This morning arrived three French gunboats
(Nos. 43, 47. and st), captured WI night by the
Timms, Capt. Berner; and the Henze, Captain
Murray. They are remarkably fine brigs. each
with three 3s-ponisders and so men on board;
Come of whom are foldiers, belonging to the stet
densi-brigade. They are So feet keg. and Li wide,
draw fix feet of water forward, and four feet abaft,
and are molt excellent fea boats, fined in the am-
pleteß manner with every neceffary ankle of lore $
they are entirely new, and will row upwards at forty
[weeps, and are fo cooßrneed that if run en (bore
they remain perfealy upright, and thus prefent a
moll formidable battery. Each was commanded by
an Enfigne de Vaiffeau. Tho(e velfels failed from
La Hogue with ten others, for Boulogne, and were
captured about fix leagues from St. Helen's, having
been blown off the French coal*. They are in every
refpea as capable of continuing at fea as one of
our gun boats, but more adapted for fighting in a
&tooth water. That. are one hundred and fifty
Mere of the fame clefs lying at La Hogue, waiting
an opportunity to proceed to Boaloone ; and (bold
the weather moderate, they will ere& their pat-
fage in (pica of our cruisers. which can never annoy
them in the manner they creep along (bore,
frequently by a body of dragoons, whole plitrteorfel t
is to fire at oar boats, &add they attempt to attack
them.--Arrived the Arniume, of so guns, Captain

morning
found to have Railed under the fore chaiss.artli
under the water's Adige, and a very bad leak id the
after hold.; we lay by the greater part of the day
feenring the butt ends, and flopping the leak in the
alter had as much as poifible. Finding it necelfary
to lighten the 'hip fonward, I ordered fix of the fore-
mod guns on the main deck to be thrown overboard,
is tons eli, iron Labia out of between decks and
the fore peak, with all the iron and lumber out of
the carpenter's fore room. Four pomp. were con.
Itantly going the whole of the night of the sift. yet
the leak had increafed to four feet an hour by day-
light; when, on examining the hold, the leaks were
found to be fore and aft, through the Teams on both
fiats, but principally about the beams, from the fore
pan of the main hatchway to the after part of the
after hatchway, where the water milted in very fail.
Daring the whole of this day. the ihip's company
were employed in thrumming a main top fail to put
underber bottom, and the French prifnners kept con.
Randy pumping to keep her free. The pumps fre.
quendy chocking, and the tbip gaining fait on them
during the time of their repair, hove overboard all
the guns from the main deck, all the Alb. that out
of the bold and en deck, and all the weight and lum-

Monday, sd of January.—At three P. M. the
wind flew round to the northward in a (quail, and
caufed a heavy crofs fwelL The Rip labouring very
much, found the fail had taken effea, and reduced
the leak from four feet and a half to two inches
an hour, which lifted till eight P. 74. when st began
to encreafe again ; and before daylight, though the
gale had eoefiderably abated, the (Kip was making
five feet salons., with four pumps coniantly going:
found the pan of the Sip the fail had covered to be
the nsoft usconfiderable part of the leak. Several
bad leaks were dikovered between the fore and main
hatchways on.the larboard tide, the Slip leaking foie
and aft on both fides through the (cams, and the
bolts working in and out in many parts of the hold
(one of which bad been drawn out by band by the
?defter's Mate), and the knee of the head loofe.—
Got up two ftudding fails, and turned all the (hip's
company to thrum aMit while the French prifoners
kept the pumps conflandy going. The invalids, We,
and French officers, picking ixham ; the (hip making
five feet an hour, and fearcely able to keep her free.
Moderate weather, pumps frequently choakiag, and
one rendered almoft ufelefs.
The Blip's company were now beginning to fink
fall ander the fatigue of working hard from daylight
to dark, for fevera dfys together, and pumping all
night in bad weather with very little intermirso% and
without relt, and which they could not have kept up
fo long had it not been for the &Rance of the
French prifoners : I therefore thought it a duty I
owed the public fervice as well as to all under
my command, to take tie opportunity of the only
moderate day we had had for Tome time, or were
likely to have dnring the pelage. to respell Captain
Smell, of the Cumberland, would order a forveyon
the Blip, in order to afcertain whether front her pre.
fent leaky Rate, and the, great profpea df the bad
weather coming on again, it was poltble, by any
means in our power, to keep the (hip afloat until our
arrival in England. The refult of which was, that
the flip was found in Inch a dangerous Rate, as to
render it impoffible for her to reach England. or any
port whatever. Captain Serrell then direacd her to
be detlroyed, and the boats of the two (hips began
removing the invalids, prifoners, and (hip's company
to the Cumberland about noon. Kept two pump
going to prevent the thipgainiartoo fait on them.—

Jnuary 3, at four P. M. having removed the
whole of the prifoners and (hip's company into the
Cumberland. I quitted the Creole, having about ten
feet water in her hold. as near as could be calculated,
from the upper tire of water calks, walking from
fide to fide in the hold, and having effeaually de-
firoyed her, as the flip went down in an hour after-
wards . • but I null it will appear, that every effort
was made ufc of to keep her afloat as long as poffible.
and that the was not abandoned while there was the
finalist! hope left of her being able to reach any port,
(the neareft there was a potfibility of finding relief at,
being at die dißance of near 400 leagues) but that
the lives of all on board mutt have been facrinced,
had we attempted to keep the Blip in poffe(fion even
one day longer. (Si ncd) ausrtm Bissau..
