IXTRCT
OF' A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OAT
BOARD L'IMMORTALITE, DATED OFF BItEST,
JUNE 18. - •
'g
WE have been off this place near six weeks,
and for the greater part of the time at anchor, with-
in about six miles from the entrance of the Harbour.
When we got under weigh to look-in, they gave us
plenty of Shot and Shells. We had a bit of a
skirmish the other day, singly anti alone, with two
of their Frigates, La Furiease and Syrert, the first
of superior force, the latter, very little inferior.---!
They were close under. their Batteries, but we cut
Up their rigging pretty well, notwithstanding; and
-make no doubt, could -we have got them from
their shelter, we should at least have taken one, if
not both. We have not the least expectation of
being relieved, or gain into Port, till their Fleet
Comes out, as we are supplied' Beer, 'Water,
&c. from. Plymouth. We have very good informa-
tion of the state of their Fleeti-for our French Pilot
(a (laying fellow); landed the 'other day, went into
Brest, from thence went on hoard several of their
Ships, staid a Week, anti then came out to us in a
Fishing-Boat.", , '
