At noon, the French, frigate joined ; her Captain went un hoard the Coininatt;leic in-Chief, where he remained a short time, and •returned to his ship. Observed_ the Severn's boat, with the triter, pulling out from the Citv. At 2. au. Lord Extuf.oth made the signal general. "ire you ready ?" which was mediatety answered, " Ready."

At 2. 43, the boat employed a:a truce rethrued to the Queen Charlotte—cleweti up our sails 'folk - Whig the 'motions of the Commander-iir-Chief; who, at 2. 45. 'afichored abreast of the Sl,4e, and within shot. At 2. 47, Leartder anchored hi tier station, close a-head of the Queen Charlotte, in five fathoms water, when the enemy opened most tremendous fire, • which was iostantly returned by the broadsides of the Queen Charhet e 11. A fleet h'ilchuring ia the sta. thms as.igued them, and opening It vigorous fire. Observed the retest of our fire had totally destro3cd_ the torinv's glq briats awl row-galleys, and defeated their int'eution of hoard ing, . The battle now raged wills great fury, OiliCerlArtUi men falling very fast, ruid masts, yards, and rigging . eirting ail directions: At three, mist-reed the enemy's colours shot away in same of their batteries, which were vevery 'coati re hoisted, and their fi , e obsfinate.r At :1. 50. 311 officer of the llehrus came fro a the Commander• in -Chief, with orders to cease . firine, to alow the' enemy's frigate moored across the N,fol e to be set.oo fire, which was done in a a' i teli !ant style by a boat from the Queen Charlotte. At 3. 5.5. :a riyo • roue firing was .re-commericerl'• t o t both Sides. Our flat boats throwing rockets with good effect, smile inagazifies wore observed . . to , explode. At '4. 10. the enemy's frigate .burning with great rapidity, mid-drifting near us, the Cow mander-in-Cloef sent an ()dicer to direct us to haul out clear of her. At 4. 1,5. the commander-in-Chief made the signal for barges and pinnaces. Sent our lows to Qacen Charlotte, under the command of Liemenaut Monk. At 4. SO. Lieutenant Nook returned with orders from the Commander-in-Chief to keep the busts in readiness to assist the Leander. Perceieing the ship on tire to he drifting past us, kept our station. At 6.:30. observed the city on lire in several places, and the Mole-head and other batteries near its ahnost demidished ; the enemy remounting guns, we Conti nuing, a smart cannonading. At seven, found rite batteries abreast of us to slacken, but were greatly cot up frouilmtte-_, - ries on the starboard - bow. Knit :t hawser to ';''evern, and. hove our broadside to bear on them. At 25 tuifautcs past seven, the whole of the enemy's ships in the .1101 e were ob served to be on fire --our masts, yards, sails, and rigging, at this period, so entirely cat to pieces, as to prevent litt, if necessary, setting a sail on the ship--officers and men falling fast, and a great proportion already killed and wonnded; butt our fire continued with'unabated fury—enetuy's lire con siderably slackened--ships on tire drifting near us—hauled on, our spring fast to Severn, tut found it shot array ; anus it fast again, and cut the small hower,•to haul out of the way of the ships on fire. At 9.46. the fleet hauling and towing out, but from the state of the masts, sails, and rigging, found our own exertions ineffectual to haul or tow ma r our hawser, which was fast to Severn, being gone, and no other ship near us, Lnwered the gig, to send Lieutenant Sliunders (Ist I.teut.) to inform Lord Exmouth of mir situation ; but the boat was sunk,-and the jolly-boat, which that officer and erew then embarked in, was alsO sunk a short distance from the ship; but the crews were picked np by . the fist,boat, and proceeded to the Commander-in-Chief, who innnediately ordered assistance to be sent to the Leander. At 10. 30. cut the stern cables, smite boats towin4. us also, a hawser fast to Severn, with a light air off the shire, which enabled us to move out slowly, and clear the ships on fire. The enemy re tommenced ii heart! fire of musquet Ey upon us, and smut few large :gulls ut intervals tired grape and canister to dislodge their small-arm alto. 'At 11. 25. the Leander cruised firing, drawing fast out.into the bay.. Light breezes, and cloudy, with thunder and light ning , A t m id night, answered the signal for the Beet to aorbor.

At day-light mustered ship's company by ship's books, and found that 16 were killed and 120 wounded; found our howsprit, fore, main and mires-masts very badly wouinted, fore and inititt-yarOs shot away—main and misen topmasts shut away; main topsails, yard, the standing and conning rigging so completely cut Iv, that we had scarce a. rope to make. use ; our sails just as bad ; employed clearing the wreck. At 9. 30. Actiog-CaPtitin IlitdltellCame On board from the Cotpmander-in. , hief, to thank Captain Chetham. for the admirable position taken up by the Leander, 'and for her conduaduring theconflict." Another Letter says— ills Highness the Dry, it would seem, was deluded by a false confidence in his meuns of defence, and ignorance of aiir naval character. lie permitted us to take our position . without molestatim i , intending, ( it is sinc e conte,seili to' board us front his flotilla, whilst we were furling sails; 3; boats were all fully manned and prepared.for the service ; hut, ts. their utter confusion, means bad been prepared to Mem up, instead of foisting them, so that we began their dreadful home and destruction before they could apply the few strokes of the oar Which would have brought them alongside our ships. The tremendous broadsides of the Queen Char lotte and Leander pion ing upon them, instantly sent them to the deep, leaving scarcely a .wreck behind, but the harbour covered with people swimming froM destruction. Three times were the batteries on the Mule cleared, and thrice were they manned again, The I)ey was every- where offering pe cuniary rewards to those who would stand. against us k eight aequins were tu be given to every man who would tilde:ll4pr o, et` inguish the fire. At length a horde of Arabs were driven into the batteries, under the inspection of the must devot edrif she Janissaries, and the gates closed upon them.— Many of the wounded returned to their quarters after dressed, awl many anecd o t es could be related of belt , devotion to ttictr country. All the passage they Gad been trained to their guns, and they ware sceirto take situ and lire as deliberately at if they had 'been exercising. The wounded ale doing amazingly well; seventy-sit breve fellows have been already restored to the service. 1 believe it is not generally Kriown that our worthy Admiral, Milne, received sies;e re ioninsion of the thigh by a cannon shot—he sulfereil touch pain, hut his modesty, as coospicitims as his merit, prevented its being mentioned It nuts tee worthy of remark, that one of our youngsters (a Midshipman) was so fatigued, that he slept most soundly fur an hour, oi) the quarter deck, during the heat of the action."
