1506.

Yesterday afternorm,;ifour o'clock, four ships
hove in sight, two from the northward, and two
from the southward: Et six o'clock, they were
within gun-shot of each other, and a quarter before
seven a very close and spirited • anion commenced ;
tie cannonade, which was heavy and incessant,
continUed, till halt-past seven o'clock, when it
c eaked.
During the aftion, the four ships were close to-
gether in a N.W. direction from Quilon Fort, but
at too great distance for their colones to be distin-
' goished ; so that it was not possible to ascertain
what ships they were, though it is conjeCtured one
of them was the French frigate La Pudatoataite:
shetas for zome'time been enticing off this part of
the coast, during which time she has plundered
above 9.Q Arab ships, of specie to an enormous
amount; and has driven one Arab on chore, which
had upwards of a lac of dollars na board.
