C4)py of a Letter from Lieutenant Simmonds, commanding
his Majesty's Gun-vessel Attack, addressed to Rear-A:tin:a-
ril Foley, and trayrimitted to John Wilson Croker, Esq.
His Majesty's Gun-brig Attack, Dover-Roads,
Slit, July 5, 1812.

It is with much satisfaction I have the honour
to inform you, that in executing your orders to
cruize in his Majesty's brig wider my .command,
for the protection of 'trade and the annoyance of
the enemy, at six P.M. yesterday evening, Calais
Cliff bearing S. by E. four miles, .1 observed a
transport gaiiiot, a Sloop, and privateer,- coming
out of Calais harbour, and endeavouring to run
along ashote : perceiving this to be 'their inten-
tion, and knowing that the shoving a disposition
to make au immediate attack would cause them all
to put back, or run their vessels onshore, I made
- sail to windward, in the hope of decoying them
so far from their own shore as to be able to cut
them off. Judging this to be the proper oppor-
tunity for such an attempt, I immediately made
all sail in shore, and at half-past eight, manned
and sent the gig away, with. six men, under the
direction of Mr. Couney, the -Second Master, stilt
keeping his Majesty's brig towards the enemy.—
At twelve, there being light airs, -and within
half gun-shot of the enemy's shore, the Second
Master discovered the galliot in tow of the pri-
vateer.

Mr. Couney, undaunted by such an unequal
force, and under the galling' fire of their musketry,
iminediately boarded the transport, while on the
other side she was boarded by the privateer's men ;
lout on the Second Master's having killed one of

Lcr, SIXPNc;r,- :ItALPPINNY:

t;:eir men in boarding* they thought it prudent to
desist, and sheer off, leaving the boat's crew in
possession of their prize. \ She proves to be the
transport galliot No. 637, of two- hUndred and
,fifty7ki,z tons burthen,:manned with Sixteen men,
and armed with muskets ; the privateer was armed
rtVith as six-pounder, swivels, cohort's, and mus-
ketry, and a complement of thirty men, com-
manded by Lieutenant de VaisseauGrothe.
It is with'great p!casure I have to state, -that it
has pleased God to spare the lives of the
.little
crew of his. Majesty's•brig engaged in this contest,
who ,have escaped; to a man, unhurt.
The gallantrydisplayed by Mr.•Couney and the
men employed .with him- merits eny approblatiort
that can -be bestowed on them, for, 'independent
-pi' the fire of the enethy's musketry, the Vessel
was expoSed to-the batteries, ,ivhich kept up nfire
itound and grape upon them.. From his Ms.-
jety's brig !icing .becalmed fr-Qm the time the
`boat shoved off, I was unable to close' with then:l;
my anxiety *as great forth-t fate of the people,
but from my knowledge of Mr. Couney's conduct,
since he.h.as been with me, I had great confidence
in him. .

,
I I cannot- conclude mentioning the
Steady conduct of my officers and men throughqut
the whole.or the affair ; and had we'been N
Luiate as to have -bad a breeze, we, no doubt,
have captured the whole..
I liaye the honour to be; &c.
