The Manifebr lately boasted, that the French had
fifteen squadrons at sea.—The following interesting
Account of one of them is copiel from Gimes
of yesterday, a respeaable and intelligent evening
print:—
Extra& of a letter from Plymouth, dived Aug. G :
Four days since, I communicated to you an ac-
count of Capt. Keats's squadron having chased three
or tour French frigates, and that the Latent, saw
the Mars at a distance when she came away, and
Was in hopes she had not lost sight of the enemy;
she had not, for this morning the Mars arrived with
one of them ; the others made their escape into Pas-
sage, a port in Spain. The prize proves to be Le
Rhea French frigate, mounting 4'2 guns, 330 men;
taken by the Alors, 74 guns, Capt. Oliver, after a
chase of twenty-four boors ; both arrived here this
morning. The above frigate was in company with
the &rime and Horwnose, of 40 guns ; and the
.7brwi•, of 36 guns, who made their escape."
l'he following particulars may be relied on as
con eft :
„ When the Mars discovered Le Rlein and her
consorts, she was the look-out ship of Commo-
dore Keats', squadron, .vet y far advanced; she im-
meliattoy gave chase; and in the evening of the
28th ult. discovered the enemy shout seven miles
on the weather how. The enemy finding the Mau
gaining upon them, and out of sight of our squa-
dron, forrne.l their line, as if inclined for a Snub,
which would probably prove a hard one, as the
win•l was very high, with so much sea, as to pre-
vent her using her lower-deck guns. thereby re-
ducing her almost to the force of a stout frigate;
but on her nearer approach, our gallant tars had
the mortification tcrsee three of the frigates make
off, and leave one to her destiny." •
'I he enemy's squadron escaped from Cadis in
February last. and went to Senegal, from thence to
Cayenne, and afterwards to the West Indies, and
cruised to windward of Barbadoes fifteen days, in
which time they chased an English frigate, which
escaped; they re-vi&ualled, &c. at Porto Rico; and,
on the 18th of May, left it on their return to France.
During all their cruise, they only captured two
English vessels and one Swede, which they burned.
Le Rhin it a beautiful ship, strongly built of
oak, and is about four years old.
Extras% of a Letter from an Officer on board His
MIJISTY'S ship Mare, same date, and on the same
subjea :—" I have now something pleasing and in-
teresting to communicate. On the !7th ult. being
the look-oat ship of the squadron, at six p. at. we
descried in the S. W. quarter, four strange sail,
steering to the Southward and Eastward ; imme-
diately made the signal to the let. and commenced
a general chase—the Arrive between us and the legit,
repeating oar signals ; we soon made them to be
enemy's frigates. Night coming on, we lost
sight of them ; carried a press of sail on a wind
all night; in the morning saw them again, none
of our fleet in sight ; chased all day, till six p. a. Le
Rhin being then far a-stern of the other three;
they tacked and stood towards her and us; and as
we expraed and trusted, to give as a little sport
after our long chase of 160 miles; however. find-
ing we were not dismayed by their superiority in
number, they bore up, made all tail, and left the
Le Rhin to her fate."
