Sir—l have to requeft on will be pleated to in-
form my Lords Commiffioners of the Admiralty,
that conformably to my Letter of yefterday'a date,
I flood through the Streights, with his Majefly's
fquadron under my orders, with the intention of
attacking three French line of battle (hips and a
frigate, that I bad received information of being at
anchor off Algeciras: on opening Cabareta Point,
I found the fhips lay at a conliderable diftance
from the enemy's batteries, and having a leading
wind up to them, afforded every reafonable hope
of fuccefi in the attack. I had preirionflydireded
Captain HOOO, in the Vasaaascs, from his ex-
perience sud knowledge of the anchorage, to lead
the fquadron, which he executed with his aceuf-
corned gallantry, and although it was not intended
he fhould anchor, he found hitrifelf under the ne-
ceffity fo to do, from the winds failing, (a circtun-
fiance to 'quell to be apprehended in this country)
and to which circumthince I have to regret the
want of fuccefs in this well-intended enterprise ;
Captain &mitotic anchored oppofite to the inner
(hip of the enemy, and brought the Ponies to
adion in the molt fpirited and gallant manner,
which was alfo followed by the Commanders of
every fhip in the (quadrat. Captains Dater and
Feasts, owing to light winds, were prevented for
a conficierable time from coming into anion : at
length the Hanntias getting a breeze, Captain
Fatten had the mat favourable profped of being
alongfide one of the enemy's flips, when the HAN-
N'S/IL unfortunately took the around, and I am
extremely concerned to acquaint their Lordfhips,
that after having made every poffible effort with
this (hip and the AUDACIOUS' to cover her from
the criemy, I was under the neceffity to make fhil,
being at the time only tares cables length from
one of the enemy's batteries. My thanks are par-
ticularly due to all the Captains, Officers, lend
Men, under my orders; and akhongh their en-
deavours have not been crowned with (weds, I
truft the thoufan'cls of fpedators from his Majelly's
garrifon, and alfo the furrounding coati, will do
inflict to their valour and intrepidity, which was
not tale checked by the fire from the numerous
batteries, however formidable, that furround Al-
geciras. 1 feel it iitcazobcat upon,mc to Mats to

theiiiettlfitipt the great merit, of Captain
TO, ,of the Caste, whole cool judgment 1
trepid conduce, I will venture to pronounce
never furpalted. I alfo beg leave to recbmi
to their Lordfhips notice my Flag-Lieutenant,
Mr. Pamir Dumaiteso, who has ferved with me
from the commencement of this war, and is a molt
decrying officer. Mr. LAIIIIIOIINi and the othzr.
Lieutenants are alfo entitled to great praife, as
well as Captain Maxwatt of the Marines, and
the officers of his corps ferving on board the Cs
sea. The enemy's (hips confined of two of eighty-
four guns, and one of feventy-four, with a large
frigates two of the former are aground, and the
whole are rendered totally unferviceable. I can
not clofe this letter without rendering the moil
ample 'alike to the great bravery of Captain Pea.
tits lots in his fhip mull have been very con-
i
fiderab both in officers and men ; but I have
Ilse fatisfaftion to be informed, that his Majefly
has not 101 l fo valuable an officer. (Signed)

Tisk Honourable Captain DI/NDAS, of his Ma-
jelly's Polaem the Ca.t.ra, made his veffel as ufe-
ful as poffibte, and kept up a fpirited fire on one
of the enemy's batteries. I have alio to exprefs
my approbation of Lieutenant JANVFRIN, Com-
mander of the gun-boats, who having joined me
with intelligence, ferved as a Volunteer on board
the Cmsaß.

Algeziras, July 7, aor.
Sir—l have little more to tell you of the fate of
his Majefty's (hip HANNIBAL than yourfelf mule
have obferved, only, that from the number of bat-
teries and (hips, gun-boats, &c. we had to encoun-
ter, our guns foon got knocked ix? ; .and I found
it was impoffible to do any thing either for the pre-
fervation of the (hip or for the good of the fervice,
our boats, fails, rigging, and fprings, being all
(hot away, and having fo many killed and wound-
ed, which will appear by the annexed lilt, I
thought it prudent to arike, and thereby prefcrve
the lives of the brave men that remained.
Had I been fuccefsful in the view before me,
previous to the (hip's taking the ground,• my
praifes of the condua of my officers and ffiip's
company could not have exceeded their merits;
but I have,notwithaanding,the fatisfaaion to

that every order was obferved and carried into
execution with that promptitude and alacrity be-

By the .late India arrivals, were teceited the

formed by the boats of the fquadron under Capt.
Hornaa, fruiting off the Ifle of France, in cut-
ting out of the inner-harbour, the (hip Sea Nymph;
,under Hamburgh colours. e, This fhip was dif-
covered by the fquadron early in the morning
clofe under Cannoneer's Point, with light airs of
wind off the land ; and notwithaanding every
exertion of each fhip, they could not prevent her
from getting clofe under the batteries ; although
the LANCASTER fired feveral broadfides at her ;
(he was fupported by a number of fhot from the
fhore, and the boats fions the privateers in the
harbour towed her into filcher about noon.
Captain Horinsm was determined not to part
with her,notwithilanding they had fucceeded fo fat
as to get her into the inner harbour, protefted by
a chain of batteries and three privateers, ready for
fea. At runlet the boats of the fquadron were
hoifted out, well manned and armed, with ',ohm-
..

teers; but notwithltanding every precaution was
ufed to prevent the enemy from perceiving our
intentions, it was Coon made known to the Cap-
tain of the port, that the Englilh had their boati
out, and fuppofed for the purpofe of cutting out
this Chip. In confequence of which a party of
forty foldiers was fent on board her front the
Ihore, and all the batteries manned, ready to pre-
vent a firrprift ste.the fame time three boats were
ordered from port to tdw her Qill farther up the
harbour.

" It appear fron the Supercargo's account,
that he was ordeied to gb on board his (hip by the
Municipality, Intl as it was dark, when he found
his (hip sn imlfeCGOn of French troops, and the
boats in the ail of towing her farther up ; that he
had not been on board more than Ei trunntei, be.

kt.led or wounded. 'They inltaintly citt the rope,
by which the French boats were towing, and fent
their own boats in their (lead. •

" They towed the. fhip's head round, and made
fail on her, the wind being dime nut; upon which
