MONDAY, AUGUST 3.

Aimiraity-Offre, .Ang. 3, zBq t

Lieutenant Philip Dumaresq, of His nijesty's
Ship Czsar,/arrived lust night with bit,patches from
a `Rear-Admi 1 Sir J-dines Saurnarcz, Barr. of which
the followillg
are Copies
C4'sar, of Cape Trafalgtzt,
SIR, ' -July 13, 180 r. .

It has pleased the Almighty to crown the exer-
tions of this Squadron with the most decisive Suc-
cess over the Enetnies of their Country. -

The Three French Line of. Battle Ships disabled
in the ACtion of the '6th instant, off Algeziras,
:were, on the Bth, reinforced by a Squadron of Five
Spanish Line of Battle Ships under the command of
Don Juan 'Joaquin de Moreno; and a French Ship,
,of seventy-four guns, wearing a Broad Pendant,
besides Three Frigates, 'and an incredible -number
of Gunmboats and other Vessels, and got under sail.
yesterday morning, together with His Majesty's
late Ship Himnibid, which they. had succeeded in
getting off.the shoal on which she struck.- .
I almost despaired of having a sufficient force in
readiness tooppose to sucb numbers; bUt, through-
the great exertions of Captain Brenton, the Officers..
and Men belonging to the..Cxsar, the Ship was in,
readiness to warp odt of the Mole yesterday morn-'.
ing, and got under weigh, inimediately after, with
,all (Ile Svaciron, except the Pointe)- which ship
had not had time to get ;nicer

Confidingin the zeal :ind infrepidirytd the Of-

liccrs and Men I had the .111ppinesirtorserve with,
} determined, ,if possible,•to obstruft the passage of
this-.very powerful -force to Cadiz. Late the
evening I obsei'ved the Enemy's Ships to have
cleared Cabareta Point, and at eight I bore up
•
with the Squadron 'to stand after them: His Ma-
jesty's ship_ St.lperb being stationed a-head of the
Ca: :,:+r, direaed Captain Keats to:make sail, and
attack the sternmost* ships in the Enemy's•rear,
using his endeavours to 'keep in shore of them.--;
At eleven the Superb opened her fire close to the
Enemy's ships, and on the Cxsar's coming up and
preparing to engage a three-decker, that had hauled
her wind, she was perceived bave- taken fire,
and.the_flames having communicated to a Ship to
leeward of her,- both were seen hi •a
blaze; and
presented a Most awful sight. No possibility exist-
ing of offering•the least-assistance in so distressing a
situation, the Cmsar passed to 'do* with 'the Ship
engaged by the" Superb; but by the cool and deter-
mine& fire kept upon-her, which must
.ever reileft
the highest Credit on that Ship,- the Enemy's Ship
was completely silenced, and soon-after hauled down
her Colours.

The Venerable and Spencer having 'at this time
come up, I bore up after the Enemy), who were
carrying a pras of sail, standing out of the Straits,
and lost sight of them during the.nighr. It bi6v
excessively hard till day-light, and in the morning
the oniy Ships in company were the Venerable and
Thattes .a-hc-ad df the. Cxsar; and one of the French
4ips at some distance froip iltern, standing towards
the Shoal.s of Comity besides tlre Spencer asternconr-
ingup.
All the Ships immediately ntade sail With a fresh
breeze, but, as we approached>, the wind suddenly
failing, the Venerable was alone able to bring her to
Aetion, which Ciptairtliood did in the'most gallant
manner,
.and. had . nearly silenced the French Ship,
when his main-mast (which had been before wound:.
ed, was unfortunately shot ltWay-, and it coming
neatly calm, the. Enemy Ship was 'enabled to gct
off, without any possibility of 4:illowing her. -
,' The highest praise is due to Captain Hood, 'the' •
Officers, and Nien Or the Venerable, for their spirit
and' gallantry in the Aclion, which entit ed them to
better success: The French ship •was an eighty-
four, 'with'additional guns on thegunwale.

This Atli was so near the shore, that the Ve.
`nerabld struck .on one :of the shoals, bat was soon
after "got off, a►id taken ,it) tow bytthe Thathe, but
with the loss of all het' masts.

The Enemy's Ships are now in sight to tlleWest.
ward, standing in for Cadiz. The Sprb and'
Audacious, with the captured Ship, are Aso in ;iglu;
with the Carlotta Portuguese Frigate, corninurded
by Captain Crawfurd Duncan, who very handsemeiy
came out with the Squadron, and has been of the
greatest assistance to Carifnin 'Meats, in 'staying by
the. Enemy's. Ship captured by the Superb.

I am proceeding with the Squadron for Rosier
Bay, and shall proceed the moment the ships are re-
fitted to rev= my station,
