" As I found it was in vain to follow them with his
Majesty's fleet in the condition they were in, and e

lone they could repair their fluttered fleet, I thought
the only chance we had of bringing them again to ac
tion, was to be off Fort Royal before them ; where
the fleet under my command now is, in daily expec
tation of their arrival. I have dispatched frigates to
windward and to leeward of every Island, to give mt
notice of their approach.
" Admiral Parker acquaints me, that several Ihips
of the enemy's van were greatly disabled, and forced
to bear away; his own ihip was damaged, and the
mainmast in great danger.
“ I cannot conclude without acquainting their
Lordflrips, that the French Admiral, who appeared
to me to be a brave and gallant officer, had the ho
nour to be noblv supported during the whole action.
“ Capt. Uvtdale, of his Majesty's ship Ajax, whole
health won't permit him to remain in this country,
and Capt. Bazely of the Pegasus, are charged with
my dispatches, and will acquaint their Lordships with
every particular they may with to know. Jnclofed I
fend a lift of killed and wounded."
