EXTRACT OF A LATTER PROS[ AN OFFICER ON
BOARD NIS MAJLSTY'S SHIP ARROW, DA FED CA.
THAOENA, 26ER TM ltlos

You will, no doubt, be not a little surprised, when you read
from whence this is dated, and on What uccolon we are here.
Krone then, en the 4th of January we sailed from Malta, in
company is oh His Majesty's bomb Atherton, and a cone°, of
94 sail fur England, and had a fine fair wind, which carried us
within a few days sail for Gibraltar, when the wrod shifted and
blew exceedingly hard for ten days. Sunday, February the 3d,
it being a very fine day, we observed two strange frigates on our
weather quarter, with all sail set, made the private signal to
them, which was not answered; tacked with the•betub, and
stood towards them ; at two, could perceive they were two large
frigates; cleared ship fur action; it now fell calm; at sun set
sprang up a breeze, Hearing the enemy very fast; every body at
q riartets all night; at four in the morning the frigates came close
alongside, when several shots were exchanged, without any
damage on either side; they then stood off again, and ran to
leeward ; we were uot positive of what nation they were, whe-
ther French, !Spanish, or Algerines; the long wished-for day-
light at length appeared, when we saw the French coluors
flying on board the frigates; at six they tacked, and stood to-
wards us, and our consort the boob; at seven, the action be-
gan, with great spirit on both sides, which lasted till half pass
eight, when, from was disabled state, arid being overpowered
.0 superior a tome, we were under the necessity of striking
the colours. The bomb, seeing out condition, made tail, but
was afterwards taken and bunted by the other frigate. I
leave you to judge, whether we gave up the Arrow with di;
grace. The ir,gate which took powession of us was called
t. the Incorruptible, inoeuting 44 13-pounders, and carried up.
wards of 600 men. The other ship was called 1: Hortense,
mounted about SO guns, and the same number of men.
The Arrow mounted 2$ 32-pounders (earronades), and 134
men ; and the Acheron only eight tuna. Urine the action,
we had IS men killed, and $7 wounded mass, yards, ,ails,
ropes, and rigging, cot all to pieces, so that the ship was a most
complete wreck, floating like a log on the water for the last ten
minutes of the action ; four guns out of six, at my quarters,
were disabled. About three hoursafter they took possession of
us, the Frenchman found she was sinking very faro, as oohed
upwardsof thirty shot holes under water; every ludy now began
to look out for himself, and I was owe of the lest of the primmer'
on hoard; was ofiligod to take a leap overbesol, ta get into
one of the frigate*, boats, and, after a cooling swim, was taken
on board the host by one of our men ; hut, in spite of all the
effart. made both by the French and Foglishinen, she sunk
about one o'clock in the afternoon, with three unfortunate
wounded Englishmen on board who could not betaken out. To
aggravate our misfortune, not a stitch of clothes did we save, hut
what we had on our backs; every thing I had in the world
went to the bottom in the poor little Arr.,w. W.: could trot
1141f11 exactly what damage we did the enemy, as the slue we
engaged most parted company in duce of the bomb, and did
not juin again. They behaved te. y well to us on boats, tin
Freroch Man. While we remained On ioard the frigate, she took
and burnt tsru of the convoy, a trairs,ort, and a merchant brig.
'We have net been able to learn what damage the other Oh
gato did the convoy—we hope not much ,• but hail we not en-
viva them so hum, a great many nowt have fallen hair their
hold. We are in great hopes Capt. Vincent will be made
post, for his gallant ovistance against 41 superior a force. The
French own theniselret they never dreamed of our engaging
them. They brought us lame on Thursthy the 7th F •bruary,
arid landed us en the fallowing Tuesday. The Spanie-ls have
givers the Officer; their parole of honour I they allow us about
four shillings a day each for our sabsOtenets. %Ye have formed
a mess of twelve; Captain V Memo, two Lados passengers,
four Soldier Officers taken in the transports, zinc five of the
tofic.ot of the Arrow, and we live as comfortable as out sitda
tion will permit, in daily expectation of hearing of our ex-
change. We all think ourselves very fortunate in not having
more Officers killed and reminded; the bull-wain and Cap-
tain's clerk were the only (Wholes killed; two of the womodol
men have died in the hospital, but the not are in a fair
way of recover,. After we are exchanged and tried for the
loss of the ship, all the (Ricers will be ordered him,;
perhaps we may be sent home to take our trial ; I hope the
Litter may take place t 1 hope, at farthest tw be its EtoOarod in
sot months. Tell Lick, when part wide, of my being in
limbo, as also a friend of hos, a Capt.in (:reed, formerly in
the 3111 h Regiment, but now in the 24th : ho was going home
foam Malta to join his rryptnerit ; he desires to be remembered
to him.
