Copy °f• '"ter from L^j Nelson, t. Evan Nc
ocen, Esq. dotA on board the M^rfa of Bou
logne, Ang. 16, I^ol.
SIR,
Having judged it proper to at
tempt bringing off the enemy's
Flotilla, moored in the front of Boulog
ne, I directed the attack to be made by
four divisions of boats for boarding,
under tbcKommand of Captains Som
erville, Cotgrave and Parker ; and a
division of howitzer boats under Capt.
Conn. The boats put off from the
Medusa at half past eleven o'clock last
night, in the best possible order-and be
fore one o'clock this morning the firing
began, and I had, from the judgment
of the officers, and the zeal and gallan
try of every man, the most perfe con
fidence of complete success, but the
darkness of the night, with the tide and
half tide, separated the Divisions, and
from all not arriving at the fame hap
py moment with captain Parker, is to
be attributed the failure of success; and
I beg to be perfe&ly understood that,
not the smallest blame attaches itfelf to
an, person ; for although the division
did not arrive together, yet each (ex
cept the fourth division, which could
not be got up before day) made a fuc
cefsful attack on that part of the ene
my they fell in with, and adually took
possession of many brigs and flats, and
cut their cables, but many of them be
ing aground & the moment of the bat
tle's ceasing on board them, the vessels
were filled with vollies upon vollies of
musketry, the enemy being perfectly
regardless of their own men, who must
have fuffered equally with us, it was
therefore impossible to remain on board
even to burn them ; but allow "me to
fay, who have seen much service this
war, that more determined, persever
ing courage I never witnessed, and that
nothing but the impoflibility of being
fuccefsful, from the causes I have
mentioned, could have prevented me
from having to congratulate their lord
ships ; but although in value the loss
of such gallant and good men is incal
culable, yet, in point of numbers, it
has fallen short of my expectations. I
must also beg leave to state, that great
er zeal and ardent desire to distinguish
themselves by an attack on the enemy
was never shewn than by all the cap
tains, officers, and crews of all the dif
ferent descriptions of vessels under my
command.
The commanders of the Hunter and
Greyhound, revenue cutters; went in
their boats in the most handsome and
gallant manner to the attack. Amongst
the many brave men wounded, I have
with the deepest regret to place the
name of my gallant good friend and a
ble assistant Capt. Edward T. Parker ;
also my Flag Lieutenant, Frederick,
Langford, who has served with me ma
ny years ? they were both wounded in
attempting to board the French Com
modore. To capt. Gore, of the Medu
sa, I feel the highest obligations ; and
when their Lordships look at the loss of
the Medusa on this occasion, they will
agree with me, that the honour of my
Flag, and the cause of their King and
Country, could never have been placed
in more gallant hands. Capt. Bed
ford of the Leydea, with Capt. Gore,
very handsomely volunteered their
services to serve under a mailer and
commander: but I did not think it
fair to the latter, and I only mention it
to mark the zeal of those officers. From
the nature of the attack only a few pris
oners were made ; a lieutenant, 8 sea
men, and 8 soldiers, are all they
brought off. Herewith I fend the re
ports of the several commanders of
divisions, and a return of killed and
wounded.
P. S. Capt. Somerville was the se
nior master and commodore employed.

firft division of boats which you did n.e
the honor to place under my commands
for the purpose of attacking the ene
my's flotilla, in the Bay of Boulogne
I beg leave to acquaint you, that after
leaving the Medusa last night, I found
myfelf, on getting on shore, carried
considerably by the rapidity of the tiL,
to the caftward of the above-mention,
ed place ; and finding that I was not
likely to reach it in the order prescrib
ed, I gave directions for the boats to
call each other off. By so doing, I was
enabled to get to the enemy's flotilla a
little before the dawn of day, and i m
the best order possible attacked, clofc
to the dier head, a brig, which after a
sharp contest, I carried, Previous to 10
doing, her cables were cut ; but I was
prevented from towing her out by her
being secured with a Chain, and in con
sequence of a very heavy fire of Muske
try and grape ihot that was directed
at us from the shore, three luggers and
another brig within half pittol-fhot ;
and not feeing the lead profped of be
ing able to get her off, i was obliged
to abandon her and push out of the
Bay, as it was then completely day
light. P. SOMERVILLE.
MeduJa, off Boulogne,
MY LORD, AUG. 16, lhl.
Mr. Williams led his subdivision up
to the Enemy with the most intrepid
gallantry, took one lugger, and attack
ed a brig, while his crew, I am con
cerned to fay, fuffered equally with
ourselves, nearly the whole of his boat's
crew were either killed or wounded ;
Lieut. Pelly, who commanded the Me
dusa's launch, and the Hon. Mr. Mait
land, midihipman,were severely wound
ed ; and Mr. Wm. Briftow, matter's
mate, in the Medusa's Cutter, under
Lieut, Stewart, was killed.
EDWARD T. PARKER.
Lord Nelson.
Agreeable to your Lordship's In
ftrudions, I proceeded with the second
division of the boats under my direc
tion (the half of which were under the
direction of Lieut. William senior of
the Medusa,) to attack the part of the
enemy's Flotilla, appointed for me, and
at haff past twelve had the good for
tune to find myfelf close to them, when
I ordered Lieut. Williams, with his
subdivision, to push on to attack the
vessels to the northward of me, while
I, with the others, ran along fide a
large brig off the NJole head, wearing
the Commodore's pendant. It is at
this moment I feel myfelf at a loss for
words to do justice to the Officers and
Crew of the Medusa, who were in the
boat with me, and to Lieut. Langford,
the Officers and Crew of the fame Ship,
who nobly seconded us in the barge,
until all her Crew were killed or
wounded; and to the Hon. Mr. Cath
cart, who commanded the Medusa's
Cutter, and sustained the attack with
the greatest intrepidity, until the despe
rate situation I was left in obliged me
to call him to the assistance of the fuf
ferers in my boat.
The boat was no sooner along fide
than we attempted to board; but a
very strong netting, traced up to her
lower yards, baffled all our endeavours,
and an instantaneous discharge of her
guns and small arms, from about two
hundred Soldiers on her gunwale,
knocked myfelf, Mr. Kirby, the mas
ter of the Medusa, and Mr. Gore, a
midshipman, with two thirds of the
Crew, upon our hacks into the boat,
all either killed or wounded desperate
ly, the barge and cutter being on the
outside, sheered off with the tide, but
the Flat Boat in which I was hung
alongside, and as there was not an Of
ficer or man left to govern her, mud
have fallen into the hands of the enemy,
had not Mr. Cathcart taken her in tow,
and carried her off.
MY LORD, Gau<t, Aug. iu, xßoi. #
On the night of the 15 inst. the third
division of boats, which I had the hon
or to command, assembled on board
His Majesty's flip York, agreeable to
your Lordship's directions and at ele
ven P. M. by signal from the Medusa,
After the complete arrangement
which was made, the perfed good
derftanding and regularity with whicn
the boats you did me the honor to put
under my command left the Medusa,
I have an anxious feeling to explain to
your Lordihip the failure of our enter
prise, that on its outset ppomifed every
success.
