Minerva, off cape FiniVcrre, June 23, 1806. SIR, The particular part of your orders having been accomplished, by my falling in with His - Majesty's Ships Renown and Warrior on the. 2 Ist inst. I felt it my duty to dire6t my attention to the annoyance of the Enemy's trade carried on along this coast to the Ports,of Ferrol and Vigo, and having reason to believe there were some Lugger Privateers 'in Finis terre Bay, under the prote6tion of the Fort, last, night, it being calm, dispatched two boats from His Majesty's Ship under my command to scour the Bay. From among the Volunteers for this service, it fell to the lot of Lieutenant Mulcaster, First Lieu tenant, accompanied by Lieutenant Menzies, of the Royal Marines, to command the Cutter; the .Barge was dirk:led by Lieutenant Ogle Moore. This forenoon I had the satisfaction to see the Boats returning, acconapanied by five Spanish Lug ger; and Chasse Marees, as per margin *, mostly laden with wine, bound to Ferrol and Corunna. Lieutenant Mulcaster speaks very handsomely of the support he received from the Officers and Petty Sea men and Marines employed on this affair. I 'feel I should be deficient iti my duty did I omit to state the circumstances attending the execution of this service, so creditable to Lieutenant Mulcaster and his companions. • The first objea was the Fort, mounting eight brasS guns, of twenty-four' and twelve pounders, which commanded the Vessels. This was carried in a most neat and masterly manner by the bayonet and pike, before the Guard had either time to raise the drawbridge, or discharge a twelve- pOunder,which had been brought to face the gate (a 'Fishing-boat having apprized them of the approach of ourßoats); part of the Spanish Guard laid down their Arms, and are now on board ; the rest escaped. As the day began to dawn, and as the men were much harrassed from a long row to the shore, and a fatiguing march over a heavy sand,. the party weto obliged to confine themselves to spiking the guns, and throwing some of them into the,sea, e'er they took posSession of the Vessels., . . Tbe. circumstance from which I derive most plea sure is, that this service was executed without a Man, being hUrt,.on either side, although the Boats in their return, during a calm of near three hours, were exposed to the dire of a two-gun battery from a hill to the southward of the town. I have the Honouur to be, B,:e. GEORGE.
