Copy of a Letter addressed by Lord George Stuart, Captain.
of His Majesty's Ship PA imable, to the Senior Officer a
His Majesty's Ships and Vessels oil the Texel, dated the
7th instant, and trsismitted to the Hon. W. W. Pole, by •
Itear.Admiral Sir Edmund Nagle.
SIR,
I beg leave to acquaint you, on the 2d instant,
while standing to the Southward to regain my sta-
tion, his Majesty's Ship under my command being
driven by the late tempestuous weather from off the
Texel on the Wellbank, I perceived, at eleven A.M,
a strange sail on fl,e weather quarter, standing to
the Northward and eastward concluding from that
she was an enemy, 1 immediately wore round and
made all sail, and, after a chace of 28 hours, at font
P. M. on the ad instant, (Aberdeen bearing North
75 degrees W. Distance 36 leagues), came along- .
side of her, and having exchanged broadsides, con-
firmed a running fight, and in a few minues she
struck., She proved to be l'lris, French National
Twenty-four-gun Ship, commanded by Monsieur
Miquet, Capitaine de Frigate, but capable of carry-
ing 32 guns, had only twenty-four when taken,
twenty-two twenty-four pounder carronades and two
long twelves, a complement of one hundred and
forty men. She is only ten months old, copper-
fastened, and, Vtitinh,,inevery respect qtmlilied
for his Majesty's service. She sailed Irons Dkulkirk
on the 29th bound to Martin eine, with six
hundred and forty asks of floor on board, besides
being r icaualled and stored with every species to four
months. lam happy to say, ()illy two .men were
slightly wounded; the enemy lot two killed. and
eight wounded. I atria" einicerned to add, we glf".
feted materially in .ourrnasts and rigging; the min-
mast shut in the head, tnainyard shot away in the
slings, the mizenittast-bead and thion-toptnitst
shotaway, also the trysail-mast and tho
sails greatly cut up.
I have, &c.
