Irere dismounted the second round, on the side we engaged,
which gave the enemy a great advantage, as well as a superie-
rity of force over us. I feel much satisfaction in the capture of
this vessel, as from her fast sailing, and the intrepidity of her
crew, she might have done much mischief. I beg leave to et,-
press my highest approbation of the conduct of Mr. M ‘l'ra ire,
master of the Decouverte, on this occasion. Being sensible
of
my over deficiency in writing briefly, I hope ynu will forgive
my intruding so much on your time by such long letters.
I have the honour to be, &c.
