The following h extra&-of •letter from on board
I' P.. M. S. Repulfe, off Ferrol, Avg. %, dos.
• " Lwrote yon on the zyth, by the Nile lugger, at
(14, liming our hating fallen in with and defeated
the Combined Fleets, on their return from the Well

Indies, and doubt not but particulars of the affirm
may be intereiting to von. We are led to• believe,
from the account of tile Spani(h officers who were
taken, that the Neptune, of 90 guns, a French fbip,
funk in the aetion, as fume of them tellify 'they faw
her go down, with all hands. They had been lying
to three days in the latitude we found them, waiting
to be joined by the fleet from Rochefort. They were
then to proceed to raife the blockade of Ferrol, take
our fleet, and proceed off Mem, to join the Breit
fleet ; forrnin.7 in the whole between 6o and 7o fail
of the line. 4

" On the sad, ar eleven o'clock, the Defiance
made fign'al for a grange fleet of twenty fail of the
Anfwered fignal for a general chace, and to
prepare for battle. .At twenty minutes after twelve,
anfwcred fignal to prepare to engage the enemy.
At twenty. minutes paR three, the Admiral made
fignal to form the line of battle in clofe order 'at
forty-four minutes paR three, to alter courfe to (tar-
board ; the enemy's fleet in line of- battle to wind-
ward ; at twenty five minutes pall four, answered
fignal to engage the enemy's centre. The Hero be-
ing the van, or leading (hip, opened her broadside
on the enemy ; the (hips engaging •as they came up
with them. -At ten minutes paft five; anfwered•fig-
nal to .(gage the 'ederny as dole as poffible ; at
forty-five minutes pan five, hovt all aback and be-
gan to engage the enemy ;at four-minutes paR feven
the Admiral made fignal to take poffeflion of a (hip
that had [truck ; faw a Spaniffi (hip, twonecked, to.
tally difmafted, btar up out of .the enemy's line and
fir ike her colours.; at fifty minutes pan'elght, e.eafed
firing ; at fifty-five minutes pall eight, recommenced
the a9ion, exchanged repeated and heavy broadficla
with the enemy. At
.two minutes pall nine, obferved
another two deck (hip, totally difabled; bear up out
of the enemy's line. and Ilrike her colours. •At
twelve-minutes pan rine; teemed tt.e guns ;
company at quarters during the night: •
• •
." July 23d. At twenty-cighe:minuto pan five;
the Admiral made fignal to know whether the: fleet
were in a condition to renew the engagement, which
was layered, I Yes', by every th ip but the Windfor
Celtic, whole foretop-ma was (hot away, her fore-
man badly wounded, and her (landing and running
rigging cut all to- pieces ; the Dragon towing her tip
into the fleet. At fix the enemy's fleet, twenty-nine
fail in number, lying to windward, repairing their
damages • our two frigates, with the two prizes, to
leereard Of the fleet. All the day of the 23d we
were employed in repairing our fails, &c. which
were very much damagedl.and, on the 24th, re-
pairing and plugging up the (hot holes in our
our bowlprit is• fprung, from one of the enemy's
(hot, which will fend us into port very loon, I am
afraid.
" Our (hip's company behaved very well indeed ;
they cheered almoft every brnadfide we fired and re-
ceived ; they, indeed, behaved far better than codld
be expected, confidering their being fo little time to-
gether, and all of them young men. We have re-
connoitred Ferrol, as we expeaed them to go. there,
but they were not there, and we have fent a (Lip to
look into Rochefort.. We have received intelligence
of a very rich convoy coming from the Weft Indies,
under convoy of two French 84's; we .are now
cruizing off Ca Ortega' to intercept them ; the
Admiral has realon to believe his information to be
corral ; I sincerely with we may give a good account
of them, as. they will in a great meafure make up
for our unfuccefaul cruizes before. The fleet at
Ferrol is fourteen fail of the line, ready for lea, and
feveral more in a [late of forwardnefs; The men in
the fleet are in high fpirits, and entertain very great
hopcs cf having another bruth with them. The
Admiral paid Captain GARDIi ea, of the Hero, a very
handfome compliment yefteiday be thanked him,
his officers, and (hip's company, for their gallant
conduit in leading the fleet into battle; in the very
great ftyle in which they engaged their opponent.
1 am forty to fay our lois has turned out much
greater than I led you to expels in my former letter.
" The Cyane (loop of war they captured in the
Well Indies, with her convoy, and a Spann. gal-
leon (hip of 30 guns, they retook from the Diana,
of 38 guns. The Sirius engaged the (hip which had
her in tow, and obliged her to call her off, but as the
was going to take poffeftion of her, two French (hips
(line of battle) bore down upon her, and obliged
her to relinquilh her well earned prize ; the ha two
millions fterling on board." ,
