EXTRACT PRIM Tint' REPORT OE CAPTLIN COMMANDER OF ILI3 MAJEsTy'S..OILIGATE, Tli ARETHusE, ADDRESSED TO THE MINISTER UP THE MARINE. , • f On board tlii'Arethuse, April, 19, 18::1, h is Majesty 's Frigate Le .Rub s, Captain Oli vier, and; l'Aretliose,, - undee my command, having cruised from .the 25th of. November last, till the, latter end of January, in the 'thest heavy seas, I. steered for_ the' coast of Africa, and carried into the Isles de Los, the Portuguese ship la Serra i :pile of .onr- Prizes, the cargo of which might' serve Me_ for refitting the two frigates. • On' the 27th oil arriving off those islands, the RubiS, which was a-lead, perceived a brig of war, which, while yet far off, sent a boat With an officer 'on board her. This boat, on coming near, recognised theibibis, and carried a press of sail to esgape, hot she ww4 soon brought to. The vessel disco,'vered Was the English brig of war the Daring, pi' 14 guns.' The breeze being but weak, the Rubis did not get within shot of the brig, until she had- made the land. We immediately afterwards saw her flames, and at five o'clock in- the evening she blew. up. At six o'clock, we came to anchor in the roads of the Isles de Los. : I immediately Went on - shore on these islands, where we found springs of fresh water, fruits, and refreshments Of all,kinds. I was informed that the,English establishment at' Sierra Leone was the chief rendezvous for two frigates and several sloops of war, stationed there; that one of the frigates had left that place,. some days previous to our arrival, and that the one re maining (the ..lnielia) appeared to be much larger and stronger then,ottrs. the course of six days, we completed our provisions and water for six months, : refreshed the shiPs' crews, and repaired Gar vessels and their rigging. Previotts to my put ting to sea again, J determined on sending back the English prisoners which I had on board, on condition of their being exchanged ;, and . 1, gave them a cutter which,l had taken, to carry them to Sierra Leone. - - 1 put the Portuguese in posses- Sion of the La Serra, uid on the 4th of February we sailed from Le Los , Roads. At four o'clock, the Arethuse touched on a , shoal, although we bud, five fathoms water by the lead. I hoisted all sail, and got' off immediately,' but the pieces of sheath ing which came up, showed we that I had, run tin a point of rock of coral; the frigate, however, did nut make any water. The rudder vras knock.: ed off, and the -broken pins remained partly in their irons. After having driven .for some time into fire fathoms water; I to anchor. The .Le.ltubis, which was in thy wake; anchored about two cables' length to the eastward of me. I moored with a kedge'. anchor out to the, north ward, and hoisted the rudder upon the poop.• The night was- calm, and the - sea smooth until about three o'clock in the mOrning,., when a very black storm coming on from the north-east, I moored with a second anchor, which was scarcely at. the' bottom before the cable ,of the first anchor broke. The wind blew with great violence, and the frigate rode very heavy,. all the straps to the coble with Which r-1- had moored were broken,_ and the keel was damaged. We now found ourselves .in the'. most critical situation that .can be:.itnagined driving with great• rapidity on the coast of Ta Mara, which was not far distant. I got under sail, but without rudder ; assailed by agate of wind, in the 'midst of islands . and banks almost unknown% finding the bottom in- four fathoms,, , and in the darkest night ! I nevertheless made use of every rciource•still in my power. A cable was run out through the middle window of my cabin, and two , braces which were lashed to it at three fathoms, outside the side, governed it. " By the aid of this implement, and of the'sails,- whiali I continually, balanced, I 'succeeded hi getting out into thoopen sea, and into' twelve fathoms water. Soonalter, the gale abated, rand the .Weather Cleared up ; at alay 7 light ‘vefoond ourselves at alioL"fotir leagues to the north-east of .Tatuara„ and becalmed : looked Out. all . round for Le Rufus, having seen her get, under sail at the same time with myself ; but how great was my surprise to find' her again close in With, the islands, and covered with sig nals : my / distance , from her prevented Ante from distinguishing them, but I judged them to be of melencholy . presage.. My crew was- employed without relaxation part in managing the ship, which, Was .a very' difficult matter ; and the. ,other, iii getting the fin :hors on the forecastle, to bend therm, &c, and the carpenters were at work in altering the rudder-irons. The corporal of the artillery; Paillett, plunged into the sea, ru,it • With Standing the presence of 'some sharks, -and • cleared the irons.hf'theatern-postirom thebrokeir pins which ehoaked them. At eight d'elOek, we let go a small anchor in 12, fathoms water, with black , ground, and the ship's - company were en- . - Oiled - to take, a little rest. . At aboet I I o'clock the &lois fired several and at noon we discovered her' signal to be',." that the pumps were insufficient to free her, - I immediately caused two pumps to be hoisted into my long-boat, and sent her off to the Rubin, with orders to Captain 'Olivier to endea - your-. to keep her until the morning, when I hoped to, rVi,oin him I and, if he could not do so, to, go with his ship's Company on board the prize La Serra, from which he was' to diseMbark the Portuguese. At two o'clock in' the niorning or the 6th, my long-b Oat, _on returning back with the iptimps, informed me,' that the .Rubes was' to-: tally lost on the rocks, on Odell she was thrown by the'gale of the preceding night, 'and that her crew were -gone board, La. Serra. la the Morning, the .dretikuse's ;rudder. was completely. repaired : we, perceived, a large Vessel to wind ward, 'which bore 'down upon us with a fresh breeze,, and I made all clear for coming to , action. At noon we were all clear ; the sail in sight was • discovered to be • a frigate, and not more than h a lf ; a Teague distant, the breeze freshening up. At ,this dale the Rubies Jong-boat Caine front Capt. Olivier, to request sonic pumps, bat w hi c h 1 coidd not then give hiM, as the enemy W as nearing me, whom I had, first to engage, and then go in search of his ship's crew. ; EnAgn Thibaut-, Caly, who - conianinded .. the Ritbis's boat, ,rt. quested that he might remain 'On board With his boat's crew 'during the enga,gement, with+ 're, oueSt. I . granted him. As soon'es I ,had set sail, I hauled upon the wind on the starboard tack; the , new) , f o llowing at' a short distance on the Hattie tack, and wall the saute sail set as the Atythl44e • • " had. Rettig Obliged to 'seat up on account of the banks, the enemy imitated my inanCeuvre ; and 1 having set Set all sails, he the the same. We were thus runni t rg large With a ti ne breeie 8. S. and I was not long in - perceiving that I , t - wined on, the E»glish frigate, a.;:•.d I even reek . one() 'oti attacking hei in the course of the night, .relies! . a thick fug caused me to kr - se, sight of het:. On• the next day; the 7th, we were at - about six leagitei to the east Ward sof the Isles . de Los, tp , wasahnost calin,;and I did tint get sgh t of the 'enemy's frigate till about, eleven o'clock. I stood:. towards tier, ,pod sheanade off with all sailS ; but ,whether the .I etltuse Sailed. better than she did, or whether •she-mticie some mance:tyre to Jet, us come , op with her, at •stitt. , set l fonnti myself nearer to her than on 'the preceding evening : the breeze cootinued :inct easing ; apd at seven o'clock the enemy resolved - on attacking us, anri .hore /lown •on our, bow ; 1 waited • for him,• and at we were within pistol-shot or each Otblac ~tin‘ d er our :top-sails," with a small breeze from the east; and-• fine, clear, minmiight" weather ; and we had not as yet tired 'a - "Shot.. :I' 'Commenced the. firing by a discharge of m,y whole broadside, which ;was immediately returned by. the enemy. A furiotra engagement then took place, in which ouryessels seemed to be joined' by a coltunn of ;smoke. We had beetrioni of 'each other for several minutes, and during stn how and 'an half we had not been more than a pistol-shot off eaoh -other. Mean while our tire appeared-to me, to surpass that of the enemy,. and at the Close of an hour and an half, oor .soperiority seeming to me sufficievtly certain to endeavour to "board him, I. hauled on the Wind,• but the braces and boiv-lines being cut to pieces, both. fore and aft, by the enemy's shot, it was not •possible for me to get aityelosertO him. The enemy, 011 his *tide, •ioade 'more sail. flis, fire, which had nearly Ceased, became br'i'sker, when he had opened our distance, -and did cousi- , derable da.mage to our rigging. At' II : o'clock the fire ceased" on both sides.' We were longer in good condition, and the enemy, crowding all sail, abandoned the field of hattle'to us; I had nothing more tit 'heart, than to have the necessary Work cline for making,sail;-, hauling upon a Wind, and 'pursuing our a d van t age .' Th e A re ti a i se . bad suffered enormously : 20 men killed antright been thrown, into the sea daring the engagement ; 82 men grievously wounded, ,Were down in the Surgeon's birth ; turd excepting t h .e Master Car periter; all my .

Of fi cers were • killed or wounded such men as w ere . .only slightly woand ed bad not quitted their posts, or i liad returned to . them, after haying their. wimnds dressed ; and in the midst of, this scene of carnage, tie fourth part: of. the crew left,Wished only for commencing the attack. It was calm the Whole night; which we'passect in repairing the ship. At break of day-the enemy was lying to the south r east of us, at about a league and a half distance, . standing to the southward with all sag set,. ,with a light breeze. from the north-east; 1 then occupied .Myself solely 'with tile fate of Capt. CtliVier, Whom 1 had left with Irts -crew on the - 'lsles de Los ; for , which, islands I shaped nay coarse, and got sightiof them the next day, _being the 9th. 'ln the afternoon we got sight of a three:. masted ship, corning out frOm,thenee. I itulud it to be the Serra, and passed the night iu standing off and on. It proved, indeed, to he that vessel ' : I her in the morning of the.loth. Capt., Olivier, with his whole crew, were on board her. He / bad embarked in hislprize, as ,I had advised him,. after' having destroyed the remains of the Rubis, which it Was found .impossible to ,get afloat agail. lie was making his passage for France, notwithstanding all the risks and confinement at- tending n long voyage, with 300 mei'i on board a ;vessel of 300 tons btathen, in bad condition, and very badly provisioned. This Worthy and unfor tunate Captain and companions-saw us again 'With inexpt ess;filejoy; which the happiness of our being usefulirto them caused us to' partake of in a still more lively degree-. I took half the Rubes.'s crew on board the Arethuse, mind took'the Serra iii tow until 'we reached the latitude of Madeira.--. - There I took, on hoard every thing .out of that 'vessel, and then destroyed her, as she retarded my voyage. .1 passed several days in cinizing off the Azores, where I fell in with two of truce', which were earrying:the crew of the Java frigate to England ; I chased several English corvettes, which, however,' I could not,come up - With.----On the 10th, I entered St. hltalues, having only ten days' provisions left. In the course of my cruize,- . 1 have. taken -15 of the enemy's vessels. I have every reason to be satisfied with the zeal and pro-- gress ht iostractitia made by ,those of our con scripts who‘trow inu'de thejr first campaign; and I cannot bestow sufficient praise on the officers; masters, and'seamen of all elasses,.compoiing the'. ship's company. They have all rivalled each other in giVing proofs oftheir courage anti devotion un derall circumstances ; and the ability wi th which- I have-been see o nd e dby the officersis superior to any eulogiton I can bestOw on" them.
