liis"patches fromthe Governor of &limos Ayre's,
to the • Superior Government, concerning the ac-
tion of the 4th inst. *ilk the MOutei!idean
rime in this port.
Immediatelv that the ships of the flying
squadron had sailed from
.the place at which it
which it was anchored, against, this. port, the bat-
teries of the. Mole and Royal Fortress were rnan-
ne6l, and all the means of precaution and de-'
fence adopted, ordered. by your Excellency.—;•
When the enemy *ere under sail, and opposite
the Moir Battery, they might have been attacked
with adyantage ; but as your Excellency,
.in con-
sequeme of that moderation. Which governs your .
yesolutions, and in, the conception that the nego-7
ciations with Monte Video were still pending, had
particularly ordered not to give the least sign
of hostility. Whilst,the enemy did not commenda
their fire, that opportunity of punishing their
boldness was lost, and their vessels, without thd
least obstacle, anchored in line.

" Their manoeuvres concluded; without sending
a flag of- truce, without giving any intimation
or making any of there communications, biff
therto- practised even by savage nations, out
of respect to humanity, previous to commencing
hostilities, they opened a fire from yen Shim,
of which their squadron was composed. The .
batteries from -the Mole and fortress, together
with the fire from the ketch and gun-boats, re-
plied to them. The action commenced ; the en-
,thnsiasm of the people was incredible. An inere-
dible number ran to assist in mounting two
eighteen pounders, which they carried- by main
force to -the edge of the water, where they re-
mained all the time that this new battery fired,
fully seizing the opportunity of shewing the .
contempt with which, they viewed the 'impotent
efforts of the tyrants. The intention of the enemy •
was to take or burn the ketch, which they always
found.filled with citizens ; but at last, finding their
designs rendered abortive, they immediatly made
a signal, and .tied with that rapidity which is so • ;
common in the Spanish marine ; the action
lasted nearly an
.hour, without suffering any loss
on our part; netwithstanding the number_ of per
who witnessed the scene, and who, Aviih
laudable serenity, collected the balls fired at as. •
A-ladder, and some pieces of wood, which were
thrown on . shore, indicate the loss which tbo
enemy suffered. The intelligence which we received .
from the ships nearest the enemy, state that the loss
of men in their largest ships has been great, espe"
-cially in the Cisrie. It is believed that they
will not again make any attempts against a place_
which has on all Occasions repelled those, who
with hostile dispositions here decreed to- plaet
themselveS•upon our banks, or tread our shores.
