in 650 French and Dutch soldiers, part of those: aken
on the Island. When the Yoik left the Island the
batteries had opened .their fire on riiishing from
three different points, and no doubt was entertained
but the obstinacy of General MONcrt would be
shortly overcome by the still more obstinate temper
of the British balls.. -

at Demerara 29th June.

The Fylla frigate, lately arrived at Spitheadi
sailed from Jan.-mica on the 3d of May, in companY
with the Diamond and convoy ; bot in conse-
quence of a-tinning short of water was obliged to
bear away. for Havanna. In passing the Island of
Pines, the Fylla fell in with a French schooner
priVateer, which got up into a creak, where_rhet,
Fylla: could not folllow her. The boats " Were
manned and Sent in ; but the enemy having run
their vessel on shore within a reef, concealed
themselves to the amount of one hundred men, `
among the rocks, whence they could fire and:
pick off the men of the boats' . crews, without be-
ing seen, though fortunately only one Midship-
man was wounded. The -Fylla's men resolved to
abandon this unequal mode :of warfare, and to ' •
try to come at the.enemy on fairer terms. After
the- boats returned to the ship, the Second 'Lieu-
tenant, .followed by all the men, went aft to. ,
thereaptain, and volueteered to go in the night
further4own the coast of the Island, and to
land and march up to the enemy in the morning.
—The Ciptain 'assented, and at twelve o'clock,
that night, the Second Lieutenant, with sixty men,
pushed off in the Fylta!s• boats, and .those of an•
American schooner which, was in company. They-
had a pull along the coast above ten 'miles before
they could find a landing-place, the
,share was so
completely bound with rocks. , At length they
found a sandy. bay, ,which they entered. The Ot-Ett
cers, after reconnoitering a littfe,..rnade ofit the ene-
thy's.. position by a smoke, and atter some consult
tion,• resolved :to proceed to attack them.. They
made four div,sions of seamen, besides one of ma-
rines, commanded by the Lieutenant 01 marines.—
The four divisions of seamen were commanded by
the Fylla's second Lieutenant, Gunner, Boatswain,
and Masters Mate. The Lieutenant then over-
hauled the cartridge-boxes. They wire all light i
but unfortunately there was no spare powder 3—the
ardour with which the service was undertaken hav-
ing prevented a due attention to that object at the
time of setting out on the expedition.. 'A Midship-
man was immediately dispatched with six men to
tow all the boats back to the ship, at that time levet
or twelve thilei distant, and fo bring back supplier
.of ammunition :and proviiions. This was done
with all possible, expedition, though the darkness of
the night rendered it difficult for the Officer in the ,
boat to make the ship ; but before the return of.
the boat, !the party. had become impatient and
fearful of losing, in the daylight, which was faste'
preaching,
.the advantage they would have by coon
ing upon the enemy unawares. They therefore
puOied • forward, and •succeeded in surprising the
enemy, who fled and dispersed in every directiou,
abandoning. a • residence they. had erthed, with a
view.to• make this place-the centre of their depre-
dations. Th!PV/a's men burnt the building ; and
having been joined:by the boat's' crew with the pro-
visions,_ took soma- refreshmeth, 'after a- fatiguing
march of 2 t miles. They thergot out the schooner,
and brought her to their ship to the Havanna, where
they "Oct the most friendly and flattering reception/ •
