aggression have 'nearly laid in ruins, We view the

common cause, and as the pfelude to it powerful
Confederacy, which is to rescue liurope from its
present degraded state.

SIR,

Herewith I transmit, for the information of the
Lords'Commissioners of the Admiralty, a Letter from
Captain Innes, of his Majesty's Sloop Rambler,.
'giving an account of the Capture of two Sloops of
the Enemy, and of having driven on shore the rest
of a Coasting Convoy at St. Giliies. I am, &c.

Sty,• . AugUst i 6, I SO4.

I have the Honour to acquaint you that, being
between the Isle'llieu and the Main, on the morn.
ing of the 7th instant, I observed nine Sail of Sloops
and Chasse Marco close in shore, steering to the
Southward and Eastward. About nine it fell calm;,
I then sent the
,Boats, under the command of Lieu-
tenant Foreman and Mr. Cox, ,Master's-Mte, to
takepossessiOn'of them ; hut, favoured by a light
air, they came to an anchor under the Battery of
St. Gillies, and within musket,shot of the shore ;
notwithstanding `which, two of 'the 'Sloops were
brought off, with great gallantry, under a smart fire
from field.pieces and musketty : the others cut their
cables, and ran aground so near to the Pier Head it
was impossible to get them off.
I have the Honour to, he, tice,
(Signed) THOMAS INNES.
