'-'• Admiral Molt Eilo, wit. Aree other Spanish
and two 'French Ships, was at break of day to the
west of Cadiz. The Faim;dable seeing no signa'ls,
made drealy for Cadiz, and at daybreak was on.the
Coast of Spain, within shot of the English Squadron.
A hartie tcrpic place. • Mole contending with 3 Ships
and a Frigate, the Forraid4le must inevitably have
been taker, Kir proud of the laurels they had gained at
Algesiras, die Crew and the Garrison swore to bury
themselves in the waves rather than strike. :Vic-
tory favoured this intrepid resolution ; some cannon_
;hot well direaed drove away; the Frigate. The
'manoeuvred, and direfted itself against the
Pom.p le, which at the second discharge lost all its
niadts, and was cut down in appearance to a barge.
Two Ships still remained. The Formidable fired
from both sides, obliged them to sheer off, and en..
tered Cadiz triumphantly.
The battle of the Formidable is one of the mot
Various that ever took place. The inhabitants of
Cadiz, who were witnesses to it, received Captain
TRoUDE who commanded her, and his Cre‘i7, in

triumph.
The Crew of Admiral LINOW Squadron, which
has acquired so much glory in these different battlei,
have, during the last six months, been exercised by
truizing, and to this they are indebted for that dis-
tiplinc which courage can never supply the place Of,
more particularly at sea.

Admiral Mott o entered Cadiz with the re-
imainetr Squadron. That brave and respect_
able Officer had calculated every thing, but the mis-
fortune which befel two of his five Ships in a dark
and stormy night, could not be foreseen.

" On the 9th of July a Spanish Division, consisting of Six
.ail of the Line, and Three Frigates, arrived at Algesiras
from Cadiz, -under the command of His Excellency Lieute-
tant-Genttal Moe. ziao, in order to raise the Blockade of
lour Sail Of- the Lineand One. Frigate, which were under
OF orders, and td favour their escape to Cadiz, That
Ricci .azararaingly gave me every assistance in his power,
in order to put any Ships in a cendition to put to Sea,
444 to to..v them out, in order to enable them to set sail. Our
labour was continued day and night. General Maximo
Made his Squadron anchot in a line N. E . and S. W. On the
lath
eli there was a tolerably fresh East wind, and it !vas de.
`nhactl to set sail at one o'clock in the afternoon, on ace
c,„°urit of the tide.—The Signal being given at that hour,. the
Fleet set sail, the Spanish Squadron being to windward' of
tuts. The Frigate l'lndienne, towed the Haintibal, which
'We watt sorry to perceive made .. very little way, The

Lying a brisk gale at East, sailed from Gibraltar with
Five Sail of the Line, a frigate, a Brig, and a Portu,
gucac Frigate, and formed in order of Battle. Ai soon
as the English Admiral had passed Europa Point, he made a

to return to our anchorage, which might agora. :he tuentk an opportunity of attacking us before we 'took

I)°sition. At all events, every delay was dangerous, for
z* Reinforcements which the Enemy expeded, might arrive

At nine we !mai the reports of three cannon, and
jalt..tdhll saxne time we saw fires a considerable distance be,:
vesselsill'. We presumed it might be some of the Enemy's

al:cirsel:7,3)(ll'°ll seeing our Squadron so well colleated together,
tai ~.alL`ng so well, which made us confident that the plan of
~,v_e:Lnelliy would not succeed. At half past eleven the wind
herd onsidtrably increased. The night was very dark, we
st;n.,(l smart cannonade In E.N. E. and soon after we saw a
e3l:lla.gtintrtiin7,which made us apprehend ,t hat some of our Ves-
their stern-guns, had taken fi. man consequence of
1 the orce of the wind.—We thought also that they might be
a__ -shiPa belonging to the Enemy. --We put about for limn-
o'ntternt, but the Vessel on fire approachingus, we continued on

sista-al we had at our mast-head, for fear that the EnernY

Iv ieq our Ships. We made sail, digling our course to W.

43111.sength the day dissipated part of our fears, and we found
te,o.evea in the midst of out Fleet, with the exception of
'lkov Shies of three decks, viz. the Hermengilda and the
I`a. Chafles, the Formidable, and the Saint-Antoine. The
itki
tl,
-a v 'lving fallen, it became impossible to go in search of
,
esseis.which had separated. We were then six leagues
prIZ of Cadiz., At half past four o'clock, the Dessaix
ha,' t signal that she had sprung a leak, and that the water
ailt:74ined Upon her 3o inches in an hour, and demanded assist-
LI
tha, .‘,..vh. tot was granted, la t five o'clock we heard an ACtion
tale ; 'gSt, and,
perceived a smoke. The wind being then from
t • 'we nude the signal for the Line of Battle iv be fprlauct

as quick as poiiNi, without regard to places, in order to
assist the Vessel which was engaged. At half past six
the ACtion ceased,' and the most perfca calm succeeded.
At eleven the wind rising again, we- perceived four Ves-

sels at a considerable distance from one another: We flat-
tered ourselves at first that they were our Ships, but we
soon found by their rnanceuvres, that they were Ene-
mies, We also distinguished the Formidable close under the
land, making the best of her way to Cadiz. We stood for
that l'ort, from which a Felucca brought me a Letter from
the Captain of the Formidable, which had then anchored in the
Road of Cadiz, stating that he had in thd. morning engaged
two English Ships of the Line and a Frigate,- and that one of
the English Ships had been completely diSmasted, and had
been towed away by the Frigate. We then anchored in
Cadiz.

" I must acknowledge the consUmmate experience and
talents of General MORENO, as well: as tUE Teal and care
which he displayed for the success Of his-mission. If sepa-
rations have taken place, it must be attributed to the dark-
ness of the night, and to the necessity which there was
of getting away from the Vessels which were on fire.
That Officer, upon hearing at Cadiz of the destruction of
two Ships of his Squadron, the Hermengilda and the Royal
Charles, was justly struck with grief upon the occasion. He
had, by his wise instructions, provided against almost every
possible case,

" I have since been informed, that the two Spanish Ves,
sets which were destroyed, cannonaded and ran foul of one
another, each supposing the other to be an Enemy.—We
arc uncertain about the fate of the St. Antoine. The vio-
lence of the wind nude it extremely dangerous to fire to
windward.
