obliged_ to retire. Having thrown the greatest num-
her of his guns, almost all his. powder, ammunition,
.and provisions, into the sea, without heina able to
get Completely afloat, he was obliged to send to the
Admiral for ammunition and assistance, both of
which were not afforded him in an effectual manner.

was served by part of his crew. At four o'clock five
British brigs, and a bomb vessel, attacked the
Regulus and• Foudroyant, and continued bombarding
them until seven in the evening, without compelling
them to alter their position. On the-15th, he suc-
ceeded in getting the frigate. perfedly afloat; and
threw almoSt the whole, of his remaining
_cannon
into the sea.. In theevenieg_he thought he descried
the approaching catamarans, and took precautions
