Slß.—By my letter of the 16th of September, their Lordships would he informed of the intelligence i had received relative to the intended movements of the French squadron, and of my reasons for changing my statiee to St. Set►ssti: n While on tilis station, on the night of the 22t1 iostant, the Pomone joined, and Captain Barrie, (who A'ilh ielefatigehle perseverance had, with ae Aletete, watched the port of Toole::), informed me, that the day before, several of the enemy's squadron had put to sea, that others were coming nut when he left them, and that there was every aNnekrauce of the whole fleet Leiner on the move from the harbour. They had a numerous convoy with them, and as this movement was made with the first of an easterly wind, there was little doubt of their being hound to the west ward. I immediately made the necessary signals for the squa dron to be prepared for their reception, and placed the three frigates and sloop (Pomona, Hydra, Volontaire, and Minstrel), to windward, to give notice of the enemy's approach. On the following morning (the 23d), soon after eight o'clock, the Volontaire made signal for a fleet to the eastward; while they continued to comedown before the wind, no alteration was made in the squadron, except by advancing two fast sailing ships, the Tigre and Bulwark. At ten, the Pomone made the signal, that the enemy had hauled to the wind, and the convoy sepa rating from the, ships of war (which were now discovered to consist of three ships of the line only, t avu frigates, two smaller frigates, or store-ships, and a convoy of about twenty sail of vessels). I ordered Rear-Admiral Martin to chase them, and eight of the best sailing ships, which standing on contrary tacks, might take advantage of the changes of the wind, which was then variable. At two P. M. the Pomone having got far to windward, was directed by signal to destroy such of the convoy as could be come up with; and in the evening she burnt two brigs, two bombardist and a ketch. The enemy before dark was out of sight, and the ships chasing not much advanced, were standing to the northward; while the squadron will me stretched to the southward. The next morning neither the French nor our own chasing ships were in sight. This morning Rear-Admiral Martin joined with his divisors as named in the margin*, having ag ain fallen in with the enemy ff on the 24th, o the entrance of the Rhone, and on the 25th they chased them on shore : the Robwe, of SI guns, bearing the fing of Rear-Admiral Boudnin ; and the Leone, 011'4, oil Frontage nan, where, the day following themselves set tire to them. The Boree, of 74 guns, and a frigate. ran On shore at the entrance of the port of Cette, where their is little probability of either of them being saved. I cannot sufficiently express the high sa tisfaction I have felt at the intrepid perseverance of Rear-Ad miral Martin, and the Captains of the ships who were with him in the pursuit. Nothing less ardent, or less skillful, would have produced a result so fortunate, where the coast near the Rhone is exceedingly shoal and dangerous, so that some of the ships were in five and six fathoms water, the weather thick, and the south-east wind blowing strong. I enclose to you Sir, Rear-Admiral Martin's letter, and beg to congratulate their Lordships on three great ships of the me my being thus destroyed, without the smallest resistance on their part, or a shot being tired by the British ships except a few by the Tigre at the Bocce, when she was pushing ashore at Cette; of their two frigates, the Pomone and Pauline, one hauled her wind some time in the night, and fetched into Mar. seines Road. The ether part of the French squadron are found to remain in Toulon by the ships which have since via• mined that port. 1 have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) Coeeteewooo, Canopus at gem, Oct. 21. MY LORD—In obedience to the signal for the Canopus to cha-e E.N.E. I stood that way the whole of the night of Ilse 2.3 d, and the following days in company with the nertown, Tigre, Sultan.
