THE
GAZETTE.
to WEDNESDAY, April ii, 1781.
Extras of a Letter from Capt. Charles-Holmes Everitt,
of his Majefty'sJhip Solebay, to Mr. Stephens, dated at Spit-,
head, December 11, 1780.
" RE pleased to acquaint their Lordships, that I failed the
9th instant, in the morning, from Spithead, and pro
ceeded in company with Capt. Lloyd, of his Majesty's ship the
Portland, in pursuance of the orders received from Admiral Sir
Thomas Pye, and in the evening, about fix, p. m. being then to
the southward of the weft part of the lile of Wight, fell in with
two French privateers, which immediately engaged the Sole
bay, being the foremaft ship, but the Portland coming up, they
hauled their wind, and endeavoured to escape. The Portland
thereupon passed me, and one of the enemy, into whom ihe
poured several broadsides, and followed the headmoft. I kept
close in pursuit of the other, who held a running fight for three
hours ; when, being much disabled in her fails and rigging,
flie struck, and proves to be Le Comtefle Befangois, of twenty
12 pounders, and 143 men, from Havre de Grace, which place
she left the morning before. Her loss in the action is 12 men
killed, and 15 wounded. The Solebay has only one seaman
materially wounded, and two very slightly ; but she has fuf
fered in her rigging nnd masts.
" The Portland purfyed the chafe in the night out of fight
and hearing, but the next morning joined company again, and
I had the pleasure to find that Capt. Lloyd had been fuccefs
ful, having captured the consort of La Comtefle Befangoir,
with the loss of 2 men killed, and 7 wounded. The privateer
is called Le Marquis de Seignelaw, Francois Cottin, com
mander, of twenty 9 pounders, and 150 men ; the failed in
company with the other from Havre de Grace ; the loss she
sustained by the Portland was 2 killed, and 2 wounded. The
officers and companies of each ship behaved as usual, like
Englishmen.
" I gave chace yesterday morning to two cutters and a brig,
which proved the Griffin and Rambler, and the latter the
Eagle, a recapture of theirs.
" I arrived this day with the Portland and the two prizes ;
likewise the two cutters with their brig."
Admiralty-Office, December 13, 1780.
Extract of a Letter from Capt. Pigot, of the safon, to Tire-Ad
miral Parker, dated Plymouth- Sound, Dec. 11, 1780.
“ Yesterday morning the Deadman bearing N. N. E. I dis
covered a vessel in shore, which I supposed to be an enemy,
and immediately gave chace, and coming up with her she hoist
ed French colours ; I then fired two shot, brought her too,
and soon took possession of her. She proved to be a privateer
brig, belonging to St. Maloes, called Le Duc de Montimart,
mounting 16 four pounders, with 71 men on board."
London, Dec. 14. The Pandora, appointed to convoy the
homeward-bound Quebeck fleet, is arrived alone, and brings
advice, that the fleet was dispersed in a gale of wind, in the
mouth of the river St. Lawrence. The fleet, when the Pan
dora was separated from it, consisted of thirty fail.
The death of the Empress Queen may strangely change the
face of sublunary things. Should the Emperor, who, it is said,
is possessed of spirit and abilities equal 0 the importance of
his situation, think of disputing some matters with his Prus
sian Majesty, it will in all probability, bring on a general war
throughout the German dominions.
Admiralty-Office, December 15, 1780.
Extract of a letter from Captain M'Bride, of his Majesty's
ship the Bienfaifant, to Philip Stephens, Esq; Secretary to
the Admiralty, dated Cork, the loth of November, 1780.
“ On the Bth instant, being in lat. 50. N. and lon. 30. w.
I fell in with, and took the Comteffe d'Artois, a privateer of
17 guns, and 110 men, belonging to Dunkirk, out 7 days,
and had only taken one brig, (the day before) laden with
herrings, which was sent to France."
The name of D'Artois has been, of all others, the most fa
tal to the French navy. This is the second taken by Captain
M'Bride ; another was captured by the JEolus, and a fourth
by the Shrewsbury man of war.
London, Dec. 19. Yesterday meaning some dispatches were
received from Gibraltar, which were brought over in the Mary
armed ship, arrived at Falmouth, by which we are informed,
that every thing remained quiet, and that the garrison was
well supplied with all kinds of provisions.
Plymouth, December 21. In the course of this week was
sent in here by the Defiance privateer, of Jersey, the Ulalie,
from Bourdeaux for Brest, laden with wine.
Also a French brig privateer, amounting 18 fix pounders,
and 140 men, taken by his Majesty's ship Monsieur.
The Spphia Elizabeth, a Swedish vessel, bound to Brest,
laden with hemp, pitch, and tar, is also taken and sent in here
by the above frigate.
Last Saturday night his Majesty's ship Foudroyant arrived
here from the grand fleet; and on Sunday the fleet passed by
this port, on its way to Spithead; they were seen off Portland
on Monday by a fleet of transports, &c. under convoy of a
frigate, which came in here yesterday. It was reported, but
we believe without any just foundation, that the homeward
bound East-India ships were under their convoy.
His Majesty's ship Princess Amelia came in here yesterday.
The Hero is appointed to convoy the trade from hence to
Portsmouth, and join the Carlos, Medway and Renown, all
copper-bottomed, who are to convoy the outward bound
East-India fleet.
