" COTTENSURGH, SEPT. S.

" The Russian fleet sailed from Hang° Roads on
the 25th of August, and were pursued by the Swedish
squadron, which had been joined by Sir SAmm,
Hooq with the CENTAUR and IMPLACABLE, who, from
superiority of sailing, brought the sternmost of the
enemy's ships to action, when she soon struck, but
was rescued by the whole Russian force standing back
to her -assistance ; she was afterwards attacked by the
CENTAUR, and carried by boarding, in the most gal-
lant manner ; but being aground, was obliged, after
taking out the prisoners and wounded, to be set on
fire : she was called the Lewalod, of 74 guns. The
remainder of the Russian fleet took shelter in Roger-
wick, or Baltic Port. Admiral Sir JAMES SAumAau
has also joined the Swedish fleet."

and the rear of the Russians ; a Russian, of 84 guns,
was brought into action by the IMPLACABLE, of 74,
to whom she struck, but afterwards- rehoisted her
colours. She was boarded by the CENTAUR, who
put 500 of her men to the sword for their cowardly
conduct. The Russians seeing their fate, fled, and
got into a port in the Baltic."
