Official Account of Admiral
de Wintkr'j Defeat.
MAGUS, OCT. 13.
A T the fitting ©! thia day, the
41 committee of marine co&
muoicated a letter addressed 10
them by Vice-Admiral de Win
ter, written yesterday, on board
the British Admiral Duncan, and
received at id o'clock thia morn
ing by exprefi. Os this affe&iog
letter, the following is a summary
—it caused the liveliest feafacioni
of grief among the members of
the assembly.
"It it with the deepest regret
that I addrefimfl, she prefcat
dripafch. Wmaay morning at
1 i o'clock we discovered the Eng
lish, We ranged in order of. bat
tle. Imade the signal for form
ing the line as compact at possible,
which however was very imper
feftly obeyed.
“ At it o'clock the enemy
attacked the extremity of our line.
They soon undertook to force it.
The action became general, and
I found myfetf engaged with three
of their (hips. The Hereto
took fire, and driving toward!
mine, I was under the oeceffity of
changing my position to avoid
her, which obliged me to ap
proach a fourth of the enemy's
vefleh, that of the Admiral. I
ver, soon loft all my rigging, and
it became impracticable to cootin"
ue my fignah. Meanwhile the
enemy took possession of the Waft
fenaar, Harlem, Frifo, Delft and
Jupiter.
" The fmoak prevented me
from ftri&ly observing the state
pt our affairs. The adion was
one of the brilkeft I have witness
ed. After losing a confideable
part Os my cre„, 1 endeavoured
by a vigorous push, to force the
five English lhi„ which surround
ed me, and to gain the c@aft, or
join the remains of m, fleet. At
^o'clock all three of my mafti
went by the board. After this
Icontinued fighting ball an hour,
when my lag wai carried away,
and the crew, reduced to half its
number, ceased to fire. At 3 I
waa boarded byao gnglifhl,rig
ate, and conducted on board Ad
miral Duncan. The Egality wn
not far from me—l observed her
to cede firing, bating loft all her
rigging. Why fr, at .well as
the Friffar, Drift, and Harlem
struck, I cannot determine. The
Hercules was obliged to cut away
her mifti—the was on Etc, but
it was put out —(be, however,
drove into the British fleet, and
was taken.
"I am perfectly fati<fied with
mv officers and crew, the, fought
with infinite tatyy, as did alia
the enemy. -The Mos men on
both tides has been very geest
" The British fleet which had
put into Yarmouth, fa fail'again
immediately on receiving news
that we were at fee. It was joined
by federal vessels from Portimouth
and the Downs. Their force con
sisting of fixteeo (hips of the line,
principally 74's.
' " This is the most unhappy ~
day of my life—all our best ma
caeavres, and all our courage were
fiuitiefi. The enemy esteem os
on account of our vigorous refift-'
ance. No sAion could have been
more desperate and bloody.
, I flhall do myfelf the honor
of traafmitting you a more accu
rate detail by the next opportuni
ty. I now only avail myfelf of
the permission granted b, Admr ^
ral Duncan, to forward this fetch.
