ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, MARCH 2.
Copy of a Letter from Captain Chetham, of his Majesty's Ship
Hamadryad, to Min Wilson Croker, Esq. dated in the Downs,
the Ist instant.
SIR—I beg you will be pleased to inform my
Lords CommissionerS of the Admiralty, that yester-
day, at half-past seven, IN ir. Beachy Head bearing
N.E. about seven miles, a French lugger privateer
came out from under the land, and fired at his Ma-
jesty's ship under my command. I tacked, and
brought her under our lee guns, and fired several
shot at her, and from her obstinate endeavours to
escape, she sunk at half-past nine, and, lam sorry to
say, without a possibility of my saving any of the
crew. —I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) EDWARD CIIETIIAM, Captain.
Copy of a Letter from Captain Galwey, of his Majesty's ship
Dryad, addressed to Commodore Malcolm, and transndtted by
Admiral Lord Keith to John Wilson Crokeri Esq.
His Majesty's ship Dryad, Basque Roads, Dec. 27.
SIR—I beg to acquaint you, that cruising in the
execution of your orders, between Belleisle and the
Isle Dieu, on the morning of the 23d instant, we saw
a large brig on the weather beam, in shore of us,
which I immediately chaced. The weather being
thick and hazy, we soon lost sight ; but clearing a
little again about eleven o'clock, she was perceived
on the weather bow working ir.to the Isle Dicu. I
continued standing after by the help of the lead, the
fog clearing at intervals, to push through the passage
between the island and the main, should she have en-
deavoured to escape by that way; but getting closer
in, we discovered her at an anchor under the battery
of the island. I determined, if possible, in this situ—
ation, to lay her on board, and bore up for that pur-
pose; but the moment I did so she cut her cable,
hoisted her jib and foretop-sail, and ran upon the rocks.
—The batteries then opened a heavy fire, and hulled
us three or four times, and wounded the foremast
badly, but without any other effect ; and in the course
that night and the following day, the brig went to
pieces. I have not been able to find out her name,
or ally, other particular more than that she was a
French national brig of war, mounting 22 guns.
(Signed) E. GALWEY, Captain.
