am sorry to say, that 1 raeived a severe wound in the shoulder
by a grape sh.et, w hie'', obliged me to to quit the deck z
however. tl:e ser,ice did not sutler by that event, as the suc-
(eNling lieutenant, the Non George Douglas fought the ship
through the action, in a most gallant meeker, which continued
about one hour and thirty-five minutes. The ~enemy having
f am the beginning pointed their guns high, we were by this time
a complete wreck in our limits, sails, and rigging. Notwith-
standing the situation- thv enemy .was then reduced to, she tried
to effeet her escape, which 1 knew was totally impossible
from the state of her
.riggitsg, and more particularly as at that
time the Superieur (the brig 1 before mentioued) hailed us, and
gave us information that the strange sail ,inst seen to leewatd was
the Lamina. On tho Latona'b coming within gunshot of the eller
my and given her a frvr guns, :Othich she returned, and slightly
wounded aL few of the Latpua's men she immediately brought
to on the starbuard tack, and every mast went by the board.
Site proied to be the French Frigate La 3 unon, of 41 guns,
and $23 men, commanded by Monsieur Augustin RosEeou, a
Member of the.Cegion of Hononr; out from the Saints only

four days, bound to France.
I now 'detail the loss sad damages sustained by his Majesty's
ship under, my comtPand.
The Horatio has suffered. but little in her 'hull, from the rea-
son already given, of ,the enemy's aiming particularly a,t nur
masts and rigging,. which they effected, having nothing else
standing hut our lower Masts, much wounded, and completely
dismaraled, all to our foresail, and the rags of our mainsail.
the number of officers, seamen, and marines lost on this (Kea-
sinn to *their country and their riends, are by no means consi-
deta'Sle,, when compared with the dreadful loss or the enemy,
shall hereafter relate. The loss on hoard the Iloratia
consists of ;lir. George Grunter, midshipman, awl six seamen
killed; Mr. Andrew. Lock, boatswain, and twelve *seaman,
badly wounded ; Lieutenant Richard DlakeneY, of the 110,Y11
Marines, Mr.. Robert King, waster's-male, six seamen, mat
two. marines,
,slightfy wounded. The loss of tFe enemy, as I
have before stated, was all her lower mast ; her hull most is on-
derfaily. cut up, making, in consequence, a great deal of watery-
until the-shot-holes were stopped.
The loss in killed and wounded amounted to one hundred and
thirty. The Captain expired soon after the action from the
wounds he received.
The gallantry :end good conduct oftheofficeis awl ship's com-
.
pany under my command, I must always remember w ith grati-
tude, and were I to enter into particulars it would be endless.
To Captain Ferrie,..,yrho commands the brig Superieur (one
of Sir Alexander Cochrane's. squadron), 1 feel much indebted
for the very gallant manner he Behaved, although I believe he.
had only four small commades on board ; and to Captain Pigot
of the Latnna I shall ever -feel thankful for his exertions and,
activity in erecting jury masts,; difil and putting the priwe iu a
4 --
sea worthy state.
T have much pleasure. in informing you that the Junon
ap-
pears a very fine -ship, ainly three years old, never having been
at sea before 'she left France, about three mouths ago.
I have the honour to be, &v., (Signed) 0. SCOTT.
