APRIL 23. am sorry to say, that 1 raeived a severe wound in the shoulder by a grape sh.et, w hie'', obliged me to to quit the deck z however. tl:e ser,ice did not sutler by that event, as the suc (eNling lieutenant, the Non George Douglas fought the ship through the action, in a most gallant meeker, which continued about one hour and thirty-five minutes. The ~enemy having f am the beginning pointed their guns high, we were by this time a complete wreck in our limits, sails, and rigging. Notwith standing the situation- thv enemy .was then reduced to, she tried to effeet her escape, which 1 knew was totally impossible from the state of her . riggitsg, and more particularly as at that time the Superieur (the brig 1 before mentioued) hailed us, and gave us information that the strange sail ,inst seen to leewatd was the Lamina. On tho Latona'b coming within gunshot of the eller my and given her a frvr guns, :Othich she returned, and slightly wounded a L few of the Latpua's men she i mmediatel y brou g ht to on the starbuard tack, and every mast went by the board. Site proied to be the French Frigate La 3 unon, of 41 guns, and $23 men, commanded by Monsieur Augustin RosEeou, a Member of the . Cegion of Hononr; out from the Saints only four days, bound to France. I now ' detail the loss sad damages sustained by his Majesty's ship under, my comtPand. The Horatio has s u ffered. but little in her 'hull, from the rea son already given, of , the enemy's aiming particularly a,t nur masts and rigging,. which they effected, having nothing else standing hut our lower Masts, much wounded, and completely dismaraled, all to our foresail, and the rags of our mainsail. the number of officers, seamen, and marines lost on this (Kea sinn to *their country and their riends, are by no means consi deta'Sle,, when compared with the dreadful loss or the enemy, shall hereafter relate. The loss on hoard the Iloratia consists of ;lir. George Grunter, midshipman, awl six seamen killed; Mr. Andrew. Lock, boatswain, and twelve *seaman, badly wounded ; Lieutenant Richard DlakeneY, of the 110,Y 11 Marines, Mr.. Robert King, waster's - ma le, six seamen, mat two. marines, ,slightfy wounded. The loss of tFe enemy, as I have before stated, was all her lower mast ; her hull most is on derfaily. cut up, making, in consequence, a great deal of watery until the - shot-holes were stopped. The loss in killed and wounded amounted to one hundred and thirty. The Captain expired soon after the action from the wounds he received. The gallantry :end good conduct oftheofficeis awl ship's com . pany under my command, I must always remember w ith grati tude, and were I to enter into particulars it would be endless. To Captain Ferrie,..,yrho commands the brig Superieur (one of Sir Alexander Cochrane's. squadron), 1 feel much indebted for the very gallant manner he Behaved, although I believe he. had only four small commades on board ; and to Captain Pigot of the Latnna I shall ever - feel thankful for his exertions and, activity in erecting jury masts,; difi l and putting th e priwe iu a 4 -- sea worthy state. T have much pleasure . in informing you that the Junon ap pears a very fine -ship, a i nly three years old, never having been at sea before 'she left France, about three mouths ago.

In the 0 0r , .e of an hour we dibcovered the lee one evidently t. be an enemy's frigate, and the other one I took to be an English brig of war dogging her. The enemy's frigate en making us out bore right up before the wind for a short time,. but very pion hauled up again. At three-tioarters past twelve we met upon different tact', and come to close action, the Horatio wearing under the enemy's stern .o get upon the same tack with her.
