Sir—l have the honour to acquaint you. in ince to your orders of the t4th infant, I gave the command of the boats of the fquadron you fent me by the leis, for the purpofe of endeavouring to cap tare or dellroy the French convoy, in the entrance of the river of Bourdeaux (with the addition of three from the Inntv•rto•sLa, and three from the 1.110 to Lieutenant Sissy, of the Csaraua, with all the Information I was in potetion of refpetling their Situation on the evening of the tsth, it appearing a favourable time to make the attempt ; though fome time after the boats had quitted the Isolvarioasi.r, the wind tufted to the weft ward and came on to blow frelb, notwithftanding the boats proceeded to Verdun Road, boarded and carried the French brig le Carat., of 18 guns, and by the rolle d'equipage, eighty-fir men, commanded by bfunfieur Louis FRANCOIS Theme Fnaau, Lieutenant de Vaiffeau. The Con ti& was revere on both fides, the Frenchmen being in every refpe& well prepared, erpeting the attack. The wind coming on to blow freftt, and the tide run ning very prong, was much againft the boats; but nothing could withfland (uch men led on by the of ficers who commanded them. Lieutenant Stacy, I lament to fay, is badly wounded in feveral places, though, from the reports of the furgeon, I trail, will recover. To this gallant officer (whole condo& is Ipoken of by all who were under his com mand with admiration), I beg to refer you for par ticulars. The convoy all cut their cables and rua up the river inflantly nn the attack being made on the brig. There is mach credit due to Lieut. Tansies p , Tint of the INDSSIITIG•SLI, who took the command of le Ciefar, after the was carried, for his conduit in working her fint pall the batteries, which kept up a confiant erofs fire on her, and engaged by the Teafer brig (late in his Majelly's fervice), for nearly two hours; the fame attaches to the other of. Seers and men for their coolnefs and condul whilli they were engaged. The greater part of the boats were either lhot through. or fo badly dove, that they were fwamped and obliged to be cut adrift from the brig, elect . . the INDITATIGABLS latlllth and lars's cutter.

Sir-1 have the honour to inform you, that find ing it were likely his Majefiy's fhip under my rim mend might be detained in there roads a couple of days, and being informed the Oporto and Lilbon trade were hourly expected from England. foe whom feveral Spanifia ptivateers and row boats were lurking in Portognefe creeks and rivers, I determined upon fending a boat to the northward, and at the folicita tion of Fifa Lieutenant, Mr. MOLCAITRA, I dif. patched him on the gth inftant, in the barge with his former companion, Lieutenant Mammas of the Marines, who, upon every opportunity, has molt handfomely volunteered his Cervices, and Mr. Tua• KILL, Midfbipman, to cruise a few leagues north of this port, with the hope of intercepting Come of the piratical cruizers belonging to Guarda. On the evening of the t ith, I had the fatisfadion to be re joined by the barge, having a Spaniel lugger in com. pany, la Buena Dicha privateer, armed with one nine pounder. blunderbuffes, and mufketry, manned with twenty fix of the Guarda defperadoea, and ca pable of rowing twenty fweeps. The eery general, 'dive, and enterprifing chime. Ur of Lieut. ICILCASTIR, will not, I truft, fuffer by my giving you the particulars of the capture of the Privateer, which, though infignificant in herfelf, is one of thole, from their peculiar confirudion, which have done much mifehief to &kith Oporto traders. The lugger having been apprifed by a fifhing•boat, of the barge being near her, was far from avoiding the conteft, which, though fhort, was fevere. The barge advanced under a difcharge of grape Ibot from the prow gun. which was loon cleared, when the enemy prepared to defend themfelves with the fabre and piftul, which the activity and refolution of the Officers, feconded by Serjeant Huss and Perna Waite, gunner's -mate, and others of the crew, loon rendered unavailing., One Spaniard was killed, the Captain, two officers, and two Icemen, miferably, (and, I Underhand), mortally wounded. The regret I fhould feel on any other occafion, is eonfiderably diminifhed by a knowledge of the character and def. criptinn of the people the boat's crew had to deal with ; and I have little doubt but this check, fo much defired by the Britifh Factory at Oporto, will deßrty, in a great meafure, that fpirit and enterprise which has fu long marked the inhabitants of Guarda. I have the greatell pleafure in Rating, Lieutenant Muse TTTTT 's report of the very adive and deter. mined conduit of Lieut. Measles, the inferior Offi cers and boat's crew, after a fatiguing race of near' forty miles, and am Cure you will feel equal ;Ideal - me in a knowledge that none were killed or wounded.
