atia Mr. teivatt's tomitilt :*ett of the giTat64t
assistance to me.

Lieutenant J. Weeks, czniihanding tlicGroivler
gun-brig,•:made every effort that vessel was capa-
ble of to.render assistance, and sheaved a perfect
readiness to execute the few directives 1.-had:oc-
casion to give him.. .
I should rejoice, Sir, if I were able to close this
hartative without adding a report of loss and in-
jury sustained ;: but neither you, nor any 'Other
authority to -whom you may communicate 'it; will.
expect that ;a-ship should- have: been so.long at
different periok.underthe_fire of the enemy's va-
rious, batteries and vessels without 'some loss-; and
I am thankful it is not greater than , is; expressed
in-,the report- I have the honour to inclose,: With
-a statement of the damages the ship bas.sustained,
which is little in the hull, but more in the masts,
yards, and rigging.; and I. am glad to say, the
officer wounded_ (namely, Lieut, Wm. Fletcher)
will soon be-restored.

A .lir; of bittle ship, with sails bent and top-,
gallant-yards across, lay in the harbour of L'Orient,
specator of tht operations of the day, at the en-
trance of. it ; but the wind did not serve till night
for- her coining to the support .of her friends : every
assistance, however, was afforded- them of boats,
men, kke". from the port, directed, as I apprehend,
by the Admiral in person.
. I have the houour to be, Bx.c. -
