Admiral ef the Sim-, ire to William Marsden, E,l. dated uff RAntegatc, i4fft nistani. SIR, I herewith transmit, for their Lordships' informa tion, a copy of a letter from Captain Owen, of His Majesty's ship the Immortalite. to Rcar.Admiral Louis, detailing the particulars of an anion between that ship, the Orestes sloop, a:.41 Basilisk gun-brig, and a division of the enemy's flotilla, passing yes terday from the Eastward towards Boulogne. It will no doubt afford their Lordships much sa tisfattion to observe the very favourable report which Captain Owen makes on the condo.% of His Majesty's Officers and men; and equal regret to remark the extent of the lass that has been sustain ed, mid that the shallowness of the water alone pre vented that anise and enterprising Officer from cutting any pert of this division off from the shore. I enclose a list of the killed and wounded on board the Immortalite; and have the honour to be. &c. 1111TH. Hi Majesty's ship Immortalise. off SIR, Roul.igne, Oct. is, 1604 Being off Cape Grisnez. and proceeding to my station before Boulogne, 1 this afternoon, about half-past three, discovered a division of the enemy's vessels, consisting of three praam ships, seven brigs, and fifteen lugger', which soon after bore up to the Westward, keeping close to the beach, under cover of their batteries, and accompanied by horse artil lery, making the be.t of their way to shelter them sels•es within the Banc de Lame. By making all sail to windward, I was enabled to dose the praams (which kept together) about a quarter before Are, and to open my are upon them within the distance of grape shot, under the high land of Cape Blanc Sea, the enemy still pushing to the westward, and retuning at hest a brisk are, but ,~ I (talc' SIXPINCE. r it . latterly slackened much :—this running fight co' • muted till near six, when, having been thrice oblig , d to sheer out into deeper w rtes. we found onr:elves still within the end of the Bane de Laine, where tl . e falling tide prevented us from following them, and obliged us to haul off. Our little Calais tquadrnn was to windward fol. lowing the enemy, of which the Orestes and Basilisk joined me in the first of the attack, giving me every support and assistance during the whole of the aCton ; their commanders gave me much satisfac tion in condueting them. The other vessels of that squadron did not get within gun-shot; Captain • Brown will of course make his report to Vies-Ad. miral Holloway; but I spoke him in passing. and was pleased to learn he had sustained no damage I endeavoured to el oe the enemy again as they passed from behind the Banc to round Cape.Grisnva, and did get sight of a few of the vessels ; but though we passel within half gun shot of the Cape, the enemy were so effettually screened from our sight by the dark shade of the land, that I cou!d Jo nothing, and am unable to say whet!!er the wh..le numbxr got down to Boulogne, or n hethvr (as I so fl) a part of them anc:,cored in ‘Vhitsand Bay. Lieutenant Payne, though ill, was upon deck, and afforded me, as he has cli•nc in every instance, the greatest aid; and it is not possible for me to speak too highly of the conelna of every oil er rad every man ; each, in his station, gave me e.e satistaltion: but it gives me serious pain to add, that, of these brave tello..vs, one WAS killed and ten wounded (three mortally). besides the :'hird Lieu tenant, Charles Burrough Strong, of whose assist ance I was deprived before a shot was fired by us, an.l.whose loss I fe.,l the more, as two years' service with me in this ship has fully proved to rue his worth; his wonn.ls, however, are not dangerous. My thanks are due to Mr Henry Thornton, our pilot, for his steady, attentive, good eondita and alacrity, and regretting that the nature of the coast in that part where we closed the enemy enabled them to skulk from our further pursuit. I have the honour to he, &e. (Sign e d) E. W. C. R. Owen. Rear Adagral Lquel. he. &c. P. S. From the manner in ve-ich our grape-shot covered the enemy's vessels, their loss in tnen must have been very great.—l never saw guns pointed better or so coolly.

MY LORD, Wednesday. 24th Oct Is 4 I beg to acquaint your Lordship, that p art o f t h e enemy s flotilla. consisting of two ?num ships, one bearing the flag of Chierof liivision, and both un der French colours, with eighteen schuyts, put to sea yesterday afternoon front Ostend at four p.m. to run to the westward, just at the moment His Ma. • jesty's sloop under my command, with the gun. brigs and cutters named in the margin*, were stand ing in to reconnoitre that port. As soon as I could give the necessary dire Rictus to the gun-brigs to put themselves under my orders, &c. I made sail in pursuit of the headmost pr-ain ship, wnich brought to close anion at fifteen mi nutes past five, in which I was very handsomely vv. ported by the gun-brigs and carters, and comiaued it with great apparent effea. till thirty-five minutes past six the enemy's tir e b e i ng entirely rlenced. and for the last halt hour only keeping up a taint the of musketry. _ The tide aas however falling so rapidly, and the enemy kept in such shoal water, that it was not pos sible to close with him, to take that advantage which, by our fire, we had so manif es tly over hi m . It was falling also dark, 31 , 41 being in less than three fathoms water. I considered it proper to haul off and anchor, having no t erson on board ac. quainted with the shoals to the westward oC Ostend. It is witteztreme concern, I acquaint your Lord ship, that Ifi Lieutenant Ormsby'. gallant zeal to close with the enemy, agreeably to my orders, the Conflia took the grouni, and the tide left her so rapidly, that every endeavour he used to get her afloat was unsuccessful, and he was under the neces sity of quitting her with his people. The darkness, that came or. betoie the cloy. of the • aftion, prevented me from being aware of this un fortunate accident till Lieu' Ormsby came on board the Cruiser with his people after we had anchored. I unmediacelv ordered him with his people back • Maser, t, A...uital 544404 Gr.:La, .Alai Jason.
