March 3, 17^1. . 1 *
I HAVE the fatisfaaion td acquaint their Lordships, that on
the last month, being about twenty leagues Weft of Cape
Finifterre, at daylight, we saw a frigate landing to the S. W.
On our not anTwering her private signals She made fail from
us ; we chaced, and at noon got along fide of her, when after
an action of fifteen minutes She ftruck,rand proved to be the
Grana, a Spanish frigate; commanded by Don Nicholas de
Medina, of 22 fix pounders, $ fours, and 166 dien, from Fer
rol, a month oil a cruize, and had not taken any thing. The
enemy had her firft Lieutenant and 6 men killed, and seventeen
wounded; oneof whom is firice dead. In iuftice to the Cap
tain and officers, I believe they did al! thht was 111 their power,
but were deserted by their people.' - *. :
1 beg leave to assure their Lordships, that the behaviour of
the officers and fhip(s company of the Cerberus, was such as
merits my utmost eiteem and recommendation. The loss the
enemy sustained in so Short an action, induces me to think,
that, had she been of greater force I should equally have the
pleasure of writing a similar letter.
The Cerberus had only two men slightly hurt.
