v. as loon tree-led, within three hundred yards of the
wails, by tilling up one empty tumbril arid amttiuni-
lion boxes with earth, and finifhing the reft with bags
of grain ; the two howitzers and a fix plunder were
then planted in a different direction. I was under
the neceffity of waiting till one o'clock of the next
day for ammunition and one hundred and fifty fepoys,
when we began an excellent fire, and by fix o'clock,
the breach was perfea ; not a moment was loft in
proceeding to the Itorm, and as we entered into the
breach, the garrifon retired by the India Ghur Gate.
I feel much pleafure in acknowledging, how much I
was obliged to Lieutenant Grant, of the 3d regiment
of the Bombay arm,. , who led the forming party at
Currawal, and to Lieutenant Alder, who came for-
ward as a volunteer. Lieutenant Purvis gave me
every ailillance as a Staff Officer ; and for Lieute-
nant Nichollon's fervice on this occalion, I am alfo
greatly obliged. The Europeans behaved with their
anal bravery, and the Seapoys with equal courage.
I fhould be prrud if his Excellency General Lake
would notice Corporals Crols and Hiflop ; they are
foldiers, who have dittinguilhed themfelves more than
once, and there are nor tan braver or better men in
the ad Company 2d Battalion of Artillery.

I have the honour to inform you of my arrival this
day off the Sand Heads, after having proceeded to
the Southward, in confequence of a letter received
the Ft. : !hilt, from the Chief Seeretary of Govern-
m•nt) acquainting me of a fufpicious veffel having
appe.ed off Vizagapatam, fuppofed to be the Na-
tional frigate Pfyche, and requetting, in the name of
his Excellency the Governor General in Council,
that I would either proceed towards that place, or
'alma/ire, as I might confider molt expedient to the
advantage of the public fervice ; I therefore thonght
that I fhauld not be exceeding the limits of your or-
ders by purfiting fuch a courfe as I conceived molt
probable of intercepting the Paid vette!, fhould the
be bound to the Northward and Eaftward.
On the 13th inflant, at fix A. M. in lat. 19. 35 N.
long. 85.25. E. I had the fatisfaaion to difcover three
fail at anchor under the land, who fhortly after weighed
and made fail to the Southward ; I plainly obferved
that one was a frigate, and the other two apparently
merchant (hips. I continued the chace until half palt
(even P. M. the follsming day, when coming up with ,
the flernmoft veffel, fhe proved to be the Thetis,
Country )hip, prize to the French frigate la Pfyche,
if thirty-lix guns, and two hundred and forty men,
ender the command of Captain Beageret, then a-head
at a that diftance. Finding the enemy had aban-
doned the Thetis, I left a midfhipman in charge, and
continued the chace after the frigate, then making off
under all fail ; at ten minutes paft eight commenced
clot., affirm, at the dillance of about half a cable's
!ength, and continued fo until half raft eleven, at
which time finding all our running rigging very much
cut up, hauled off to repair the fame. At midnight,
bete up to renew the conflict ; but juft as we were
about to recommence our fire, an Officer from the
enemy came or board to inform me, that Captain
BLitt/Fait, for humanity's fake for the remaining
furvivors, had 'truck, though he might have borne
the tontaft longer. During the action, we were
occafionally annoyed by the fire of l'Equivoque pri-
vateer, of to guns and 40 men, commanded by a
Lieutenant ; fbe proved to be the late Pigeon, coun-
try !hip, fitted out by Captain BIRGaRET as a priva-
teer ; which veffel, from failing very well, I am eon-
to acquaint you, effeeted her elcape in the
ccunfe of the night.
I beg leave to obferve, that the able fupport which
I received during the atlion, from Lieutenants
Doyle, Dawfon, Collier, and Davies, Mr. Finlayfon
the duller, and Lieutenant Afhmore of the Marines,
as well as the reit of the 'hip's company, who die
played the molt gallant and fpirited conduit on the
occallon, merits my warenell encomiums. I alfo feel
it a duty incumbent on me, to recommend Mr.
Doyle, my Firft Lieutenant, to your attention, for
his meritorious and exemplary behaviour throughout
the conteft. lam grieved to relate that Lieutenant
Dacron is dangeroufly wounded in the breall, with a
