ADMIRALTY OFFICE, OCTOBER 26. Copy of a letter from Captain Sir C. Cole, of his Majesty's sh:p the Rippon, addressed to Admiral Lord Keith, K. B. and transmitted by his Lordship to J. W. Crokcr, Esq. His nijesty's ship Rippon, off Abrevack, Oct. 91. MY LORD—I have great satisfaction in reporting the capture of Le Weser, a French frigate of the lar.4e class. mounting 44 gun% and having :AO men, commanded by the Caot.iiii de Vrissean Cantz• hat, Che;•alier de l'Urdre Imperiale de la Reunion. b% his Majesty's ship wader my command, in company with the Scylla and Royuli , t brigs. She left the Texel on the last day of Septeinber, mil had captured two Swedish vessels in tke North Sea, and lust her main and tiliaen masts in a ale on the 16th of this month. Captain Macdonald's letter, which I have the honour to transmit, will acquaint your Lordship with the perseverance with which he bad watched this frigate, which he fell in with four days ago, sixty leaatws to the west of Ushant, and of a gallant joint attack made by the Scylla and Royalist on the frigate yesterday, in sight of the Rippon, and upon her weather-beam. The judicious measures taken by Captains Macdonald and Bre mer, enabled the latter Officer to yin me at three o'clock lids morn ing, with intelligence of the eneat3's force, whilst the Scylla watch ed their antagonist : and at daylight, the breeze springing up, gave us an opportunity air closing with the enemy. About ten, the frigate bore tip towards the Rippon and struck her colours, having exchanged two broadsides with the Scylla, and just as the Rippon and Royalist were within reach. Being near tile French coast, and the prize in a most crippled and unmanageable state, I licoe deemed it necessary to take on hoard the greater number of the prisoners, and to tow her into port. Inclosed are the lists of killed and wounded on hoard the Scylla and Royalist. The enemy had four killed and fifteen wonlided....4 am, &c. (Signed) CHRISTOPHER COLE. His Majesty's sloop Scylla, at sea, Oct. '2l. Sin —I have the honour to acquaint you, for the iliformation set the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that, at talc A. M. the tatit instant, in longitude 9 deg. 10 min. west, and latitude 47 deg. Sit min. north, I fell in wills a French national frigate, unler jury main and inizenanasts, apparently making the hest of her way for Brest, and judging it not prudent to attack such superior force, as (in the event of our being crippled) I should not have been able to have kept sight of her, from the severity of the weather, I had the good fortune, on the tOth instant, to meet with his Majesty's sloop Royalist, when Captain Bremer, in the handsomest manner, volun teered to ji:in me in attacking her. At half past three P. M. tee bore up in close order, the Scylla on her quarter, and the Royalist on her bow, and commenced the action nearly at the same time, which continued for '.early an hour and a half, when our sails and riagiog being very much cut, and main-mast severely wounded, the Royalist nearly in the same predicament, we hauled off to repair the damages, the, weather hying very squally, so as to endanger our masts. A man of war appearing to time northward, I ordered the Ito% alist to apprise her of our situation; at day-light this mottling I observed a large ship to leeward, which, proved to be his Majesty's ship Rippon, and as 30n, Sir, were an eye-witness of our proceeding this morning, l beg leave to refer to you for the subsequent events. Anv encomium I can bestow on Capt. Br' mer would, I am con vinced, tall very shill of his deserts; awl I beg leave to return him, his Officers, and ship's company, my warmest thanks for the gallant support they afforded us during the action. To the Officers and ship's company of this sloop, I shall ever tie) indebted for their gal lant and persevering conduct in the action, and during the time we kept sight of the enemy, in the severest weather I almost ever experienced ; and beg to recommend Mr. William Speck, Senior Lieutenant of this sloop also Mr. Thos. G. Cooper, Master's Mate. Captain Bremen speaks in the highest terms of hit Officers and ship's company. I ant happy to say, that we have oily two seamen sliehtly ti uraleal ; the Royalist, I ant sorry to say, was not ru fortunate, having two killed •:nd nine woonded. Inclosed are the returees of kil!ed and wounded on board the two sloops. I have the honour to he. 6:c. (Signed) C. MACDONALD, Commander. To Sit Christopher Cole, Bart.
