My Lord—l have the honour to inform you of
my arrival here with his hlajefly's armed (hip Charles,
Captain Clephane, on the lath infant, the Falcon
(loop of war having Hired us on the fame day. His
Excellency General Kalkreuth fufpe&ing that the
enemy would be fupplied with provifions by tea, I
ordered the Chalks to cruize between Role Hind
and Dant zic Bay, to intercept any loch veltels. Hay-
ing fuggefted to his Excellency the Governor the uti•
I.ty of having a (hip in tie Fair Water, a place of
confiderable importance, and which had been fre-
quently attacked by the enemy, it met his warmeft
approbation, and I was honoured with his thanks for
having anticipated his with on this occafion. I ac-
cordingly Li nog!): my fhip in the Fair Water on the
16.1), and moored her in a flanking pofition on an
ialanur, which the enemy would be obliged to pats
in order to make an attack thereon. On the follow.
ing day. finding the ce.mmunication flopped between
Fair %Veer and the city of Dant ?lc, the enemy hay
log polled themfclves cn the left bank of the liver
Vitlula, called the Nehrung, I determined to endea-
vour to force a communication, and by great exer-
tions on the Fait of my cfficers and (hip's company,

I get the fhip lightened that evening to as In enable
her to heave through the fluice, the mouth of the
river Vittula.

At half pall fix P. M. on the fame day, I com-
menced anion with the enemy at the Great Hol
landu, on the Nehrung, who oppofed to us a very
Chong force of mufketry, fuppofed to be about two
or three thoufand men, in their entrenchments, and
fbeltered by the ruins of houfes lately burnt, with
three pieces of artillery, affißed by a fmall battery
on the right bank of the river called the Legan. The
anion continued within pißol flint until nine o'clock,
when feveral of our gun breechings being flint and
carried away, and having no wind to maintain our
pofition, I endeavoured to get the flarboard broad-
fide to bear upon the enemy, but without drat, the
current (cuing down. I then hauled down the river
to refume my ration at the Fair Water. The gal-
lant conduit of my officers and feamen were Inch as
ever charaeterizes Britifh feamen ; and though my
efforts were not completely fuccefsful, from the wind ,
failing us, I have the fatisfaCtion of laying that it ap•
pears to have a good effett in infpiring the inhabi-
tants here and at the city, with additional energy
and confidence in the caufe which we are engaged in,
and 1 have been honoured with a very handfome and
flattering letter frcm his Excellency General Kal-
kreuth, Governor of Dantzic, on this occafion, in
which lam happy to have anticipated his views. I
am Corry to add that my ids has been confiderable,
having my Firl Lieutenant and nearly half my (hip's
company 'wounded by the inceffant fire of mufketry,
mizen mall (hot through, fails and r igging much cut,
and upwards of a thoufand mullet (hot in the hull.
The lola of the enemy, by every information we
can obtain, between four and five hundred men in
killed and wounded, befittes one piece of artillery
completely difmounted, which was alfo obferved from
the ramparts.
