Majestic, at Sea, Feb. 5, IM4. • I have the honour to acquaint you, that in my Nvay from St. Michael's to Madeira, in the execu lion of yOur orders, at day-light in the'merning v.:f the &I instant, in latitude 37, and - longitude 20, being then in thase of a ship in th.e . N. E. sup rosed,to he one of the, enemy's:cruizers, three , hips Rod a _brig were discovered about three I..agues off in , the S. S. F. of very suspicious aP", pearance, and mit answering the private signal, gave over thepursuitof the ship . tc:ithe northward and eastward, hoisted. my colours, and proceeded to reconnoitre the southern squadron, when' two Of the ships immediately 'gave chac,e to me; on closing within fom miles, I discovered them to be two 44 gun frigates, a' ship mounting 20 guns, and a brig, 'shish I could not perceive to be armed. I determined on forcing them . to shew ~,,, they appeared to . wish to avoid), and for , that purpose stood directly for the headmost frigate, when she shortened sail, and brOgght. for ,the other to close. I now made all sail, in . the" hope of being , able to get along side of her-before it 'could he Iffeeted ; but in-this I was foiled, by her %veining,' making sailiand joining the. other, and, taking statioii aLhead and alAtern, with the twerity,gun-ship and brig on their. weather bow ; they stood to the S. S: E: with larboard _studding sails, and hit the sail that could be ,carried ; the sterninost' hoisted French colours ; at a quarter of an hour past two'' o'clock, she opened a tire from the aftermost guns upon us; at , three O'cibek, being in a. Odd posi tion Noing ``ten knots an hour), commenced firing 'with ,considerable effect, the shot going either through : or: just over the starboard quarter to the forecastle, over the larboard bow ; when, at forty-nine -minutes past four, she struck her co lours to his;, Maje,sty:s ship Majestic, under my • command. The wind intre€Cnig„ the prize ii~t a state of great confusion, and nig.fat approaching, obliged . the to Ktav by her, : .anclio suffer the other frigate, with the ship and brig, to escape; the sea got up very fast, so that:, only one hundred of the prisoners could be ex4hanged, and' even in effecting that, one boat was lost, and two prisoners drowned ; this I hope; Sir,, will plead my apology, for not bringing you the'whole of them. The captured ship is the Terpsichore, of forty-four guns, - 18 and 24-pounders, and 320 men, Breton-Francois de Sire C4pitaine de Frigate ; 'the other was the Atalante, sister ship, exactly of the same force ;. they sailed froin the Scheldt on the 20th of Oc tober, and , went to L'Orient, from whence they sailed aoain on the. Bth of 'January, in company with La Yade, a s.imilar \ ship, which parted from, them'in latitude 45. and longitude 16. 40. The• enemy had only three then '4itied, six wonnded, and two drowned ; the Majestic none. The Officers anti men I have the honour to command conducted themselves on this occasion as I expected they would do. - • Admiralty-Office, April 12, 1914.
