this morning, at day-light, discovered a schooner
in Bottomless" Cove, and, after along chase, came
up with her at three p. 1114. when 1 found her to be
an enemy's cruiser; at half-pest three we com-
menced action with her, which continued, at half
pistol-shot from her, for forty-five minutes, whin
she struck to His Majesty 's schooner under my com-
mand. I find her to be La Dorwle, from St. Do-
mingo, commanded by Monsieur Netly, mounting
a long eighteen-pounder, two nines, and seventy-
two men. The enemy's loos hiss been considerable ;
they left us the distressing duty of committing
seven of them to the deep atter the action, and
about the same number, 1 find, were thrown over
during it: their loss appears to have been about
fourteen killed, and three wounded. lam sorry
to be under the neeeseitv of annexing a list of
wounded belonging to the Decouverte, most of
them, I fear, dangerous ; but, when I consider the
ohstinate resistance of the enemy, 1 think we are,
on the whole, fortunate. Three of our guns were
di-mounted the second round, on the side we en-
gaged, which gave the enemy a great advantage, as
well as a .npenority of force over us. I feel much
sedisfoctiou in the capture of this timid, as, from
her fast sailing, and the intrepidity of her crew,
she might have done much mischief. I beg leave
to express my highest approbation of the conduct
of Mr. M'lntire, Master of the Decourerte, on this
occasion. Being sensible of my over deficiency in
