sf!:'-'1 at ,lidnight were: all: outy,.atd-bound convoy,
his Lox-dship appears inadvertently to have draWn
another inference from a single, paragraph., whkh,
if compared by the Court with the context of my
letter, the true'meaning will beiperfectly OWous,
and- which, injustice to myself, I shall noWhrief-
ly explain. After having detailed, in_ the letter
alluded to, the proceedings,of ,the l'ompee, from
the time I ?ir'st discovered the enemy and strange
ships; and described the -position of the different
ships subsequently seen during the night aid un-
til daylight of the morning of the 11th of March,
I concluded with the2se words Judging. from
what have since learned, I think these ships were
the two frigates and ;"corvettes from llourdeaux,
for the same reason (having a reference to the
former words, € from what I haVe since learned')
I. also believe,that the ships we fell in with, after
bearing up froM the enemy, were an I;tiglish con-
voy."—The ships alluded to in the beginning of
the paragraph Were those seen at daylight on the
1 lth of March, which were immediately lost sight
of from the fog and drizzling .rain. And as I ne-
ver boreup from the enemy until an hour and a
half after midnight, it is , obvious that the ships
alluded to in the conclusion of the above para-
graph, had a reference to those only seen on the
weather quarter at that time,_ and not to chose on
the lee quarter that had been crowding all sail af-
ter the Pompee for an hour before, and from which
I bore up gradually, as. already observed in my
narrative. ,Whether they were friends or fins was
then, and I believe is still problematical,' notwith-
standing what has been- reported in various quar-
ters, and from which 'reports only, as implied in
the said paragraph of my letter, I was led to 1)07
lieve the possibility of their being a convoy. I aim
aware, however, that there mai have been in the,
structure, of the concluding paragraph, a want of
precision and accuracy of expression-so as to ren—
der the sense, if taken 'partially, ambiguous, but
on comparing them -with the context of my letter,
lam confident the Court' will discern :their 'true
meaning. and import td 'be as I have just explained.
