twelve began to harass the eneMy's rear, who were then endeavouring to get into Dieppe under all sail ; tacked and wore occasio nally to close, receiving and returning the fire of the whole line each time ;at half -past one, being far enough to windward, run into the body of the enemy, and by cutting away the running rigging of the two nearest drove, them on board each other, backed the maintop-sail and engaged them within musket-shot ! till they were clear, then stood'on and engaged ano ther, whose mainmast and fortopmast soon went by the board, when she immediately anchored ; passed her and drove the next in the line an shore : two more of their line yet remained to leeward, bore up and ran the nearest one on board, then not more than three quarters of a mile from the shore. So far the Roiario had acted alone, as the Griffon had not yet arrived within gun-shot: bore away with prize be yond range of the batteries, and hailed the Griffon, (then passing under a press of sail) to chace the re ' mainiog brig, and which service she performed in a very handsome manner, by running her on shore near St. Aubyn, under a very heavy fire from the shore: seeing no probability of the Griffon being able to de stroy the brig, made her signal to attack the enemy in the S.E. then anchoring close in 'shore. In the mean time we were geiting the prisoners - on board, and re pairing the running rigging, which was much dama ged. • Capt. Troltope Witting closed with the enemy, run the Griffon in shore of one at an anchor neatly Iti the tentre, and its the most gallant manner laid .her on board; cut her cables and stood out, under the fire of the batteries and the whole of the ether brigs,: upon passing the GI &on I found her too much dis abled to immediately make sail again to the attack, /Int being determined to have another (and although we had nearly as many prisoners as our otvn sloop's company), I run the dismasted one on board, which we found the enemy had deserted, but this circum stance the darkness of the night prevented our being enabled previously to discover, at which time the remaining seven pf the flotilla were. under weigh, getting into Dieppe harbour. I must beg leave to mention the very able assistance I received from the exertion of my First Lieutenant, Mr. James Shaw, In boarding the enemy, and during the whole of the day in the arduous task of working the ship while engaging ; and the conduct of the whole of the other ofhcers and ship's company was such as to merit my warmest approbation. We have only one petty officer and four men wounded ; the officer is Mr. Jonathan Wlddicome Dyer, Midshipman, whose unremiued exertions during the action and activity in boarding (when he received the wound), together with his general good conduct, renders it my duty to recom mend him.. - The flotilla is the fourteenth. division, commanded,i i by Monsieur Sarue, Capitaine de Vaisseau, and Com mandant de Division ; sailed from Boulogne at ten P. M. the 26th instant, and intended going to Cher..., boure: each brig has three long brass twenty-tour poun&rs, and an eight-inch brass howir&er, with a Complement of 50 men. When I consider this flotilla, united to batteries keeping up a constant fire of both shot and shells, and the very small force we had, I trust the having taken three,. r u n two on s h ore , an d much damaged the others, will chew nur zeal for the public service, and meet your approbation.—l have the l o tonour to be, (Signed) B. HARVEY, Commander.
