have so,long been blockaded in Cherbourgh put to
sea in the morning of the 27th, at a moment when
our two blockading ships, the Donegal and Reveng
were a few miles to the northward of the port.. They

day off "Cape La, Hogue, standing down Channel.

graph to the Admiralty, and dire&ioni immediately

the Port, and the. Hero and .Mars dispatched in-
stantly from Shithead off the •port to prevent their
return, they. must, have extraordinary good luck if
they escape. '
