French Imperial brig Griffon, commanded by Mons.
Jacques Gautier, Lieutenant de Vaisseau, mounting
fourteen 14-pounder carronades and two long sixes,
manned with 105 men:, She appears a very fine
vessel, quite new, and, in my opinion, well adapted
for his Majesty's service.
In justice to the French c9mmander; I cannot omit
saying he sustained and returned our fire for thirty
minutes, with much gallantry and perseverance, not
striking his colours till we had run him within half a
cable's length of the breakers off the Cape, and the
,Bacchante then not her length from him.
I have reason to be well satitfied on'this as every
ether occasion, of the steady conduct of the officers
and men I have the hononr to command, and am
happy to add we had no person hurt in this affair ;
the enemy had five wounded.
