A Paper•of yesterday contains the following ar-
ticle, in tontraditaion to: the Letter of the French
Admiral DumANocit : " The 'French Adrairal,
DuzzAvont;-• in• hiS• lace -letter, jtistificatory- of the
surrender of his Squadron, :tates-, that the For2nid--
able (his Flag-ship) had been So Much damaged in
the Aation off Trafalgar, that she was obliged to
throw her forecastle 'battery Overboard.; and that
when she was brought- to a6tion byrSir B:. STRACHAN
she mounted only 60 guns. - Conceiving the "riser-
tion to be intended tOdbilitiiSh the credit dueito'Oar
gallant countrymen for the capture in question, we
hold it incumbent on us to expose the fallacy .of the
statement. The'writer of this: article was on board
the Formidable on her arrival at PlicitOdh; and eare-
fully observed her condition. She had sixteen- parts •
aside, on the lower deck; and mounted 15 pins.
She mounted 17 guns- aside on the upper deck, 18:
guns on the quarter deck, and four brass carr6nades
on her pobp. She, therefore",..'had 'BQ--grats in -the
a6tion, instead. of- Go, as-Admiral Du-mAN'oiR de-,
clires.- She had not, any gtinS on:the forecastle, brit
whet4er.they had been thrown: overboard or not, or
if so, when thrown over, our ,Corrispofident did. not
11 ear., Admiral D. says, that, when Sir 'lt 'S'r rtA 61IAN
brought, him to aCtiou, all _his Ships-were in danger
'of sinking, damaged it their Mast-$.-lards, &c. i':lf
such ‘yas the.6se, our fire had tlie.,,very, wanguat
effed of repairing their damage, ancic&tOpping.' their
}ears! as the French,;.l;hips, :whetc‘takercp)ssessiod
of Iv our people; after ,the battle, yi'ere by no Means
in-so had a state as the French Admiral- represents
them to have been is before-they were engaged. :
Nye.do'not,desire to impeach the bravery of the
rnemy 93 this occasion, as they would have been
justified had they surrendered:sooner than they did;
but wedo,. in the most decided terms, declare, that
their. report of their damage in the A&ion of the
21st of 06:lober;and of their:state at the commence- .
thent of that of the Atli of.NOveinber, is unfounded.
Had any of their masts or yards.. been-wounded. on
the 21st of Oadaer, they, .doubtless, would haVe'
been fished before 'the':ith of the following month ;.
but such was not the ease in a single instance.. They
had not lost any of their masts ,or
,yards till after
their.surrender„ nor did their appearance before the
battle of the 4th give reason to suppose that they.
had; been previously engaged; besides, had they suf-
fered in the manner they state; off Trafalgar, it is
morally impossible that they could have weathered
the tremendous gales which succeeded that•glorious
battle,
In 'regard to the 'charge of the French having
fired into such of their own Ships as had' surrertdc.
ed, denied by the French Admiral,,we positively de-
