Falmouth, in 28 Jays, and the same day Sir Richard

proceed to England.

Bata brig of war, of la guns, Capt. Keilly, who en-
gaged tne frigate cn the night of the Ist instant, for
an hour and 20 minutes, and had one man killed, and
eleven wounded. Her masts and rigging were so
mods injured, as to prevent her capturing the French
ship, *ad Capt. Keilly had the mortification of seeing
his convoy in the hands of the enemy on the 2d.—
