You will herewith receive, for the information of the Lords Commissionets of the Admiralty, the copies of two letters, reciting the capture of the Fl i. rendelk and Veutour French privateers, by His Ma)esty's ships Tartar anti Fortunee; the former of which, I trust, their Lordships will think with me does high honour to the Officers and crews of the Tartar's boats, for their undaunted spirit and per severance. I am, Sm. J. T. Duca WORTH. Hu Majesty's 6110 Tartar, off St. Domingo, SIR, A ugun 1, 1804. I have the honour to acquaint you, that, yesterday morning at dawn, standing into leeward of Saona, a small sail was discovered from the mast heads, to which I immediately gave chace, keeping as close to leeward of the Island as possible, in order to pre vent her escape that way, knowing the channel be tween that island (Saona) and St. Domingo to be very narrow and intricate, even for small vessels. About seven the chace was made out to be a schooner full of men, using her sweeps and every means possible to get off; from which circumstance supposing her to be a privateer, and perceiving her intention of attempting to escape through the be forementioned channel, I made all possible sail, and at eight o'clock got her within reach of the guns, which, from the short tacks I was obliged to make, was prevented from using to that advantage and effect I could have wished without losing ground ; therefore, though several shot went over, and through her sails, she still persevered in beating to windward until she had advanced near the centre of the channel, whete, finding it impossible to prcceed further, she came to an anchor under a reef of rocks, at which time (ten in the forenoon), having beat the ship up into sis fathoms water, but deeming it im prudent to proceed further, and finding it would be almost impossible to destroy the vessel with the gnus, not being able to anchor, or to bring 17 a : roadsides to bear to advantage, from the short tacks we were obliged to make, without hazard to the ship; yet, Judging it of importance to take or destroy the vessel by some means or other, I im mediately hosted three boats out. and sent them manned and armed under the dire&ion of Lieutenant Mullah (Second Lieutenant), assisted by Lieute nant Lockyer ( third), with several Midshipmen, all volunteer* on the oecatiun. The instant the boat pht of from the ship, the schooaer hoisted French c lours, fired a gun, and warped her broadside towards them ; as the boats advanced, the erivareer courn.nced 6rieg grisi e trom her great guns, and on their nearer approach opens! a fire of musketry ; ytt, notwiflEtand:ng, and a strong sea breeze against the boats, Lieu. tenant Mullah, in the most intrepid and gallant manner possible, pulled up ,in the: face of several discharges of trap.% ani a heavy fire of musketry from fifty mu: d•-awn up round the deck, boarded and carried her. It is impossible to speak too high ly, or saflki.-ntly to express my sense of the bravery and intrepid conduct of Lieutenants Mullah and Lockyer, e as well as the petty officers, seamen. ald M3/1:1t!, employed under them ; considering the disadvantage under which they were obliged to at tack, and the praparation thesenemy had made for defence, being nearly noon day ; ncr can I t'o much commend the spirit and alacrity with which they volunteered their services on the occasion, as well as the whole of the ship's company. am happy to add, that only two men were wounded, one seaman and one marine (badly) ; the French lost nine killed and six wounded, beside three missing, supp iced to have been downed in attempting to swim on shore; the wounded I sent to St. Domingo by a flag of truce this morning. The remainder I keep on board, there being . no English prisoners to exchange in lieu. The priva teer proves, to be the I lirondelle, Captain La Piace, with ten four-pounders and fifty men, and two days out from St. Domingo. She had run most of the last war, and all the present, frequently chased, but from her fast sailing always escaped. I am, !cc. Ktvtx Mazwatt. Vice-AdinirAl Fir I : T. Deckwortis, K if• &c. Sic. kc.

Haring plated Captain Henniker, of His Ma jests', sloop Albacore, under the orders of modore Duke de llouillen, with diredionsstoftse lrts utmost endeavours to intercept any of the eirentyli flotilla passing along the French coast: I had the satisfaaion, last evening, to receive an account of h4having pursued, on the 81h inst.snt, fire gtin lug gars, and driven them on the rocks or: Grosuez on the following day. Captain Henniker anchored as near them as was consistent with the safety of the ship, and kept up a heavy fire upon them with round and grape shot, until they were covered with the surf, and abandon ed by their people, who appear to have been very ,numerous, and among them several wete distin guished as soldiers by their clothing. Great praise is du: to Captain Henniker for this spirited and gallant attack within a few hundred yards of the French coast, and under a heavy fire from fhe enemy'sbatteries and vessels : great com mendation is alsredne to the officers and crew of the Albacore, who appear to have afted in the most de termined manner, and to hare preserved the most exalt discipline, in so intricate a st.sation, with the wind direaly on the shore, and close to a heavy surf; the Albacore was hulled in several places, and the main and main-topmast wounded ; bat, I am happy to find, has suffered no loss in Men. Herewith I enclose the Commodore's letter, re porting the particulars of this anion; and am, See. JAMU SAL:M4PEZ. Fisa Majen. 's Ship 5.... en,. SIR, Jeri -t , ILkt 1 Pais. lily hopes, as expressed to you in my letter of the Bth inst. are happily realised by the success that attended the Albacore's pursuit of the vessels that were perceived creeping along the shores of No:- mandy on that day ; and I have :Duch pleuwire in transmitting you the following detail of the circum stance: Captain Henniker obeyed the signal with admirable promptitude, slipped his cable, aed made every sail for the opposite shore, on which tne wind direitly blew; and although the Assault and cutter returned, not having discovered the enemy, and lost the Albacore in time haze. the latter socceeJed in iutercepting. mar the Grusnex de ii . :amanville. five baggers of the enemy, that appear to have been gun vessels of the second class, with bow gun., and to force them to anchor close to the surf, under the cover of a battery to the southward of Grotney ; the wind dead on the shore, aei a lee tide, induced Captain Henniker to take a position to await the return of day to attack them with a me Irespesct,of success. which he effected with infinite galtan:ry yesterday morning at ten o'clock, when. taking the advantage of the weather tide, he stood in the Al bacore, under a heavy fire from the battery and gun vessels, and auchoredcleee to the latter, widths two cables length of the surf, with springs on his cable, sad at eleven o'clock cper.ed a unart and well-dheaed fire of round and grape shot, until the enemy's vessels were all driven on shore, and lay broadside-to in a heavy surf, that broke with great violence over them; th.-ir men, or which they ap pear to have been full, landing in great confusion through the surf, and scrambling up the bench half accoutred, their white belts being distinaly seen from tine Albacore; from the nu.riber that were seen borne by others up the strand and sand-hllls. Captain Henniker thinks there were many killed and wounded; indeed there is every reason to hope their discomfiture was compete, from die very jadicious position Captain Henniker had taken ; the tide felling, and the wind cordinuing to blow strong on the shot,. and the Albacore's anchor dragging, he was obliged to *Landon the anchor and spring. and haul off, the main and main top mast shot through, the shi t s hulled in several by the enemy's shot, and the rigging much c.,:, though, happily, not a man was toucaied. Captain Henniker speaks in terms of high approbation of Lie support afforded hint by Ueurenants Trotter and George, and the rest of the officers and crew of the ship; and particuLuly commends the readiness and. determined manner in which Mr. Wybcrt. the Hot, took and placed the s. ip in the situation to died the service that Captain Henniker . r.imself tl :rose pleasure in tearing trains kr. y ) ;sot so much re to execute, s i much dolt I know not which :e • 1.. n. mend :;: •;t; his pro.lipzkuJe and a..9iv:rr :.1 pursuit, •ir gallant spirit in the dash to foiiow effeß, amidst the surf on a Ice shire, and in very threateame weather.
