CLEMENT IDDLE, M rfh 1.
Philadelphia, FCnuu 26, 1782
The following account of the late naval engage
ment in the Weft Indies, is taken from an Antigua
paper of the 29th pit.
We are ill without any dire^ account from the Eng
lish fleet and should consequently have continued in a
state of very anxious iiquiatude, if some advices from
Montserrat, which cam. t hand yesterday evening, nad
not held out to us tie flattering hope, that fir Samuel
Hood had not only effected his pufpofe, by getting into
the road of Beffetterre at St. Coridopher's, but also that
the flip supposed to have blown up after tide late partial
engagement between the fleets, was one of the enemy's,
The following is an extrad of a letter dated at Montser
rat on Saturday the 26th infl 4 o'clock, P. M. from
which we think the firft of these faffs appears clearly
eftabifhad, and the ot : tr very fairly deducib e.
“ We were made happy on Monday last by the ap
cc pearance of fir S muel Hood'' fleet off ntigua.
“ Thursday at noon they were off the Point off Nevis.
" Yesterday morning we saw them in th N, W. about
" five leagues diflant, lying with tleir beads to the N.
“ The whole French stet were then about two leagues
“ to leeward of them,handing to the south undera good
" deal of failfeemiugly intending to come into fir Sim
« uel's wake. At this time w< though; a general en
'' gagement inevitable. About noon the French fleet,
" being c< nfiderably to the fouthwird, began to tack
< c and as soon as they had all put a out, the English
<< fleet set all fail, and tifhed in for Nevis Point. The
" French followed hem about 2 o'clock be v^n of
" fir Samuel's fl et reached the point, and an engage
< c ment then began between the van of toe enemy and
" about 7 fail of our rear Thefiring was very brisk,
“ and continued about two hours and a half. One of
<' our grips loft her main top-fail yard early, but kept
CT her course. The fighting continued a confi^raWe
" time after both fleets had got within Nevis Point, and
" out of our view. Before fun-fefthe French fleet put
" about and re-appeared off the point, fir Samuel,
<c we doubt not, had accomplished ids plan, and pro
" ceeded to St. Kitt* witl out further interruption.
" After the engagement we saw a ship much disabled
“ getting into Nevis, and about 7 o'clock a very gre it
<< fire was seen, which was supposed to be occaii oned
" b, the blowing up of a ship. I saw the French fleet
" at nine o'clock this morning, going down, round
« Nevis Point
“ Mr. — , who was taken in a Danish vessel by
“ the French fleet in their way town, and detained till
<< Tuesday last at St. Kitt's, brought a letter from
" c>unr de Graffe to our governor, recommending a
< surrender of the island :Itis d ted the 22d inst. We
“ wish the admiral to be informed o, this circumstance
" as soon as possible as perhaps, if obliged to aban
" don St. Kitt's, t? ey may make f me attempt upon
" us, merely for the fake of preventing the expediti
“ on from being entirely fruitlefs,
“ The ship ridge failed f r Liverpool on the 12th
,< instant, just after we h d received an account of the
" landing of the enemy at St. Kitt's,
“ Since the f reaping, a_l rge French frigate came
" round Braufby' point and stood in for the road As
“ fne (hewed no colours the fort fired at her, and she
4< went off to the southward"
Another letter fays, T atfir Samuel's manoeuvres
were maflerly md id him the greatest honour; that
the engagpmeci co n, i>ed t.t.vo, and la ed until
four, our center and rear being opp >fed to their van
and center th t fir Samuil '^K the most favourable
opportunity f rengag ing them for th ir rear, which
was compof dos 9, ieemmg : y of their most capital
ships, did not g t .cto adion or an hourand 17 mi
