MY LORD, - June i, isos.

Having taken shelter tinder Lusm, in a heavy N.K.-•
bale on the 28th uh. which continued until the al-
ternoun of the 31st, when I weighed; getting, tiont ,
under the land about five P. 4 tn;ee ban were seen
close under Premuda, on the st.arboard tack,' Wi!lt
the wind at East, and were soon made out to be
'Brigs of War ; Chace was instantly given. (..Yis See- '
ing us, they wore and 'stood wit!).che apparent in-
tention of gaining -the Channel of Zara., the
night was.likely to be clear, and the wind mode-
rate, I determined althoug.) the,
navigation (as your La: si'.ll) Will perceive 6y the
chart) is extremely intricate, and we not acquainted
with it;, but trusting entirely to the lead and a good
look-out. - Fortunately we kept sight of them Until
half past eleven, and.by carrying a press of saiL
again got sight: of two, :a little after three A.M.
about. two miles on our lee beams' the helm was
immediately put up; but the sails Were'hardly trim-
med when 'the third was observed on the starboard
tack on our larboard bow, we hauled to the wind
and passed her within musk‘et-shot t 3 leeavard, and
gave her our larboard broadside,'with etfe(-.1, as.
to completely knock her up, so that she snuck.-
without firing a gun, the people having .Iwi troth.
;their quarters. Boats were immediately dispatched
to bring the Officers on board and itellfe lur, and
sail made after the other two, whu were it-taking off
through one of the passages to get to sea ; it fall-
ing little wind, and they tuaking use of the sweeps,
it was not until nearly seven that .. we got witnin
shot of the sternmust, who, after receiving new
from. us, and seeing no chance of escaping, fired
her broadside, struck her colours, and run on shore.
It continuing to fall less wind,,tile other Brig;hcing
much smaller, by the Delp of her sweeps, was leav-
ing us fast; as there was no appearance of its freshen-
ing, and site having got amongst a. cluster Of small
'Stands, I thought it most.prudent to secure What
we had got, and. endeavour to get the one, which
had run on shore, off; w.hich'we scion effected With-
Oat her receiving the least.damage. • They prove- to
be 'the Nettuno and Teulie, of sixteen thirty:two
pounders brass carronades, and one hundred and
fifteen men each, sent from Zara the day before,
for the.
,purpose of, attacking us, having beard that
• we had so 'hairy men absent and sick, that wa lutist
tall an .easy prey. ' They are exactly the size of

R.-Tv-) ;11,4 we took a month ago, and but a few
months old.
~,übjoin a return of the killed and wounded, and
it affords me the greatest possible satisfaCtion that
we had not a min hurt.
I have the honour to be, &c.
