VICTORY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.

A respectable Banker has transmitted to Ministers, a let-
ter from his Brother on board the Lavinia frigate, Captain
llAvrocK, cruiziug to the Westward. This letter, to which
considerable credit is attached, states, that " Sir BleuAnn
STRICIiA74I found in Palmas Bay, Majorca, a force of
" 1y sail of the line (supposed to bt. the United Rochefort
" and Carthagena squadrons) : and though he had only
" eight sail of the line to oppose so very superior a force,
" he gallantly determined upon bringing the enemy to ac-
" tion. A most dreadful ensued, which continued
" several hours, and terminated in the complete defeat of
" the enemy, of whose ships six were captured, three sunk,
" and the remaining- three aected their escape. The loss
" qn our side, with such immense odds against us, must
" necessarily have been very considerable ; and it is tinder-
" stood that two of our ships were sunk, an Admiral, two
" Captains, and upwards of fifteen hundred men kihed.—
" It is added, that Sir itteaAav oiorionoll fell towarfrthe
!' close of the action."
