Proastszo. a On Friday the 4th March, 1808, his Majesty's ship St. riorenzo, Captain &tannin& sailed from Point de Galle, Ceylon. On the 6th, at seven A.M. she passed three Indiamen, the Metcalf, Devon shire, arid Charlton, and soon after saw a frigate bearing N E. L. " The St. Fiorenzo immediately hauled her wind in shore. and made all sail, being at that time in law 7. 32. N. and 77. 58. E. She made the private sig-. Rai, which was not answered, and at five shewed her' colours, which the stranger took no notice of. At 11, 40, P.M. ranged alongside of him on the larboard tack, and receive d his broadside. I . ‘ After engaging ten minutes within a cable's length, the' enemy made sail ahead out of the range of the St. Fiorenzo's shot. She ceased firing, and made all sail after him, continuing to come up with him till day-light, when, finding he could not avoid an actioa, he wore, as did the St. Fiorenzo, and at 25 minutes past six recommenced the engagement at the distance of half a 'mile, gradually closing with him to a quarter of a mile. The fire was constant, and well directed on both sides, though that of the enemy slackened towards the latter part of the action. At , 8. 15. A.M. the enemy made all sail. . . a The St. Fiorenzo's main topsail yard being shot through, the main-royal -mast, both main top-mast stays, the main spring-stay, and most of both stand ing and running rigging and sails cut to pieces, and cartridges fired away, she ceased firing, and employ ed all hands in repairsogthe damages, and fitting her again for action. " They kept sight of the enemy during the night, and at 9 A.M. on the Bth, being perfectly prepared for action, she bore down on him, under all sail : he' did not endeavour to avoid the St. Fiorenzo, until she hauled athwart- his stern to gain the weather gage, and bring him to close fight, when the enemy hauled up also and made all sail, but perceiving the St. Fiorenzo corning up fast with him, and that a battle was unavoidable, he tacked, and at 3 P. M. they passed each other on opposite tacks, and com menced action within a quarter of a cable's length, when t' le enemy was abaft the St. florenzOis he wore, and after an hour and 20 minutes close ac tion, struck his colours. " She proved to he la Piedmontaise French frigate, commanded by Monsiedr Epron, Capitaine de Vais kati ; she mounted 50 guns, long 18 pounder , , on hn main-deck, and 36 pound carronades on her quar ter-deck. "Sic had 336 Frcnchmen'on board ; :and near 200 Lase - trs. She sailed from the Mauritius on the 30th December. " In the action, she had 48 men killed and 112 wounded. The St. Fiorenzo had 13 killed ard 25 wounded f among the former, her commander, who unfortunately fell by a grape-shot, the second broad side in the last action. Limon:tilt H. G. MASSEY was badly wounded, just before the enemy struck. MoREAU, the Second Captain of la Piedmont&lse, was severely wounded in the third action, and either threw himself, or caused himself to be thrown overboard. " La Piedmontaise had her rigging cut to pieces, and her masts and bowsprit so wounded, that they went by the board during the night: " Lieutenant Dawson succeeded Capt. HARDINGEI and brought the St. Fiorenzo and to Piedmontilse (her prize) into Columba on the 12th March." The capture of la Piedmontaise, by a ship so much her inferior, will be read by every Fanatic youth on board the former East -India fleet with reflections that must be obvious. We have heard them in bitterness of heart regret her esca, after having had he r in the midst of their fleet (consisting of eight Indiamen and a ti-igate) for many hours. It was certainly, in modern times, an escape that could not have been ex pected, and v.hich the Fratch themselves considered as peculiarly leeks. LA CIEDMONTAISt MOUNTED: 28 13-pounders on the main-deck. 10 36 carronades 218 long guns on the quarter-deck. 4 18 carronades 2 3040. 2 18 do. on the forecastle. 2 howitzers • SO-- Had when she went into action a complement of 316 French. 218 Lascars. —532 Of whom were killed 48 Wounded - - 1/2 The Fiorenzo had only 4 200 men, and lost in killed 13, wounded 2.5. She is rated at 28, but mounts 46 guns► An-ther account says, la Piedmontaise had been out from the Isle of France about ten weeks, and had made a great many prizes, but none of much value. Monk;Au, Second Captain, who was slightly woun ded, when he found she had struck, conscious of his infamous conduct in many instances, but pstrticularly in stabbing Captain LARKINS of the Warren Hastings after she had struck, and aware of the punishment that awaitedhim, jumped overboard and was drowned. When the St. Fiorenzo first discovered la Piedmon taise, she was hearing down to attack the Devonshire and Charlton, on their way to join the fleet at Point de Galle, who were, however, all well prepared, and would, .no doubt have given a good account of her, had she dared to attack them. Saturday.:e'nnight a small boat, with three young men, of Deal, went ofF, fishing ; and was suddenly upset in a squall ; when they were unfortunately drowned. The boat was picked up in the Gull Stream, by a cutter, bottom upwards. Friday afternoon one of the London coaches, in passing over a part of the road near Northfleet, which irad been newly repaired and had been very much raised in the middle, overset ; when an Officer of the Surrey Militia, who was an outside passenger, feeling that the vehicle had lost its balance, made a spring from his seat, in order to escape the theatened danger ; I but, unfortunately, not having - jumped far enough, the coach fell upon him as he was rising from the ground, and crushed him in a most miserable manner. His back bone, several of his ribs, and other bones were broken, and he was otherwise so dreadfully bruised, that he languished till Saturday morning, and expired in great agony. :' • - ,- ... ~ . ______ . .41/ofror* ; i . ars. ...+;jfitarmo um, irtIGLIST IS. ..: . • . ... __ .4cle pr.":3ented itself here rotords7, whiclit;. s ltnievithstanding the much re ahem* of .. ,a it certainly could boast of.no:netraction to tha... i eRe .
