Copy of a letter transmitted by Via-Admiral

Christiansand4 June 20.

SIR—I beg leave to acquaint you, that in his Ma.
jesty's sloop Seagull, under my command, yester-
day, at 2 P.M. the Nase of Ncrway bearing W.N.W.
seven or eight leagues, I discovered a brig in shore
running to the Eastward, and immediately made all
sail in chace of her. At half-past four came within
gun-shot, and hoisted our colours, which she answered
by hoisting Danish colours, and opening her fire on
the starboard side. At this time it became nearly a
calm from a fresh breeze we had at W.S.W. and
obliged us to get our sweeps out, in order to get be-
tween her and the shore. At five got within musket
shot of the enemy, and commenced action ; having
now most of our sweeps shot away, and great part
of the rigging. Twenty minutes past five, we dis-
covered several gun boats coming towards us, which,
had keen concealed behind the rocks ; and it being a
perfect calm, they had every advantage they could
wish in placing them. They took their position on
each quarter, raking us every shot, whilst the brig
bad the same advantage on the larboard bow. At
half-past six, five of our carronades were dismounted
on the larbu.rd-side (the only side we could bring to
hear on the enemy), and several of the offcers and
crew killed and wounded. Every method was used
co get the Seagull round, so as to bring the starboard
auns to bear, Int without effect : our sweeps being
all shot away, the gun-boats hulling us every shot
they fired, five feet water in the hold, and all our sails
and ri,.;ging cut to pieces. At half-past seven, from
the sinking state of the ship, also the great slaughter
made by the gun-boats, 1 considerei it an indispen-
..ble duty, for the preservation of the surviving offi-
cers and crew, to order the colours to be hauled down.
I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, there was suf-
ficient time to remove the wounded out of the Seagull
before she sunk. The tOrce opposed to her was the
Danish brig of war Lougen, mounting 20 guns,
eighteen long IR.pounders, and two long ti-pounders ;
six gun-boats, most of them carrying two '24-pound-
ers, and from fifty to seventy men each. The action
was fought close to the mouth of the harbour of
Christiansand.
I cannot speak in terms adequate to the deserts of
every oeicer and man under my command on this
trying occasion. I received that support from Mr.
Hatton, the First Lieutenant, I had every reason to
aspect from his general good conduct; and the offi-
cers and crew have my warmest thanks for their cool
and steady behaviour ; and I ccnsider it a duty I owe
them, to add, that never was more British valour dis.
played than on this occasion, although opposed to so
ver/s:perior a force.
The
enemy must have suffered very considerably,
hut I have not able to ascertain to what extent. Se.
weal of the Danes perished on board the Seagull, so
precipitately did she 1,43 down. I herewith send you
a Bit of the killed and wounded on board the said
sloop.-4 have the honour to be, &c.. (Signed)
ft, B. CATIWART, Commander.
