vessel atitlboat leitMnriti theharbouri arti re-
cesses of the• piraviial porrettrers who have so long
annoyed and- intertioted , the metcharo)ite 'of this
Coast. The iebsequent attack on the fort'of Bate,
while it displayed the most heroic anti determined
courage of the small party by whom it was undo.-
taken, was at last obliged to be abandcined, from
the advantageotw position of a 'numerous enemy,
Who could not, however, prevent our Troops from a
regular and orderly retreat, and even keeping them
in;check while they withdrew.
The first service performed by the ships was on
fhe 28th' of February, under the. walls of the castle
of Bete -Ward, where they effeded an anchor.
age through the narrow channel between the.
Point of Somia bland, and Sandy.pointof Artura
bland. In,thia. passage the enemy fired at the
slsiv.. frlm 'a gun oa a little sandy hillock to the.
narom:iTa ofßate Town, and afterwards from
another goo 66. the Opirnsiie. 'shore.. The gun
the Artura shore was silenced after a few shot from.
-the.shios, while' the other continued, and lodged
oncshot under the main chains, and another cut
the main.cop.sail sheer of, the Ternate. A third
gun afterwards opened from a rocky above
the Fort, close to the water side bete, however,
the ~ships anchored,- and. heaving opened a' heavy
fire on the bill, the Enemy were 6oan•obliged to
desert the pOst. The Trignmcuth . and Pattamor
anchored abreast the Fort, and opened a fire on
it. Boats 'manned and armed were theta dispatched
to burn some boats hauled up under. the rocky
hills; While the ships kept firing in such diredions
on .the fort and hill as were calculated to cover
the hoats, which soon returned, after. performing
the service, without los;:. boats were again
dispatched to des4oy several more vessels hauled up
tonler the walls of the fort, while the fire from the
shies was direaed at the fort, to cover the opera.
tion.of the boats. At this time the enemy opened
and kept up a very heavy discharge of musquetry
on the party belonging 'ft.) the boats, 'who, notwith..
standing,. proceeded in their objen of burning the
vessels; cunsistiog of one brig and twenty.two or
twenty.three small craft of various descriptions.—
In This service one than belonging to the Fox was
killed,- and four wouoded. Me. Prlita RAft4lllll,
and Atlints Lientenan:.MatYCHAN, Were of the
number of the latter. .
On the ist of Match -another dispatch of .boats
was ordered to destroy six or seven vessels still re.
maining under the walls of the fort. The enemy
opened their fire of mosquetry and one gun ; but
the service was performed by burning, all the craft
to be„fond under the tort, which, inciuding those
destroyed on the last occasion., makes the number
of thirty vessels, of various descriptions ; several
of the turn were .here wounded..,
After cruizing for' some. time off the' island's, it
was resolved to, make an attack on the fort of
Bate, ilea for that purpose, the shipt staving conic
to an anchor under the;valls, a raft was c,ustru&ed

was-opposed from the ships 'keeping a einstent and
