Capt. Fairfax, of the Venerable, arrived
tly this morning with dispatches from
dam Duagcan, Esq. Admiral of the Blue,
nd Commander in Chief of his Majefly’s
ips, &c. employed in the North Sea to
van Nepean, Esq. Secretary of the Ad
iralty, of which the following are copies.
Venerable, at sea, 13th Ocicher,’97 off
the coafl of Holland.
SIR, :
BE pleased to acquaint the Lords Com
missioners of the Admiralty, that, judging
ie of consequence their Lordthips thould
have as early n#ormation as possible of the
defeat of the Dutch fleet under the com
mand of Admiral De Winter, I dispatched
the Rose Cuiter at g, P. M. on the 12th
oft. after a {hort letter to you immediately
fter the aftion was ended. I have now
urther to acquaint you, for their Lord(hips
nformation, that in the night of the 10th
aft. afier 1 had sent away my letter to you
that date, 1 placed my squadron in such
tuation gs to prevent the enemy from re
urning to the Texel without my falling in
ith them.—At nine o’clock in the morn
ng of the 11th I gat fight of Capt. Trol
ope’s {quadron, with Ggnals flying for an
nemy to leeward ; I immed:ately bore up,
n‘oon got fight of them, forming 1n a
ngamade the signal for 2 general chace,
lind the.larboard tack to receive us, the
in¥ at N: W.—As we - approached near
I made the signal for the {quadron to thor
ten fail, in order to connett them ; soon
after, 1 [aw the land bétween Camperdown
and Egmont, about g miles to leeward of
the enemy, and finding theie was no time
to be lolt in making the attack, I made the
pignal to bear up, break the enemy’s line
nd engage them to lesward, each thip her
pponent, by which I got between them
nd the land, whither they were faft ap
‘r)roaching. My signals were «beyed with
great promptitude, and: Vice "Ad. Onflow,
a 0 the Monarch bore down on the enemy’s
r in the most gallant manrer, his division
owing his example, and the aftion com
nced about forty minutes palt twelve
lock. The Venerable soon got through
e enemy’s line, and 1 began a close ac
ou, with my division on their van, which
fled near two hours and a half, when I
bierved all the mafis of the Dutch Admi-
I’s ship go by the board ; she was, how
ver detended for some time in a most gal
ant manner ; but being overprelled by num-.
bers, her colours were struck, and Admiral
De Winter was soon brought on board the
Venerable. On looking around me I ob
served the ship bearing the Vice-Admiral’s
Flag was alio difmafted, and had surrender
ed &Vicc-Admira] Onflow ; a..d that ma
ny otwers had likewise struck.
finding we were in mine fathoms water,
afd not farther tham five miles from the
land, my attention was {o much taken up
an getting the heads of the disabled ships off
shore, that I was not able to distinguish the
number of ships captured ; and the wind
having been conflantly on the land since,,
we have unavoidably been much dispersed,
so that I have not been able tn gain an exat
account of them,but we have taken pofleflion
of eight or nine ; more of them had struck,
but taking 2dvantage of the night,ard being
so near their own coast, they succeeded in
getting off, and some of them were fcen
going ioto the Texel the next morning.
It 1s with the greatest pleasure and fatis
fatbon I make known to their Lordships the
very gallant behaviour of Vice Admiral
Qvollow, the Captains, Officers, Seamen &
Maines of-the Squadron, who all appeared
a&%xcd with* the truly British {pirit, at lealt
thok that I had an opportunity of fecing.
Cne of the €nemy’s ships caught fire in
theallion, and drove very near the Vener
tingiﬂxcd, and she 15 one of the fhipsin
ablq but I have plealure to fay it was ex
ourgoﬂc{ﬁon. The squadron has fuftered
mu¢h in their mafls, yards, and rigging,
and many of them have loft 2 number q}
Fen ; however, in no proportion to that
@ the enemy. The carnage on hoard the
Mg thips that bore the Admirals flags has
en beyond all delcription ; they have
§ no less than 250 men killed and wound-/
¢d pn board of each ship ; and here I have
to lament the loss of Capt. Burgess, of his
Mijelty’s ship the Ardent, who, brooght
™ht thip into altion in the molt gallant and
maflerly manper, but was unfortanately kil
led soon after. However, the ship costi
nuéd the a&ion close, until” quite disabled.
“The public have Joft a good and gallant
Og‘cer in Capt. Burgels, and I, with oubers,
a sincere friend. 3y |

Extraél of a letter from an officer on board
s Majefly’s ship Belliqueux.
‘¢ Yarmoutk-Roads, Oé. 16, 1797.
“¢On the gth we left Yarmouth-Roads,
our fleet consisting of 14 fail of the line, 1
frigate, and 1 sloop ; Admiral Duncan hav
ing received information that the Dutch
were at {ea, and was willing to pay his re
fpe@ls to them as speedily as possible.
¢ ¢On Wednesday the 11th, by half past
seven in the morning, the Russell, Ada
mant and Beaulien joined us, and made the
signal for the enemy’s fleet to leeward, con
sisting of 16 fail of the line, two frigates and
three brigs. Our force now was sixteen
fail, two frigates, and one sloop. At nine
o’clock, the Admiral made the signal to
prepare for battle ;at half past nine, saw
the enemy’s fleet in the S. I:!.’ quarter, ly
ing in a dire€t line of battle, with their
‘Rarboard tack on board ; ar half past ten,
the Ad. made the signal to heave too and
reef top-fails. The Dutch fleet distant two
t miles made f{ail ;at half past eleven, the
Ad. made the signal to form the line of bat
tle, and to attack and break the enemy’s
line in fucceflion, P. M.—The aftion be
came general with our rear and their van ;
by halt past twelve the aétion was general
with both fleets ; by one, every ship had
brpken the enemy’s line, and had got be
tween them and the land, in order to' cut
them off from getting. into the Texel, the
land being then distant about seven miles.
‘We had now fufficient exercise ; and by
‘half past two, a large two decker struck to
our ship, we having at the fame time a
Dutch Admiral on our larboard quarter, a
nother thip on our flarboard quarter, and a
heavy {bip on our larboard bow. At this
time the Isis and Powerful came and took
the fire of one of the ships from us, and
gave us three cheers. At thirty five mi
nutes after, the thip on our larboard quar.
ter sheered off ; at three P. M. the IhiP on
our 20\\0 ﬁlch”?ang#adc fail, and flood from
us. " During this space of two hours, we
“bad supported a most tremendous fire from
the enemy, and.l believe had repaid them
with interest. At ten mioutes x%aa three,
_ wore ship and bore down on the Dutch
- Admiral %ldi‘s. commanding the rear divi
sion, which immediately firuck to us,hailed
us, and desired us to fend a boat on board
of her, and rake poffeflion. We weie so .
~much disabled, that we could not Fet a boat
~out ; but she droppéd‘a flern of us. At
" balf palt threc the altion ceased, our fleet
" being to-windward with the prizes taken,
.and our ship, with the &,ngw prizes, close ]‘

take their’s ; at the fame time the Mon
tague and Veteran, who appeared to have
enough to prevent them. At four, they
beataretreat. All hands were now employed
in kootting, splicing, and repairing the
[ damages fuffered during the aétion, having
_ neither brace, bowling, or ilt-hole, or very
~ little of the standing rigging ; our sore-mass,
-bowsprit, main and cross jack-yard, were
besides materially injured.— At 8, a frigate
- bore down and coauvoyed our prizes into
~the fleet ; at nine, called the starboard
~ watch oo deck, the watch below to {leep at
! their quarters. It being a fine night, we
; discerned the enemy’s fleet bearing E. S, E,
~ distant 4 miles.
| ()ur%lcct at this time bearing N. N. ",
~ distant three miles. The watch on deck
~employed knotting, splicing, and clapping
- fith on the foremalt. A. M. got down the
cross jackyard and rigged a sore-topsail-yard
in its liea ; at fix called all hands to master,
found we had 23 mea killed and 25 wound
ed, and many others slightly ;- quarter past
6, the Veteran bore down and hailed us
said she was sent by rthe Admiral to know if
we want~d her affitance. Our noble Cap
tain’s answer was, we wanted no help, and
that we should be ready for aétion as soon
as we had bent 2 new set of fails, the old
ones being shot into mere ribbands. Saw
the remainder of the Dutch fleet close in
with the land, in a very disabled condition.
Prelently after a favorable breeze sprung
up, and they got into the Texel. From
this time to noomn, all hands employed as
neceflary ; half past, called all hands to
bury the dead. The Purser read the fune
ral service, over 1 Lieutenant, 1 Midship
man,& g brother tars(the otherskilled being
thrown overboard 1n the aftion) who were
immediately launched into the deep—tears
{treaming from all eyes. From 12 to g 4,
benta new set of fails,and tacked ship to get
into our fleet. Many old tars on board who
have been in several engagements, fay they
never weathered one more dreadful ; two
ships of superior force hauled down their
saucy colors to the Belliqueux. Admiral
Duncan could not do more with so large 2
fleet, and {o near the enemy’s shore, and
wind in ;if they had been some leagues at
sea, very few would have got into the Texel
again,” —_—
LONDON, O¢ober 17.
Upon the arrival, on Friday morn
ing, of the welcome tidings of Ad.
Duncan’s victory, every bosom was
animated with joy, and every eye
sparkled with gladness ; the Park and
- Tower guns were fired, the bells were
{et a ringing, the Royal Standard was
displayed, the vessels in the river ex
hibited their streamers, and various
-demonstrations of joy took place in
' the course of the day. At night there
was a partial illumination.—The Ad
miralty, most of the Public Offices,
.the Theatres, Subscription Houses,
the residences of the Cabinet Minif
ters,and those of the most distinguish
ed of the Nobility, made a brilliant
display on the occasion. Saturday
night the illuminations and rejoicings
were very general, particularly at the
Weft end of the town, and fire-works
were displayed in féveral parts.
The full and official confirmation
of the glorious intelligence yesterday
produced an effet upon the public
mind, as lively as if the news of a
fiew vi¢tory had arrived. +An almost
general illumination. took place in the
evening throughout the whole town,
and even the most distant suburbs.
The lights were as abundant as after
Lord Howe’s victory.
Admiral Duncan anchored with
some of his thips and prizes off Or
fordnefs on Sunday last, and they
were expected to reach Hollefley Bay
last night. Several of the thips had
not arrived, from having the Dutch
prizes to tow home.—From these
veflels, fix in number, the Ruflel,
Direé&tor, Montague, Veteran, Mon
mouth, and Adamant, no return
has becn made. - The total amount
of the killed and wounded on board
the ships from which a return hasbeen
made, is 751.
The number of ships captured are
nine of the line, including those of 56,
besides two frigates, one of 44 and the
other of 32 guns. A brigyand a
{chooner Wereg funk in the a%“ \
It is reported that the De f‘;':} a&f 6
guns, one of the ships taken, had funk

| are saved. | ,
i In addition te the captured ships
' enumerated in the Gazette, Admiral
’ Duncan mentions, that another thip
was reported to'be taken, the name
. of which was unknown.—This vessel,
there was reason to suppose, was in
the pofleflion of the Russel, Captain
' Trollope, which ship, together with
-the Monmouth, separated from Adm.
i Duncan in the night after the a&ion.
'~ Admiral Duncan states, in his 2d
- letter, that the Endymion had, in the
l course of the night, fallen in with a
} Dutchi thip of the line off the Texel,
and had engaged her, but that he had
| sl : |
not heard the particulars. The en
‘gagement took place in thé night ;
nd we learn, that owing t(gﬁe' hea
%y fire of the enemy, the Endymion
was obli‘%d to desist from the contest,
¥g‘d the Dutchman escaped into the

It was yéferday reported in the

{ ships had been taken. .Of this’ cir
* cumftance, however, no account had

most gragioufly expressed his intention -

fleet with a visit on their arrival at the

The London Gazette of last night
contains the creation of Admiral Du
ncan a Viscount of Great-Britain, by
the title of Viscount Duncan of Cam
perdown ~ad of Lundie, in the shire
of Perth ; and the creation of Vice-
Admiral Richard Onflow a Baronnet
of Great-Britain. The remainder of
each of these dignities is limited to
the heirs male otg their bodies respec
tively. We rejoice at the prompti
tude with which reward thus follows ‘
such high and diftinguithed desert.
A {ubfcription was opened yesterday
at Lloyd’s Coffee-houfe, for the wi
dows and orphans of those who loft
their lives in the late adtion, and up
wards of 600 guineas subscribed in
two hours 3 which, before evening,
was increased to 1000. _
Admiral Kingfmill is arrived in
London,to consult with the Board of
Admiralty on the neceflary distribu
tion of thips on the Irith station du
ring the ensuing winter.
It is remarkable, that the 2 most
brilliant naval vitories th's war have
been gained, the one by Lord Howe,
an Englishman, the other by Lord
St. Vincent, an Irishman, and the
third by Adm. Duncan, a Scotch
man. And what makes it still more
remarkable is, that these gallant offi
cers have each beaten the enemy to
which, relatively, their nations are
nearest.—England is nearer France
than either Scotland or Ireland ; Ire
land is nearer to Spain than either
England or Scotland ; and Holland
is nearer Scotland than any other of
our enemies ?
Both Republican Liberty & Equali
ty have been obliged to knock under
to the superior bravery of Britilh
Tars.
The Dutch Admiral De Winter’s
ship is funk in Hofeley Bay.
The Dutch Adm. De Winter be
haved very gallantly ; he fought un
til on one fide he had but fix guns
that he could fire ; his Captain had
both his thighs shot off, and died on
Sunday morning. :

On Saturday last a plot was dis

SALEM, Dec. 14.
The internal affairs of the Britith
Empire seem, by late accounts, to as
sume an appearance every day more
alarming and dangerous. In En
gland Itfelf the people seem to lose
that affe®ion for their native country,
which is common to all men, and for
- which Englishmen particularly have
been remarkable. A society is said
to be formed expressly for the pur
pose ‘of emigration to America, in
order to found a new colony on the
Western ' Continent. The intended
emigrants are chiefly of the middling
class, the none are excepted, and their
numbers are said to be very great.
There is a weekly subscription for the
purpose ; and when a certain {fum
has been colle¢ted, it is to be deposi
ted in the American funds. The
reason given by them for entering in
.to 'this scheme are, the oppreflions
they fuffer in their own country, the
small probability of any alteration,
and the dread of the convulsion which
must attend the change. i
