SIR, I beg leave to acquaint you, that I continued in pursuit of four of the Enemy's Frigates the tight of the 27th instant ; although I'lost sight of them, as also of the Squadron under your command, soon.after it was dark, except the Atrica, which we saw until about eleven o'clock; on the lee-quarter, when 'she was observed to burn some false fires. 'We steered , about point free the whole night, with a light in the stern, standing to the Southward, and carried a press of sail ; I was induced so to do from observing' the course the Enerny'S Squadron was steering when first seen, and judging that it would increase their diffi-• culty of getting to leeward of `us it had that effeet most fully, for - at daylight yesterday Morning they . ' were discovered precisely on the same bearing as on the previous evening, though at, a greater distance, except,their sternmost Ship, which we appeared to be gaining op ; this induced the French Commodore . to tack with his three head-most Ships, and join :her, and formed in Line of Battle on the larboard tack, .1 thought, and hoped, with a d e t erm i nat i on to try the - fortune of war, which was what every one on board the Mars most anxiously wished; but after making some signals, - about three in the after noon he made off with three Frigates, the other continued her course under an extraordinary preSs Of sail, and finding that she was the only one we had gained on during a cline of one hundred and fifty miles,. and the day far spent, I still kept after her till six o'clock, when in the midst of a violent squall of wind and hail we were ranging upon her lee-quarter ; after the first shot she struck her lours, just at the moment our broadside was about to open on her. She proved to be Le Rhin, a very tine French Frigate of forty-four guns, eighteen pounders on the main deck, and three hundred and 'eighteen men ; only fOur years old, commanded by Captain Chesneau; the Squadron was commanded by Monsieur Lamarre Lameillerie, in the Hortense, - with the Hermione . and Themis Frigates, on : their, return from Portd Rico. Soon after theitliin 'had . surrendered, on the squall clearing away; the other three Frigates were seen standing to the South East ; • and I regret that the weather, which has yet-:p re- Vented our removing more than one-third of the Prisoners, made it iinpraaicable for me to pursne them further. I cannot conclude without express ing my admiration of the conduct of every Officer ;And Man in this Ship during a chace of twenty-four hours, against so superior a force, with, very bad '. 'weather, and incessant rain .;.several of our 'sails were split, and replaced with alacrity'; and, in.shOrt, Lad the remainder of the French. Squadron waited our approach, from the great zeal: manifested by every person on hoard, I have no doubt but our ef forts would have been crowned with complete suc cess in their destru&ion. .
