(Signed) ALEI. COCHRANE. His Majesty's ship Circe, of St. Pierre's, Irtiaiquie, Dec. 14, 111511. Sin—On Monday, at eleven a. m. His Majesty's brig Moroi! Fortunie informed me by signal th.tt au enemy's brig sad two schooners were at anchoi off the Pearl. I immediately revelled the lank-out vessels named as per margin •, and male alt led towards the enemy. On our nearing St. Pierre's, I perceived a large French schcorier towing along shore, under cover of it number of troops. Tie schooner finding it impossible, to get between St. Pierre's and the Circe, the Stork closing fast, they rail her on shore, under a battery of font gurus, flanked by two smaller ones. and the beach turd with troops. The signal was then made to close with .he enemy, and engage in succession. the Circe leading, followed by the Stork and Marne Fortunee ; being within pistol-shot, the amen hnt teries were soon silenced, and the troops dris ell from the beach. Seeing the brig and schooner uuload ia4, I directed the Morne Fortunes to watch the schooner in shore, and to give similar orders to the Epervier no her comini up. We then made sail towards the brig and the other schooner, which were lying well to windward, close to the beach, under cover of four batteries and an immense num ber of troops and held-pieces, which they had brought down on the beach to protect her. Me lag placed the barge and two cutters nutlet the ' command of Lieutenant Crook, Mr. Cullman, Purser, Mr. Smith, Meister. and My. Thomas, Carpenter, who handsomely volunteered, with six ty-eight men, to bring the brig out; I then made sail with the Stork and Express towards her, and directed the boats to lie off until the brig's lire slackened. It getting late, the vessels lying close in with the rocks, and havisig no pilot on board, I stood in, and was handsomely seconded by Captain Le Geyt, of the Stork. The ships did not cont inence action until our men were wounded from the beach with musketry. We then bore up under a heavy tire of great guns and small arms. Waving passed the batteries and brig, the Circe's boats not waiting for the Stork's to come up, boarded in the most gallant manlier; and it is with oxtretne concern I have to add, that their gallantry did not meet with its reward ; they were beaten back with dreadful slaughter ; one bout taken and one murk, the other entirely disabled. Our loos in the boats are killed, woemied. and missing. 56. Be this time it was dark ; I stood off until day-light, ileterritiii ing to persevere and destroy the brig itptetsiblee— In the evening I was joined bjkAhe Ainararitte, which watched the brig duriug the night. At eight a. m. we perceived she had weighs ci ; Captain Brenton. in the moat landsonie main air, volunteering to bring her out, she was then towing; and sieeepin4 dose in shore towards St. Pierre's ; the boats of the Circe and Stork, and men from the Express, .were sent to tow the Ainaratithe rip, which was at this time sweeping and using every ex ertion to close with the enemy. At ten, the French brig grounded near several batteries, to the north ward of St. Pierre's ; the Amantnthe tacked aid worked in under a heavy fire from the batteries a... 1 brig. from which she suffered considerable, harm.; one killed and five isouudeil, followed by ti .• Circe, the test of the s4itnuiron rogueing the. bat teries to leeward.
