&ovular:: UP OF THE JASON FRIGATI.—We
Tome time fince announced the lofs of this fhip on
the French coaft, in the neighbourhood of St. Ma.
lots, and we have row the fatisfaltion to obferve,
that, owing to the gallant and active interference
of our people, the enemy has been deprived of the
advantage which refulted to him from the accident.
Captain CUNNINGHAM, of .the CLYDE, command-
ing the fquadron on the waft, being apprized of
the intention of the enemy to float the wreck of the
JasoN into St. Maloes, they having fucceeded in
hauling her under the proteetion of two of their
batteries, by lightening her of her guns, tcc. de.
termined to attempt to burn her. Accordingly,
on the sth init. the boats of the fquadron, under
the orders of Lieut. Ross, of the Wirazts, board-
' ed the wreck, notwithftanding the formidable op..
pofition prefented by the batteries, a gun-brig,
!even flats, betides row-gallies, cutters, Bcc. with
which the was furrounded. Lieut. Ross proceeded
to fet her on fire ; but, owing to the riling of the
tide, the proje& proved abortive. The condition
of the veffel was, however, fuch as to make her a
valuable acquifition to the enemy; and the failure
of the attempt to deftroy her, far from deprefling
the energy of our people, only fuggefled the means
for a renewed and more friccefsful effort. It was
refolved to try to blow her up ; and on the fol-
lowing day Lieut. Ross again proceeded to the
wreck—the boats of the WaszLE, Issotsar, and
Lieges-it, at the fame time engaging the enemy's
fquadron, for the purpofe of diverting his atten-
tion from bur objed. At half-pa ft twelve Lieut.
Ross boarded, under a heavy fire from tbe bat-
teries: at one o'clock, having arranged every thing
and fet fire to the train, our gallant party left the
(hip, a d in thirty-five minutes (he was blown to
atoms. The enemy conceived they had defeated
our purpofe, and were aftonifbed at the explofion.
In this fervice, fo creditable to the parties, we had
not a man either killed or wounded. The French
had in St. Maines two large frigates, three brigs,
three cutters, and eight large flat-bottomed boats,
but they were deterred from any movements by
ithe appearance of our fquadron, which comprizes
•
une frigate, three brigs, and two luggers.
