The fullowing is General DALRYMPLI'S official
account of the late attempt on Dominica

" Dominica, May aB, 1806.

o Sta—ln addition to the Information, cjntained in the putt-
feript to my letter of the asth latent, refpeding the mutiny of
the crew of the Dominica Marry. and of the projeded attack from
Guaddoupc upon the Carpals In Rofeau Bay, I have the ',feature
to ftatc, fur the information of the Commander of the Furces,that
the capture of the affallants has proved of more confcquenve. in a
public point of view. than was at &tit Imagined ; inahnuch as the
information obtained thffeby teems to &Mope a plan of a mcdl-
tatnd attack upon this colony, at Come future period ; anti the local
fituation of It, and the rank of one of the officers employed, teems
to countenance the idea.

s• At the time of the mutiny, the Wand was le-t without the im-
mediate procreation of any of our cruisers, and many very valuable
fugar Mips were moored in the Bay, and from the rpeedy re.ap•
pearance of the Dominica, not a doubt remained in my mind of the
mutineers having been addled, and of their being aflifted In, the at-
tempt upon them; and the Idea of this piece or complicated villainy
and harem-Is, fo repugnant to the fentiments of a Britt& feaman,
naturally excited feelings of indignation In every bre:ft. and called
for the exertion of meats, calculated to fruftrate the attempt, and
to get poffeMon, if poilible, of the mifereants, by whore infamy
It was desired, and who were ruppoled to be aiding in its execu-
tion. Being informed that the packet was one of the fafteit failt.s
In the terrier, and that her Commander was au enterprifing and
zealous man, and very defirous to afford any affiftance; but learn-
ing alfo that lie had only a crew of twenty-two men, includ:ng
boys, and perceiving likewife the enemy's vefkl. to be cr wded with
men, and furrounded by boats, I judged It advifeable to r -Inforco
her with troops; and from the 'mutual cfrainiftances of the cafe,
and ruccersftil refult withodt the fmalleft lots of blood, 1 truft my
mearores will niece the roucurreucc of the Commander of the
Forces. Aud here lconfiderlt too Janice to tile prompt, deter-
mined, and foldier like conduit of the officers and men rm.:toyed,
to Rate. that they were prineir:ny i Nitro • ',oral inn coo, ributing to
the (meth of tho enterprise. On board of the packet were 26 men
of the46th, and a j of the ,td \Vv... India regiment, under the com-
mand of Lientenai.t Waills, of the r..rmer
s. She had the good luck to be the only v ff,l which had the
heels of the enemy's (chooser; the conrequently brought her to
salon, and, after an engagement of three quarters of all hour,
within inflect and pittol Oat, fuececded In capt•-ring her. Ihe
packet. too, from her fuperlorlty ol faUl• g, and judicious morose •
vres, obliged the Dominica to airs r her sourfe, by which ihe was
thrown into the way of our of our Boor of war, and was conf..-
quendy tale. n. The zeal and difintereftednet, of her Conitnander
is highly eommendaJe, as, from his laareetioas, be had a good
deal to rilk.

Much pralfe Is doe to Lieutenant %Valliant the 46th regi•
nt, who commanded the trove, and his infriring example and
judicious aranerment. In cores Mg hie men .rom the enemy's
lbsrpfinmters, are highly retpeetahle to him. Hk example was
imitated by lieut.-Dant fnf r, of the fame retdment,and the Ifirre
dr rep ut the 46t11 regiment was cimtpieueus in every individual
of it engird.

I beg leave likewife to mention the zeal of a very young Ocn.
demon, I icut. Hamilton, of the 46th, who, though vrry n.ut.h in-
