Don Francisco Mansell, Captain and Command-
ant of the Naval forces on the Malaga station, has
written to the most Serene Prince Generalissimo
Admiral, informing him that he sailed from Ma-
laga on the 19th ult. convoying a fleet of 30 small
vessels laden with naval stores for the arsenal at Ca-
dia. which had to pass by La Tunara to Algesiras,
but compelled by the enemy, he saw himself under
the necessity of anchoring in Estifrona, wkere, on
the 24th, he was attacked by three E...glish sloops
of war, which, after a brisk anion on both sides, of
five boon, were oblige) to retire much damaged,
and abandon their attempt. Capt. Mantel' extols
the courage and bravery of the Officers and men
who serve under his orders ; this being the third
convoy within the year which he has conduned to
La Tunara, in spite of the attempts of the enemy
to ()barna his passage.
Lieutenant l)oa Mantel Cord-n, Commandant of
a division of gun-boats at Carthagena, has likewise
transmitted an account to his most Serene Highness,
stating, that on the 27th ult. being in the latitude of
Monte del Cope, he perceived at a distance an ene-
my's frigate, and a sloop of war, and fearing an at-
tack, he anchored under cover of Cape del Cope, in
aline to defend 1 imself against such superior forces,
the ft izate carrying 44 guns. When the enemy were
veitl.l.. half cannon s:-.nt, they opened C;eir Ste with
tot:t bili and canister upon our gurabonts, but were
answered by these with so much briskness and pre-
cisien, that the frigate and brig, after half an hour's
fg! 6,-;r, bore away, giving over the anion. On
our Li we had no misfortune. The Commandant
applatr'.s much the zeal, valour, and good diciplitte,
which both officers and men displayed on this occa-
sion. (Mach id Gazeie.)
