Copy of a Letter from the Fail of St Vincent, C B Admiral

elated es based ILI Makmey's ship the Hibernia, ell Ushant,
April 14, 1606.
Ste—l yesterday received from Vice-Admiral
Thornbroosh, the letter, with its inclosure, trona
Captain Lord Cochrane, of which copies are here-
with transmitted, for the information of my Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty. The gallant and
succesful exertions of the Pallas, therein detailed,
refled very high honour on her Captain, Officers,
and Crew, and call for my warmest admiration.
I am, &c. Sr. VIISCENT.
Prince of Wales, off Rmhfort,
MY LORD, Oth April, 1806
have the honour to transmit to your Lordship
a copy of a letter I have this day received from
Captain Lord Cochrane, of His Majesty's ship
Pallas, under my orders. It will not be necessary
for me, my Lord, to comment on the intrepidity
and good canduift displayed by Lord Cochrane, his
Officers, and men, in the execution of a very hazard-
ous enterprise in the Garonne; a river the most
difficult, perhaps, in its navigation, of any on this
coast ; the complete success that attended it, as
well as the destrußion of the vessels of war men-
tioned in the said letter, on the coast of Arcassore,
bespeaks their merits mere fully than is in my
power to do ; to which may be fairly added, that
nothing can evince more clearly the high state of
discipline of the crew of the Pallas, than the hu-
manity shewn by them to the enemy in the conflict.
I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) EDw. TMORSIROUGH.
The Earl of St. Vineent, Sec. Sec Ac.
his Majesty's Ship Pallas, off Chessmen,
SIR, Bth April, 1806.
Having received information, which proved cor-
reit, of the situation of the corvettes in the river of
Bourdeaux ; a little after dark, on the evening of
the sth, the Pallas was anchored close to the Shoal
of Cordovan ; and it gives me satisfaftion to relate,
that, about three o'clock, :he National corvette, La
Tapageuse. of 14 Tong twelve pounders and ninety-
five men, wh;ch hkd the guard, was boarded. car-
ried, and cut nut, about twenty miles above the
shoals, within two heavy batteries, in spite of all
resistance, by the First Lieu•enant, Mr. Haswell,
Mr. Sutherland. the Master, Messrs. Perkyns, Craw-
ford, and Thompson, together with the quarter-
masters, and such of the seamen, die serjeant, and
matinee, as were fortunate enough to find place
in the boats.
The tide of flood ran strong at day-light ; l.a
Tapageuse made sail ; a general alarm was given ;
A sloop of war followed, and an aßion continued,
often within hail, till. by the same b yby which
tl•st rapagense was Ca: s ied, the sloop of war, which
had been before saved by the rapidity of the cur-
rent alone, after about an hour's firing, was com-
pelled to sheer off, Iravilg suffered as much in the
hull AS the Tapageuse in the rigging.
The conduin of the officers and men will be justly
appreciated. With confidence I shall now beg
'rave to recommend them e notice of the
Lords Comm:stioners of the Admiralty.
It is necessary to aid, that, the same morning,
when at anchor, waiting for the boats (which by
the-bye, not return nil this morning), three
ship were observed heating Joan towards the
• alas, making many s;gitals: they were scrim per.
