were enabled to attack the Admiral in the Imperial,
(formerly le Vengeur) the fire of which had beer.
heavy on the NORTHUMBERLAND, bearing the Hon.
Rear-Admiral CIICHRAIII% flag. By this time the
movement of l'Alezandre had thrown her among the
lee diviGon, which atear.Admiral Lowe happily
availed himfelf of, and the anion became gene: aleisnd
continued. with great leverity till half paft eleven;
when the French Admiral, much (haltered, and com-
pletely beat, hauled dire& for the land, and not being
a mile off, at zo minutes before noon ran on fhore ;
his foreman then only (landing, which fell direCtly
on her (hiking; at which time the Su P 11413 being only
in 17 fathom water, was forced to haul off to avoid
the fame evil ; but not long after, le Diomede, of 84
guns, putted on (pore near his Admiral, when all his
malls went : and I think it a duty I owe to charafter
and my country to add, from the information of Sir
EDWARD Bratty, after flu had (truck, and the AGA-
MEMNON defilled from firing into her, from the Cap-
tain taking off his hat, and making every token of
furrender ; and Captain Dunn affur es me both enlign
and pendant were down ;—to comment on which, I
leave to the world. About so minutes after eleven
the firing ceafed, and upon the I'
m. ke clearing away
I found le Brave, bearing a Commodore's pendant,
l'Alerandre, and le Jupitre in our poffeffion.
When I contemplate on the refult of this anion,'
when five fail of the line had furrendered, or were
apparently deflroyed in lets than twn hours, I cannot,
though bound to pay every tribute to the noble and
gallant efforts of the Hon. Rear Admiral Coo HRAN
Rear-Admiral Louis, the Captains, Officers, Seamen,
and Royal Marines, under my command, be vain
enough to fuppofe, that, without the aiding hand of
PIOTIDENCR, fuck refill( could have been effefted,
and with a lots fo comparatively (mall; and though
1 (hall ever fympathize with the cnnneetions of thole
that fell, the refleCtion on the cattle will, I hope, aE
. ford much confolation.
To fpeik individually to the condo& of any one,
would be injurious to all ; for all were equally ani
mated with the fame zealous ardour in fupport of their
King and Country. Yet, poffeffed of thefe feelings,
I cannot be filent without injullice to the firm and
manly fupport for which I WAS indebted to Captain
KIATS, and the effe& that the fyltem of difcipline
and good order in which I found the Syrian mull
ever produce ; and the pre eminence of the tritiOs
feamen could never be more highly confpicuous than
in this contea.

After the aftion, the water being
.too deep to an-
chor in the Bay off St. Domingue, at was requifite
to bring to with the prizes to repair damages, put
the (hips in a manageable State, and fhift the prifoners,
whirl' took me till this afternoon ; when I detached
the Honourable Captain STOPFORD in the SPENCEIt
with the DONIGAL and ATLAS, which latter had loft
her bowfprit, with the prizes to Jamaica ; and being
anoints% with Rear-Admiral COCHRAN', that he
fhould return to his Command, where his fervices
mull be wanted, a jury mainmaft is fining to the
NovosrUMBIII,LAND, under this ifland, to enable her to
get to windward, when I (hall order the AGAMEM-'.
NON, which is (laying by her, to accompany the
Rear-Admiral to his nation ; and I am now pro.
ceeding with the CANOPUS, Rear. Admiral Lou,;.
ACUTA, and MAGIC/INNS, off St. Domingue, to
make certain of the Imperial and Diomede being
completely wrecked, after which, I fhall repair to
Jamaica.
Having recited the tranfaelions of this glorious
combat, which will fairly add another (prig of laurel
to our naval balmy, and alfift in promoting our
