SIR,—On the 28th ultimo I informed you of the proceedings of the_squadron to that time. The ! weather cortinuing very bad, the wind blowing ' ' From the 3W. the squadron not in a situation of , safity, and s e:rty little prospeict of gi tting the cap ! ,tured • •ns off the land, and ereat risk of some of tern getting into port, I determined cc longer to delay the destroying them, and to get the squadron out of the deep bay. The extraordinary exertion of Capt. Capel, how ever. saved the French •hip Swiftsure; and his ship, 'the Pi.elbe. together with Coe D regal, Capt. Mal colm, afterwards brought oat the Bahama. Indeed. nothing can exceed the perseverance of Al the of ficers employed in this 517ViCe. Capt. Hope rigged lit!. • and succeeded in bringkg out the Ildefoolo I all of which will, I hope, have arrited safe at Gibraltar. For the rest, Str, I enclose you a list of all the ere ' 4 toy's fleet, which were in the vlion, and how they I are disposed of, which, I believe, is perfectly cor re& I informed you, in my letter of the Nth, that the remnant of the eoemy's fleet came out a second ) • $ time, to endeavour, in the bad weather, to cut off some of the hulks, when the Rayo was dismasted, band fell into our hands ; she afterwards parted her cable, went on shore, and was wrecked. The In domptablc, one of the same squadron, was also i roli dt iven on shore. wrecked, and her crew perished. The Santa Anna and Algeziras being driven near the shore of Cadiz, got such assistance as has en abled them to get in : but the ruin of their meet Is as complete as could be expelled, under the cir cumstances of fighting them des_ to their own shore. Had the battle been in the ocean, still fewer would have escaped. Twenty sail of the line are taken or destroyed ; and of those which got in, not snore than three are in a repairable state for a length f time. Rear Admiral Louis, in the Canopus, who Fa 3 been detached with the Queen, Spencer, and Tigre, to complete the water, &c. of these ships, and to see the convoy in safety a certain distance up the Me diterranean, joined me on the 30th. In clearing the captured ships of prisoners, I f,rand so many wounded men, tf.at to alleviate hu man misery as mach as was in my power, I sent to the Marquis de Solana, Governor-General of Anda lusia, to offer him the wounded to the care of their country, on receipts being given : a proposal which was received with the greatest thankfulness, not only by the Governor, hut the whole country resounds with expressions of gratitude. Two French fri gates were sent out to receive them, with a proper officer to give receipts, bringing with them all the English who had been wrecked in several of the ships, and an offer from the Marquis de Solana of the use of their hospitals for our wounded, pledging the honour of Spain for their heing carefully at tended. I have ordered most of the Sranish prisoners to be released ; the officers on parole ; the men for receipts given, and a condition, that they d 3 not serve in war, by sea_pr land, until exchanged.
