His Majesty's Ship Poictioys, at Sea, Oct. ), 1 •
SIR—It is with the most bitter sorrow and distre,s I' have to
report to your Excellency the capture of his Majesty's brig Frolic,
by the ship Wasp belonging to the United States of America, ou the
18th instant. .
Having under convoy the homeward bound trade from•the Bay of
Honduras. and being in latitude !,'3 neg. N. and 61 gale'. on the
night of the 17th, we were overtaken by a most violent l4 wind.
in which the Frolic carried away her main yard, lost her topsails, and
sprung the main topmast. On the more ing of the 18th, as we
lmg the
were -
repairing the damages sustained in the storm; and re-asscmb
scattered ships, a suspicious ship came in sight, and gave chace to
the convey. -• •
The merchants ships continued their voyage before the wind under
all sail ; tbr Frolic dropt astern, ar,rl hoisted Spanish
ime for theguns, convo
to escape. About ten o'clock, both vessels being within hail, we
hauled to the wind, and the battle began. The superior fire .-rt our
guns gave every reason to expect its speedy termination in ow favour,
but the gatla head-braces hei.g shot away, and there 1-?ing•Tn9 sail on
the main-mast,. the brig became unrmnageable, and the enemy snc-
ended in taking a position to rake her, while she • WAS unable to bring.
a gun to bear.
After laying some time exposed to a most destructive fire, she fell
with the bowsprit betwixt the enemy's inain ar.d inizen rigging, still
unable to return his tire.
At length the enemy boarded, and made himself master of the brig.
every inctividuil officer being woriede!,' and the greatet part of the
men either killed or wouadc.l, there not being twenty. persons re-
maining unhurt.
Alshough 1 shall ever deplore the unlianpy issue of this contest
,
it would be great injustice to the merits or r lle ntlico.s anit crew if I
failed to report that their bravery and ermine -A are deservit of every
praise ; atat 1 ant convinced, if the Frolic ilJti not beeticrinp!ed-in time
gale, 1 should have to trinke a very ti:itiirent rep,at to y,:ur i:xcelency.
The Wasp was taken, and toe Frolic; recaptured the rte afternoon;
by his Majesty's ship the Poictiers. Brill peraraied in,rii trein; I
cannot transmit ar present a lir,t of killed initl wounded. 'Mr.
Challis M‘Kav,. the first lieutenant, and Mr. S:ephezrs, the Master,.
lave dir:d of their w,tunds.

I have the honour to liei.-&e: - .
