..of His Ilityesty's Ship and lessels at Jamaica,
to Willie:vs Mariden, El.. dated at Port Royal,
the loth Of August, 1.804.
SIR,

You. will herewith receive, for the -information
• of the Lords Commissioners of the.Admiralty,' the
copies of two Letters, reciting• the rapture of the
,Hitondelle 'and Vautour French Privateers by His
Mljesty's Ships, Tartar and FOrttlflee ; the former
of which,4 trust, their LOrdships will think -with
me does high honour to the Officers and Crews of
the Tartar's boats,' for their :undaunted spirit and
perseverance.

I am, &c. J. T. DUCKWORTH. r
His Majesty's Ship Tartar, ofir St. Da.:
SI.R, Itthigo, Aug. 1, 1894.
I have the honour 'to acquaint you, that, yester.
.day morning,
,at dawn, 'standing, into, leeward of
Saoria, a small:Sail was discovered front the mast
heads, to which I immediately gave chase, keeping
as'close to leeward of the Island as possible, in order
to prevent her escape that way, knowing the
Channel be.tween that Island .(Sauna) .and St. Do. ,
ming°, to. be very narrow and ,intricate even fur
small vessels. - About seven the chase was made oat
to be a Schooner full of men; using her sweeps and
every means pOssible to get' Off; from which cir-
cumstance supposing her to he a Privateer, and per-
ceiving her intention of attempting- to escape
through the liefore-mentioned Channel, I -made all
.possible sail, and at eight o'clock got her within .
reach of the guns, which, froM the short tacks I
..was obliged to make,. was prevented from using to
that advantage, and effeet I could have wished with-
out losing ground, therefore, though several shot
went over, and through her sails, she still perse.
vete/I. in beating •to windward until she had ad.
.vanced near the centre of The Change!, where, tind.
'into it impossible to proceed further, she came to
an anchor under a reef of rocks, at which dm; (ten
in the forenoon), having heat the Ship up into six
fathoms water, but deeming it imprudent to proceed
further, and finding it would be almost impossible ,
to destsoir the vessel with the,great guns, not being
able to anchor, or to bring the broadsides to bear to
advantage, from the short tacks we were obliged to
make, without hazard to the ship; yet, judging it
of importance to take or destroy the vessel by some
means or other, I immediately hoisted three boats
nut, and sent them manned anti armed under the di-
redion of Lieutenant Mullah (Second Lieutenant),
assisted by Lieutenant . Lockyer (Third), with se-
veral Midshipmen, all Volume:la on the occasion.
• The instant the briar put off from the Ship, the
,SchoOner hoisted French Colours, fired a gun, and ,
warped her broadside towards them ; as the boats
advanced', the Privateer commenced firing grape
from her, great guns, and on their, nearer approach
opened a fire of musketry ; yet notwithstanding,
and a strong sea breeze against the boats, Lieu.
tenant Mullah, in the most intrepid and gallant
manner possible, pulled up in the face of several
discharges of grape, and a heavy fire of musketry
from fifty men drawn up round the deck, boarded
and carried her. It is impossible to speak too
highly, or sufficiently to express my sense of the
bravery and intrepid coniltift of Lietuenants" Mullah
and Lockyer, as well as the Petty Officers Seamen,
and Marines employed under them; considering the
disadvantage under which they were obliged to
'attack, 'and ;the preparation the'Enetny halt made
for defence, being nearly noon day ; nor can I tiro
much commend the spirit and alacrity with which
titer volunteered their services on theoteation; as
well as the whole of the Ship's.company.
I am happy ,to add, that only two men were
wounded, one ,-seaman and one marine (liadl)`).;
the French lostmine.killed and six'woundeil, besides
'three missing, supposed to helve" been drowned in
attempting to. swim :on 'shore.; the wounded I sent
to St. Domingo by a flag of truce this morning.
'Phe remainder I keep on board, there being no' ,
English.pristmera•to excliange'in lieu. The,PfMl-
- proves to be the Hirondelle, Captain La Plate,
with to' 4.pounders and fifty men, . and two days
out from St. Domingo. She had-run most of the
last war, and all the present, frequently chased, but
from her fast sailing.always waited.
