the capture of the National brig Lodi had taken
place at anchor in Leogane ; it is now, with great
pleafiire, I add to it, his account of the deftruition
of the National brig la Maine, on the coma of Cuba,
wherein it appears a fuperior degree of profeffional
abilities, with great gallantry, were difplayed, and I

Sir—Upon receiving the intimation that the French
privateers, which were long Since fuppofed to have
bees fitting out in the ports of Cuba, had probably
put to sea, I worked up along Chore from Lucca to
the eats end of Jamaica to fee the coati clear, and
tbea goofed over to St. Jago de la Cuba, where I few
four French fchooners at anchor, apparently armed.
lof courfe watched the port very narrowly, and in a

nujiliifiable to admit of undertaking, from her bay-

of Oohing my adeiration, and will, I am fere, meet
Your approbation. I watched the brig all night,
and in the morning her math were all overboard,
and the lay a perfect wreck full of water. I have
fuzee learned her name it la Matine. National brig,
carrying eighteen long eighteen pounders, and was
fall of men, from Port au Paix bound to St. Jago 4—,
but I have not been able to obtain the name of her
Captain. I regret that I was not able to fecure to

be ; but, under the circumflance of having the two
Lieutenants and forty-two men abfent in prizes out

fled that no effort was left untried, and that Mr.
Tar:mason the mailer, and the remaining part of the
crew, have performed their duty on this occasion with
credit. The fchooner which was in company made
her efeape, notwithflanding the endeavour of Lieu-
tenant WRIGHT, in charge of one of the prizes, who
used all poffible means to difable her.

Sir—l beg leave to inform you, that in the after-
noon of the 43th Sober, when (landing in for the
coati of Cuba, I obferved Several 'nails to windward
coming dole along Shore, all of whom hauled in to.
•Rards Cumberland harbour before fun fet ; having
Le.ad of the evacuation of Port au-Prince, I anchored
in a (mall bay, in expeßation of teeing them coming

a' us nearly becalmed ; I got under weigh with a
tine land wind, and chased them, at half-pal fix. a
brig, fchooner. and cutter, (toll of men,) boified
French colours, and fired guns to windward. The
brig attempted to get in 'bore of us, while the caber

deavonred In pin her. The land breeze however
carried me within gun.(hot of the brig, and after

time to fend an officer, and a (mall party of,

• baffling airs prevented me tr.ao getting Heater

At one P. M. I again got within goo that of her,

further refinance. After gaining pofeSlon of the

an American). thin Rood in ore to rejoin the brig
I had taken in the morning, but bad the mortifica-
tion to find, that while I was engaging the fchooner
and cutter, they had overpowered the officer, and
bad run her on Shore on the rocks, where they had
all landed with their arms. I have however got all
my men back fele. The brig was called la Petite'
Fille, •National gun brig. commanded by Monfienr
Power, Lieutenant de Vaiffeau, and had on board
one hundred and eighty troops, including about fifty
officers of all ranks. The fchooner la Jenne Aele of
fix (mall guns, commanded by M. Seam, Lieutenant
de Vaiffeau, and bad on board eighty troops. The
cutter l'Amelie. commanded by Monfieur do Puy,
Enfign de Vailfeau, and carrying four long guns and
many Swivels, with upwards of feventy troops. The
two latter were alto National veffels, and had on
board twenty-two officers.
The Commanders of there vetch have Since told
me that they were apprifed of our being on the coif.
and that they had planned their mode of attack in
Cumberland harbour, having determined on board-
ing us ; their lotsis about forty killed and wounded.
I feel great pleafure in informing you that I had not
a fingle man killed ; the only perfoa hurt was Mr.
Jona Trimmer the matter. who received a violent
contolion, in the early part of the harmers. which
deprived me of the farther Cervices of a truly brave
and meritorious officer. The alive conduit of Lieut.
Lain:ace, throughout the day, has fully ettablithed
the character you gave him, with his commitfioa.—
From the perfe& fatisfaftion the crew had given me
on former occafioas, and their Ready and refolute
behaviour at this, I have no doubt if the three
veffels had (unneeded in boarding (which had the
calm continued, it would be extremely difficult, if
not impotfible to prevent) they would have met with
a refinance worthy of Britith feamen, and that they
would have had only to boaß of a very dear bought
conqueß. The damage the RACOON has (attained is
immaterial, being principally in her fails ; but the
very difabled Rate of the prises, and having expend-
ed nearly all the Shot on board, will, I hope. plead
my exude for returning to port before I was regu-
larly recalled. I have the honour to be. (lee.
