" ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, NOV. 29.
Disfatches have been received at this Office from
Vice-Admiral Lord Coll.ritowoon, dated the 30th
ult. and Ist inst. off Cape St. Sebastian, communica-
ting the following intelligence :
That, on the 21st ult. a convoy sailed from Tou-
lon, for the relief of Barcelona, e6n9isting of three:
sail of the line, two frigates, two smaller frigates,
arid about 20 sail of armed and store-ships ; that no
the 23d the British fleet of. 16 sail of the line, saw
the enemy, whose line of battle ships immedi-
ately separated from their convoy ; the former were
chased by our line of battle, and the latter by
Capt. BARRIE, with the frigates and smaller ves-
sels. On the evening of the 24th, Rear-Admiral
MARTIN, in the CANOPUS, in 'company with the RE-
NOWN, TIORE, SULTAN, LEVIATHAN, and CuMsER-
LA st),• ag.i in got sight of the enemy. On the morn-
ing of the 25th they were still in sight, and the Rear-
Admiral continued the chace till he drove the whola
of them ashore, the Robuste, 8i Rear-Admiral
Bountx, and the Lyon, 74., off Frontignan ; and the
Boree, 74, and one of the larger frigatei, near Cette.
It was impossible to get close enough to attack the
line of battle ships on shore, near Frontignan, for,
in attempting to do s 3, one of our ships 'bad. but five
fathoms water, and another lest than six ; however on
the Rear-Admiral's making, next morning, prepara-
tions*for attacking them, the french.themselVes set
fire to those ships.

One of the smaller frigato::, and those ships of the
convoy that bad escaped. Capt. BARRIE (who on the
evening of the 23c1 burned five of them) took shelter
in the Bay of ROsas, and were moored under the
protection of the Castle of Rosas, of Fort Trinity,
and many other newly-erected Forts. On the 29th
of October a detachment of the fleet, under Captain
Har.r.ownL, of the TIGRE, proceeded with. a view
to take or destroy those vessels, and on the Ist ofl
November the boats of the TIGET, CUNDIFELAND,
VOLONTAIRE, APOLLO, TOPAZE, and TASCAN, under
Lieut. TAILOUR, ist of the TICIIIM attacked the enemy,
and after an obstinate defence by the vessels them-
selves, by the batterits, gun-boats, and musketry
from the shore, the Lieutenant succeeded in captur-
ing 11 sail, seven of which he burnt and sunk, and
four of which, an off-shore wind springing up, he
was enabled to bring away.
Nothing could exceed the conduct and gallantry
of this enterprize, in which onr loss was 15 killed,
and 55 wounded : Lieutenant Tarr, of the Vor.IN:-
TAIRE, and Mts. CALDWELL, Master's Mate of the
Twist, are the only Officers killed ; Lieutenant
TAILOCIt himself was among the wounded.
Of.tlie whole, therefore, of this squadron and con-
voy, one of the larger frigates, which got into Mar-
seilles in the night, and one of the smaller (a store-
sh:p, which has not yet been heard of,) have escaped.
