EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM VIZAGAPATA24I DATED IBTH SEPT, • " The HonoUrable CoMpany's Ship Prince:: Ckarlotte. arrived at this port on, rise evening of the 4th, and His Majesty's, Ship, Centurion, of SO gutis, Capt. Ltriu, anchored in the Roads the fol lowing morning. At seven o'clock this morning three 'suspicious Shijas were observed in the offing, standing in under a press of sail. At eight they spoke each other; and gave us reason to believe they were au Eliemy. The weathermost of the two Fri gates then hoisted Freneh colou rs , stood close in round the . Indiaman, who struck her colours.with out reeeiVing*or 'firing a gun, and commenced a fire.tipOn the Centurion, which was instantly return. ed midi a styl e as drove her off in a few minut e s ~ with press of sail to leeward. Immediately a large Line of Battle Ship; supposed to be the Marengo, Admiral' L t Ivy ts, of Bo guns, w i t h a heavy Frigate, bore down upon the Centurion, and, after an en. gagement of about 39 minutes, the Flag Ship and Frigate bore off, and stood after the other Frigate, when they all enure to in the offing. . As soon as the sin(9ke cleared, we observed that . His Majesty's Ship Centurion, which had received damage igA' her rigging, was under weigh, to Occupy a. position in shore, which would preclude the possibility,of her being surrounded, where she anchored with a spring , on her cable. 44. At half past eleven the French Line of Battle Ship and one Frigate came down from the South, ward anti Windward of the Centurion, with an op. parent determination to engage her closely, but, to their eternal disgrace, trey opened their fire at a long and cautious distance, where the Flagship anchored, the Frigate taking up a position on the Centurion's quarter, both keeping up a tremendous fire upon His Majesty's Ship, "which continued about an hour, and was returned with that coolness and resolution which ever marks the British Sea. man, and which ultimately obliged the Enemy to give up :a Comet so unequal and glorious to the King's Ship, and to sheer off, the Centurion giv ing the large. Ship a raking fire as she presented.her stern. In the course of the, aaion the after Frigate came dawn to the Indianian, while her Consorts were engaged, and she is now in their possession. The Bursii44y, Country Ship, Capt. WATr, ran tin shore, and, ,by his judicious precaution, was pre. vented from falling into the hands of the Enemy: On the first appearance of the French Squadron, four is pounders were manned at the Fort .Bit tery, and kept up a sharp Are as the Ships, came within reach. • — A detachment of Sepoys were embarked in Boats for the defence of the Honour. able Company's Ship, but her Colours were struck before they reached her, and they were re.crtileri. His Majesty's Ship has most nobly supported the ho nour of the British Flag. The French Squadron are now standing with a press of sail to the Eas t. ward, and at present. evince no disposition to re. new the attack: In this action the French Spa_ dron, and particularly the Line of Battle Ship, be. frayed the greatest irresolution." tortrtAcror A LETTER DATED THE I9TH INST. 44 } t 1c nine o ° ,cleick: yetertiAy evening ct,e 14'rench Squadron chang.d their course to the Northward, standing up the'lliy befkne the wind.

" The Admiral was now sure John Bell stood in his way—an undaunted and dctcrinined animal-: we Cheered him as lie approached, and coolly reserved our broadside for him; he commenced long balls, which was returned only for a mintte or rwo:fro in our lower deck. At length the happy moment ar rived that our cat ronades would tell, and when they did he would only recei ve one b roa d s id e; wh i ch cut him much, very perceptibly, and he'hanled out of our reach, colletted his Frigates; and appeared disposed to send them in a raking position, one a-head, the other astern, and keep the beam himself. " This, however, was frustrated by . our, cable being cut away ; and the Ship casting, a Council was held, and a determination formed to run near the shore to prevent them cutting her off; this — clone, we anchored so near, that neither of the gnenty, could pass between us and the surf. The Frigates I placed themselves on how and quarter at three guar.. ters of a mile distance. The Mare ego passed our stern, and poured in her. tremendous andisiell,di. retied broadside ; as we secured our spring which we had on the cable, we came a second time to her broadside, and plyed her With such cffeet, thst she aftually made sail from our colletted and destruCtive fire, and anchored at three quarters of a mile dis. ranee. " Our carronades were of no service at this length, and she lay in this manner pelting Os with +z.pounders, which we' returned with 2+ for about an hour. We began at ten;and about hall past one, finding they had their match, they made all sail to thp offing, hove too to repair damages, and at five last evening made all sail to the northward. " One of the Frigates took out the Hi r mouralik Company's Ship Pr iircess Charlotte, Capt. 1.406Ati. One of our Men, who had been lent as a caulker, with ten of the Ship's Company, made their escape in the Cutter, and are now with us. " The Indiaman has been dispatched to the south-east. " Capt. WATT, of the Burnaby, greatly to his credit, ran his Ship on shore, to prevent her falling into the hands of the Enemy. " The Centtiriox is much cut in her masts, the main and tore wounded on the head."—the rigging much cut and fount disabled—we have not ainan killed—one is badly wounded, but not despaired of, seven others slightly, and nor an Officer hurt. " Thus you see we hare gained the palm cfvic .tory without the expense of a Subje& to His Ma. •jesty,.and happily do we renal, that it will nut cast our parents - and friends a tear, except those of joy. We have many of their shot on board, and they_ are. too large fur our largest carronades, and a number !laic 'hulled us between wind and`water.
