1 HAVE the pleasure to inform you, for the information of
my Lord 'ommiffioner# of the Admiralty, that on the wb
curr nt, UOiant bearing N. E. half L. 28 leagues, at one P. Md
I perceived the Artois, Capt. Macbride, with a signal out for
drfcovering an enemy's fl et, but at such a distance that it was
with the utmost difficulty t coilid distinguish the colour of the
flag It was then ca m, but a breeze soon fpringihg up, I made
the signal for a general chace ; the enemy at such a distance that
f could but jut discover them from the Britannia's matt-head
at th ee o'clock. At the Clofc bf the evening seven of our fhipa
had got a good distance a head of me, the Foudroyant, Capt#
Jarvis, the foremoft; and in the night, it coming to blow strong
with hazy Weather, after having loft fight of his Companions,
at 4, m ; nutes after twelve, he brought the Pegafe, o f ,4 guns,
and ,00 men, to elofe action, which co tinned three quarter#
of an hour, when the F udioyant having laid her on boa^d the
larboard quarts r, the Frenchman struck. My pen is n>t equal
to the praise that is cue to the good conduct, bravery and dit*
cipline of Capt: Jarvis, his officers, and sea nen, on this occi*
son: tahi# own modtfl narrative, which! herewith enclose#
speak foritfclf.
The next morning soon titter day-break, the wind then ag
south, blowing strong, it Ihifted in an trtart to weft, and
with such Violence, that it was with diffi ulty I could carr,
my courfe# to clear Uiha^t and get the Channel open, whih
being acednplifhed, by noun, 1 brought to, and remained fa
until the evening of the nd, to Collect the squadron.
By the amounts of the prisoners there were 18 fail, ladefe
with stores, provifon and ammunition under convoy of the
Proteßeur, of ,4, Pegafe, of 74, and Andromache of 325
together with the AdiOnaire, atwo^deck r. armec eh flue
all bound for the isle of France. Tae, left Brest the rath.
I cannot pretend to give their Lordships a pirticul .r account
of the number cf prizes taken, but mutt ^fer them to that
they may receive as they arrive in port, though i believe thee
are ten at leaf}
Proceedings of bit Majeftfsffip u dermy command from &20
Near lun set, on the 20th, f was near enough to discover
that the enemy consisted of three or four ihips of war, two
of them ar least of the line, with 17 or 18 fail u ider theircon
voy, and that the lattei diverted by signal. At his pat nine
I observed the fnWleft of the Blips of war to speak with the
headmoft and then bear aWay 4 ,At a qa irter pal ten the ftern
moft line of battle Blip, perceiving We came uo with her ver,
faft, bore Up Alfo+ I purfuad her, anl at 47 m niter after
twelve brought her toclofe action, which continued three quir#
ters 0 an hour, Whe 1, hiving lid h?r aboird in the larboar 1
quarter, the French (hip of war Le Pegale, of 74 guns, and
700 men, camminded by the Chevalier de Cillari, furrendcr

The difdpline and good conduct of the officer# and men tin.
der my Command will best appear by the state of the killed and
wounded, and of the damage futtaincd in each ship,
r^ ba T' '° i n f° rm ,y°u that only two or three people With

materially damaged in her masts and yards, the mfo^maft

It blew so strong yes eiday morrirg, that Iwtb difficirty put
men on board tht prize, but received only 40 prisoners in
