Minchead, s 6 March, 1805.

" The brig Johanna Frederica. Michael Fran. Calaiore, Mat-
ter, from Malaga bound to Embden, came to an anchor in out
road yefterday morning, having miflaken the Channel. The
Matter reports, that the crews of an Englilb poop of War, of
a bomb, anti of a merchant brig, were landed from • French
frigate at Malaga in the beginning a February; that the friia e
no other communication with the than, except the landing
of a large packet of papers for the French Conful, which were
immediately forwarded to Paris. The frigate was full of foldieras
and the left Malaga Roads on the 13th with a Prong wetter'? wind.
Calafore frequently met and converted with the Britith
Officers of the Poop and bomb; and the Matter of a mer-
chant brig ai a CoffLe-houfe where they were permitted to go.
He lays, chit the Matter of the brig reported of the Mediterra•
near convoy as follows:
" In the night (n'o date) preceding his capture. two French
frigates attacked the b:itifh (loop of war and the bomb, which
beat off the frigates. At cLy light the neat morning the frigates
bore down on them, they being then off Alicant, and renewed the
engagement The Poop and bomb maintained a running fight of
roux hours, which gave an opportunity to the Beet to difperfe
and died their efeape. Excepting his own brig, be declared to
Calafore, that be did not believe any ()thir capture was made.
His own brig was concluded by the other frigate, he fuppoies to
Carthagena.
" The Poop and the bomb were fought as long ac they could
farim ; they bath hank after the crews had been taken out. None
were killed or wound, d in the hood); a fee, were killed, and fe-
venal wounded on board the Hoop. Calafore law two Elie ill
Officers with cpaulsttes. and five with white facings. The cross
were imprifoned in a cattle, and he undetfL..od that the Officers
were to be fent to Gibraltar.

' .` It was reported at ,✓Malaga that the two frigates had failed itt
company with four others from Toulon. Cal :fore was fworn to
this verbal report, the quarantine regulations not permitting e•
to ,:ommunicate with him in writing. In my hurry I had like to
have negledted an effential part of his report. namely, that he did
not leave Bibby Roads till the tbth of bebruary."

By intelligence from Holland we learn, that a flag
of truce: by way of the Texel, is to be fent with Eng-
prifoners of war, to be put on board the (hips
of Admiral Russ Les fquadron.
