from us. I have the honour of informing you she
was captured after a chase of two hours, and proves
His Catholic Majesty's picket El Galgo, command-
ed by Lieutenant Ignacio Guosquez, with thirty
men ; pierced for fourteen guns, but only four bass
swivels mounted. She is a very fine vessel, copper-
ed, and copper fastened, well found, and sails fast ;
left Cadiz on the 9th of August, had delivered dis-
patches at Canaan*, and was bound, with others, to
Trinidad de Cuba and Vera Cruz, which were
thrown overboard. I have, &c.

informing me of the boats of that ship having cap•

Herewith von will receive, for the information
of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the
cony of a letter I have received from Captain
Wright, of the Swift, enclosing a letter from Lieut.
Smith, of that sloop, acquainting him with the suc-
cess of an enterprise conducted with great bravery,
which reflects great credit to the party engaged in
it, particularly to Mr. Bowler, who has sot been
two years at sea. I am, &c.

Sic—ln consequence of information I received
while on my station at Honduras, that a schooner
guards costa had taken several vessels trading to
that settlement, and if not captured, was likely to
do much more mischief ; I was determined to de-
tach Mr. James South, Second Lieutenant of the
ship 1 command, with a party of men, to see what
could be effected, and I take the honour to refer you
to a perusal of his letter to me for an account of
his success, which, for coca:ion and bravery has
been acknowledged to bid fair for proteCtion and

La Caridad Prefefta is a very fine new vessel, and
in my opinion, every way fit for His Majesty's ser-
vice. I remain, Sir, fitc.

I beg leave to acquaint you, that, in pursuance
of your orders, I proceeded with the schooner you
placed under my command, to the Southward ; and
while cruising on that station, and off the Island of
Bmacca, received information from the Caribbean
fishermen, that a guards costa was at anchor under
the batteries of Trusillo, and that she had lately
captured and carried into that port the schooner
Admiral Duckworth, of Jamaica, with Another
vessel, name unknown, from Honduras ; 1 therefore
maturely considered theincalculable injury such a
vessel might cause to the settlement, and conceiving
it a duty incumbent en myself to prevent, if possi-
ble. further depredations, summoned the people al,
and, on my stating the case to them, they very rea-
dily volunteered to make an attempt to cut her our.
Accordingly, en the evening of the 13th ultimo, I
stood over, under Cover of the night, for the har-
bour of Truxillo, and got well into the bay without
being discovered, when I manned two small beats,
with six men in each, under charge of Mr. Wilkes.,
boatswain, in the one, and Mr. Bawler, midshipman,
in the other, with chretions to pull in close along
shore, and examine if our information was corm&
standing in, at tire same time, with the se/sooner, to
cover the boats, if occasion'required. Shortly alter, '
we got in sight of the vessel we were in pururil of ;
which was immediately hoarded with great bravery
by the boar's clew under charge of Mr. Bowler,
(the other, from pulling heavy, not being able to
get up,) and, after some resistance from the people
on deck, they very gallantly got possession of her,
the Captain and others jumping overboard ; the
wise this contest occasioned, alarmed the forts,
which opened on us a very heavy fire. The cables
were then cur, and sail made, the forts keeping a
continual fire on us, till out of gunshot, which was
returned from both vessels. She proves to be La
Caridad Perfe&a, schooner-rigged, copper-bot-
Corned, and pierced for sisteen guns, but mounted
only with twelve, and had on board but fifteen men,
She remainder of her complement being on shore at
the time.
I am he-opy to add, that in performing this ser-
vice, no person has been hurt.
I have the Honour to be, &c.

have to acquaint you, that yesterday evening,
in consequence of information I received from the
‘here, I gave chase two sail. lin the otEng, and
soon came up with a ship, which proved to be an
American, captured a few minutes before by a Spa-
nish privateer, then standing in shore : I dropped a
boat to take possession of her, and stood after the
privateer; but it falling calm shortly after, I di'-
patched two boats in chase ; they came op with,
and boarded her, at the very moment she struck on
a reef, near the shore, and about ten miles t” lee-
ward of Falmouth: every effort proved ineffeftual
to get her off and she went to pieces soon after.
She proved to be La Precieusa, a new cutter, out six
days from St. Jago Cuba, commanded by Galana
Garsa, carrying three small guns, and twenty-three
men, five of whom made their escape,, in a canoe.
previous to her being boarded, had made no other
captures. I have the honour to be, &a.
