badly wounded ; in which number is included the
Lieutenant of Volunteers, Don 11. Corral, and Briga•

Dcn F. de Alcedo, of the Mentam'r, was killed ih

Lana, badly wounded. Mmy losses of other excel-
lent officers have doubtless been sustained through-
out th, fleet, as several ships were entirely dismast-

am acquainted with them, I will communicate them
to your Excell-ncy.
