As the tide suited, the enemy evinced great aai.
vity endeavouring to
,warp their ships (which had
grctulliled.) into deep water, ancl succeeded in getting
all but five of the line towards the entrance of the
Charente before it became prglicable to attack them.
I gaVe orders to C3pt. Thigh, of the Valiant, to
proceed with that ship, the Revenge, Frigates,
Bombs, and small vessels, named in the margin -1.,
to anchor near the, litiyart , Shoal, in readiness for
the attack: At twenty .Minutes past mop. m. Lord
Cochrane- advanced in the Imperiense with his ie»
enstorneel gallantry and spirit, and Opened
directed fire upon the Calcutta, which struck her
colours to the Impetieuse ; the ships and vessels
above mentioned soon after joined in the attack upoti
the Ville de Varsovie and Aquilon,_ and obliged
them, before five o'clock, after staitaining a heavy
cannonade, to strike theirreolours, When they were
taken poiheasion of by the boats of the advanced
Squadron. As soon as the prisoners were retrieved,
they were set on fire; as was also the Tontietre, a
short time after by the enemy. . .

I afterwards detached .Rear-Admiral the non.
Robert Stopford, -in the Ctesar, with the TheseuS,
three additional Fire-ships (which Were hastily, pre-
pared in the course of the day), anti all the boats
of the'Fleet, with Mr. Congreve's rockets; to,con-
dttrt the further operations of.the night; against- any
of the Alps which lay. exposed to an attack .Qn

eci to me, that as the--C par and other lirre6(..bs*
ships bad grounded, end were in a dangerous situp.,
tion, he thought it advisable.to order them all_out,
particularly as the remaining part of the service could

and I was happy , to find that they were extricated
from their perilous situation.

I ill' April.
P. S. This morning three of the enemy's Line-of.
Battle Ships are observed to be still on shore under
Ponta; and one of them is in a dangerous situa.
tion. One of their Frigates (Gandienne), also on
shore, has fallen over, and they are now ditimantl-
ing her. As the tides will take dtf in a day or tvo,
there is every probability that she will be destroyed.
Since writing the foregoing, I have learnt th<it
the Honourable Lieutenant-Colonel Cochrane (Lord
Cochrane's brother), and Lieutenant Bisset of the
Navy. were volunteers in the Jrnperieuse, Arid rett-
.dered thenuelves extremely useful ; the former by
eumnianding same of her guns on the main-dveki
and the latter in conutsaing one of the explosioh
vessels.
