11R,

I have the honour to encloJe, for the infdroiation
of the Lords C,,nimissiorters of the Admiralty, three
Letters relative to the capture of His ►Mdjesty`i
Shin Cleopatra, on the trit of February la,t, by
the French Frigate La Ville de Milan, after a very
severe aCtion.

Their Ludships will with pleastire nbgerve how
fortunate the: Leander has been in rilling in With
both ships, taking La Ville de Milan, and to.
taking the Cleopatra.
langtrageof Mine tan do sufficient justice to
the pergeverance in the chace, and <4 conduitt
of Sir Rob,,rt Lawrie, Bart. his Officers, and you.ng
ship's company, in the anion with the Enetny,
which will ever refikt the highest ltonnur on them;
when their' Lordships consider the superiority Of
the ships and men,

I cannot .omit, at the same tithe to give Tull
credit to the zeal shewn by ttie Dander's ship's
company, and with what alacrity ant) anxious wish
(Capt. Talbot reports to me) they she wed to engage
both the Frigates then in the Haie, anti under
French colours, when the Leander bore up to, place
herself between theni to bring tl•etts to, anion : from
the high opinion I ha we of the (Acers, and t he lani_
form and steady condmq and di•cipline of the men,
I trust they would have given a good account of
t, hem.

The ,Cleopatra` sailed for Halifax the 18th inst.
under the charge of Capt. Sir Robert Lawrie, for
the purpose of being valued and refitted as soon as
possible.
La Ville de Milan I.shall take to Halifax with
the Squadron. :1;:te is a' very fine Frig:tie., the
largest' class, only one year old the ttity of the action,
and completely fit for His Nil,ijei,tY'l,Sery ice in every
rostra, ekcept the damage &lie received in her mdstsi
yard, &c. in the 'a4ion, having also a great qtian.
iity of spare stores on board. I thertfore trust
their Lirdships will give the necessary orders t.Fr
her being purchased into His Majc,ry', Service. I
shall.take,upon me to direct the C Jo.

.King.of France's Service as an Auxiliary Officer.
Hi sailed in La Ville de Milan from L'Otient, the
first of but August, as Commodore of six of their
largest Frigates, with Troops embarked on board'
them, to be landed on the Island of Martinique.
After having performed this service, he was order.
cd, as the -French (Accra express it, to make a
sweep through the Islands.
Mons. Outlier, Capitaine de Frei ire, anti Second
Captain of La Ville de Milan, commanded when
she struck to us, anti Mons. Carron, her Second
Lieutenant, had the command of the Cleopatra.
it is tint ;Invisible for Officers to speak in stronger
terms than the French Officers do in praise of Sir
I,:nbert Lawrie's perseverance in so long a chace,
except it is in the praise they. bestow on him, his
Officers, Seamen, and Marines, for their gallant
*condod during so long and severe an Anion.'
It is a very painful part of my duty to be
obliged to inform you, Sir, that your eldest son,
who was doing duty as an Ailing -Lieutenant, is
included among the number jaatlly wounded on
board the Cleopatra : as soon as the weather ad.
mined of his being removed, I had him brought on
board this ship, and I have great pleasure in telling
you he is much recovered ; and from the experience,
great care and attention, of Mr. Clifford, Surgeon
of the Leander, I have every reason to believe that
you will, •in a short space of time,, have the satis.
taetion of finding him once more gallantly exerting
himself for the honour, and in the defence of his
King and Country. Sir Robert.La.wrie speaks in
the highest terms of his condutt, and indeed of all
she Officers, Seamen, and Marines of His Majesty's
Ship Cleopatra..
Sir Robert has, at my request, been so kind as
to take charge of the Cleopatra till she arrives in
port. I have given Mr. Nairne, First Lieutenant
of Ilis Ntijesty's Ship Leander, charge of La Ville
tie Milan. The lettgth of time be has had the ho.
none to serve under your Flag would make it super.
fluous in me to attempt to point out to you, Sir,
his meritorious services and abilities as an Officer.
The only comment I can make on his conduit ;on
this occasion is, that nothing can exceed the cur.
flops he has made in putting La Ville de Milan in
a seaworthy state..
The alacrity of the Officers, Seamen, and Ma.
Tines of His Majesty's Ship under my 'command
&Alt, the chace, anti their steadiness on going
down to attack the two Frigates, who had closed,
in appearance with a determination to make a for.
Midable resistance, convinced me, Sir, that had
they waited to make the resistance they scented dis.
posed to do, the Leander would not have sullied her
good Milne..
I have the Honour to be, &c.

SIR,
I have .the honour to send you enclosed a Letter I
this day received from Sir Robert Lawrie, Bart.--
Front the 'statement made therein, you will find;
Sir, that the credit of the British Flag has seldom
been more honourably and gallantly supported than
on the present occasion; and the French Officers,
whom I have prisoners on hoard this Ship, cannot
themselves avoid to acknowledge, that had not the
Cleopatra unfortunately forged ahead of La Ville
de Dildan, the latter part of the Aetion, La Ville de
Milan must have surrendered to the Cleopatra.

ills Majesty's Ship Cleopatra, at Sea, Feb. zs,

SIR,
I have to request that you will be pleased to ac.
quaint the-Commander in
,Chief, that on Saturday
the 16(11 inst. in 124 28 deg. N. long. 67 deg. W.
at t,!rt A'. M. saw a Ship in the S. E. standing to the
E. N. E. the wind at N. W. made sail towards her ;
at eleven perceived the chace to be a large,Frigate,
with is ports of a side on the main-deck; cleared
Ship for action, and 'Misted American Colours to
induce him to bring to for us ; but instead of which,
he, made more sail ; the weather squally ; made and
shortened • sail occasionally ; carried away several
studding sail.yards, and the f4etop.mast studding-
sail hucim, shifted over the starboard one, and set
the reeled lower studding.sail,; a good deal of
swell ; the chace apparently steering so as to keep
'the studding-sails drawing full ; and that at daylight
on the 17dt, was about four miles a head ; fresh
breezes and swell as before. At half past ten he
took in his studding sails, anti hauled more up ; tvhen
we got within about three quartets of a mile took
in oars also. At half past eleven he hauled his
mainsail up, and kept more to the wind ; upon 'our
steering to close with him upon his quarter, he
again set it and staysails, trying to van the wind of
(*son which point availing he had the advan.
sage) ; we made all sail, the chace having some time
before hoisted French Colours, and we ours. On
his seeming to draw ahead from us, at the distance
'• of abOot half a gun.sltot, tired Our bow chasers,
which he retutned occasionally from his stern. His
• guns appearing so well direEted, and of so heavy
,metal, that to prevent being raked by ahem, I was
obliged to steer so as to keep on his quarter, though.

min. N. lung. 64 deg. zo min. W. At halt past
two P.M. having' got within about a cable's length
from the Enemy, he lulled close to the wind, and
gave us two broadsides, 'which, when at lest than
Italia cable's disrance, we returned, and a warm ac.
don Commenced, both ships trimming sails, steering
sometimes close to the wind, and at others about
three points free, during which we had eunsidera.
1)1y the advantage. About five, having shot away
topsaii_yard, we fmged ahead, although
the mizen topsail was squared, and both jib, stay,
a gone ; finding neither fore nor ain
• nd haulyards
doe.g4rnets left to ;
haul the courses up, our mrun.
sling rigging 'cut to pieces, so as to render it im.
piosible to either shorten or back a sail,
mainmaand both
snails and spring stays were shot away, the st
.only kuppnrred by the 'storm staysail...stay, I wassane
ti.lure.!to cross his bow, and, by hauling up,
raked in preference to exposing our stern to

the fire ofis:pieces' dt cannon from his broadside ; '
but in the act of Whith an unfortunate shot struck
the whets, the btoken spokes were jammed.against
the d'eck at) as to render it immoveable, as well as
the rudder, which, at the same time, was choaked in
the end by splinters, pistols, &c. placed near it. Oar
opponent, availing himself of our ungovernable
tuation, with the wind upon his'quarter, gave us the
stern, running his head and hawsinit over our quar-
ter.deck, just abaft the main rigging, and, under
the cover of a very heavy fire from muskets and
musketoons, attempted to board es, but. was drove
back; we exchanged a few musketry with them
but their great advantage in height and suaeriarity
of numbers, as well as by the musketoons from their
tops, cleared our decks, and in at our ports. The
only two guns we could bring to bear being fired
from within board, 'did them little injury, the shot
passing- through their lower deck. Most of our
sails laying a.shiver, or partly a-back, and bore
down by so heavy a ship, (having been intended for
a 74) going almost before the wind, and much sea
running, appearing to cut us asunder at every send,
I saw no prospeft of saving this ship, or the lives of
the numerous wounded that then were below ; on
the suggestion of the First Lieutenant we attempted
to hoist the fure.topmast staysail, and I diretted the
spritsail.topsail to be stl'a also ; but, in the caeca.
Lion of which orders, every man was knocked
down by their musketry and other small shut, as
they made their appearance. At a quarter past five
they succeeded in boarding, and I was compelled to
surrender to the French Frigate La Ville de Milan,
of 46 guns, French eighteen.poundersaon the main.
deck, and eights on the quarter.deck and for castle;
aso men, besides several Officers and Passengers ;
commanded by Monsieur Reynaud, Capitaine de
Vaisseau, and Monsieur Gunter, Capitaine de Fre.
gate ; the former was killed, and the latter badly
wounded in the aelion, aad immediately afterwards
the Cleopatra become a perleet wreck, not a spar
standing but the 'mizeta mast, the bowsprit and
other masts gone by the board,. and I—fully ex.
petted she would have foundered before both ships
could get clear of each other. I trust it will
be found, that every exertion was made to
bring a ship of so superior a force into attion, ff
and in maintaining of it. La Ville de Milan
is nearly dauble our size and force, being a new
Ship of about twelve hundred tons burthen, and
having almost twice our number of. men on board,
as we only mustered at quarters one hundred and
ninety.nine, being ten short of compalnent, and
that from the strength of the Ship's Company in
able seamen, and there were several in the sick list.
From Lieutenant Balfour I received every assist-
ance, as from a good and zealous Officer, as also
from Lieutenants Kinsman and Crooke, and Lieu.
tenant &wen, of the Bermuda, who kept up a well.
direeted fire,trom the main deck, and Mr. Mitchell,
Midshipman and Ading.Lieutenant, from the quar-
ter deck, at which Lieutenant Appleton, of.the Ma.
tines, assisted, having no men to spare fur small
arms, but was wounded early. The steady and
cool conduCt of Mr. Bett (the Master) confirmed
what I had always expeeted• from him : to gu fur.
ther in particularizing individuals would be too te-
dious ; but I think it my duty to mention Mr.
M'Carthy's (the Boatswain) condutt, who is badly
wounded, was highly spirited and active; and more
gallantry and bravery could not have been displayed
than by both Officers and Men of so young a Ship's,
Company, many being under twenty years of age,
and only three Marines who had joined that corps
more than two weeks before they were embarked.
I have no hesitation in saying, that had not the
above unlucky accident occurred, she must have
struck Ur us, as the next .morning her foremast and
bowsprit were the only masts standing, much cut
in the hull, and I counted eleven shot in the
wreck of her main.anast ; that our twelve.pounders
could nut do justice too from its size, nor the thick.
nese of her sides, that was so well intended.
beg most earnestly to solicit Sir/Andrew Mitchell's
patronage in favour of Messrs. Howes and Ridge.

and promising young men, having considerably
more than served their time, and passed for Lieu-
tenants ; their condutl on this occasion, as well as
for several years before, with me, has been much to
my satislaftion, and, in my humble opinion, to en.
title them to promotion, as well as fur Mr. Balfour,
the First Lieutenant ; and you, Sir, must be the beat
judge et the situation we had reduced the French
Ship to, so as to render her chance of escape from
our numerous Cruizers almost an absolute impossibi.
