details of the victory obtained in the Mediterranean.
?he Admiralty Bulletin not having appeared yester-
day till a part of our impression was worked off, we
again insert it, as containing a pretty concise abstract
of the Official Dispatches. _ _

Before giving the official accounts we shall endea-
vour to elucidate one point which has occasioned some
obscurity in the details. A demi-official bulletin,
circulated yesterday, stated, that the whole of the '
French fleet, consisting of 16 sail of the line and
transports, coasters, &c. had come out of Toulon, but
that the body of the fleet returned in about four hours.
The fact, as we have been informed by a Gentle-
man who witnessed the proceedings of our squadron,
was simply this :—The greater part of the ships of
the line came out of harbour with the transports, &c.
on the 21st and 22d of October. Whether they had
no other intention but to conduct the convoy safe past
the British ships that were hovering off the port—
not suspecting Lord COLLINGWOOD to be so near ; or
whether, when out, they had learnt by some of their
lighter vessels the nearness of the British Admiral, is
not known : but eleven ships of the line returned
again to Toulon, leaving three sail of the line and the
smaller ships, mentioned in the Official accounts, to
convoy the transports,&c. which pursued their voyage.

We are rather inclined to think that those which
were attacked had no wish to run much risk, and
would have returned as well as the rest had they
known their danger, or when they knew it had the
power of retreating. In short, the ships that returned
to Toulon have had a most narrow escape from
being all taken or destroyed.
Barcelona, intended to be relieved by this convoy,
is known to have been nearly in a state of absolute fa-
mine. Bread, by the last accounts, was selling there
at one dollar per pound.

" ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, NOV. 29.

" Dispatches have been received at this Office from
Vice-Admiral Lord COLLINGWOOD, 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, consisting of three
sail of the line, two frigates, two smaller frigates,
and about 20 sail of armed and store-ships ; that on
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, TIGRE, SLLTAN, LEVIATHAN, and CUMBER-
LAND, again 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 whole
of them ashore, the Robuste, 81, Rear-Admiral
13ouoiN, and the Lyon, 71., off Frontignan; and the
l3orec, 74, and one of the larger frigates, near Cette.
It was impossible to get close enough to attack the
l:nc of bat:-le ships on shore, near Frontignan, for,
in attempting to do so, one of our ships bad but five
fathoms water, and another less 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 frigates, and those ships of the
convoy that had escaped Capt. BARRIE ( who on the
evening of the 23d burned five of them) took shelter
in the Bay of Rosas, and were moored under the
pr ltection of the Castle of Rosas, of Fort Trinity,
a. d many other newly-erected Forts. On the 29th
of October a detachment of the fleet, under Captain
HALLOWELL, of the Timm proceeded with a view
to take or destroy those vessels, and on the Ist of
November the boats of the TIGRE, CUMBERLAND,
VOLONTAIRE, APOLLO, TOPAZE, and TUSCAN, under
Lieut-TAILOUR, Ist of the TIGRE, attacked the enemy,
an.l after an obstinate defence by the vessels them-
slves, by the batteries, gun-boats, and musketry
from the shore, the Lieutenant succeeded in captur-
ing 11 sail, seven of which be burnt and sunk, and
four of which, an off-shore wind springing up, he
was enabled to bring away. •

44 Nothing could exceed the conduct and gallantry
of this enterprize, in which our loss was 15 killed,
and .55 wounded : Lieutenant TAIT, of the VOLON-
TAMS, and Mr. CaLnwr.u., Master's Mate of the
TIGRI4 are the only .Officers killed ; Lieutenant
TAILOUII himself was among the wounded.
« of the whole, therefore, of this squadron and con-
voy, one of the larger frigates, which got into Mar-
seilles la the night, and one of the smaller (a store-
thip, \‘lll(..h has act yet been hiresd Qf,)have escaped."

ADMIRALTY OFFICE, NOV. 29.
The Honourable Lieutenant William Wa!derive, of the Ville
de Paris, arrived here this morning with Dispatches from Vice
Admiral Lord Collingwood, Commander in Chief of his Ma-
jesty's Ships and Vessels in the Mediterranean, addressed to
the Honourable William Wellesley Pole, of which the follow-
ing are Copies :

Ville de Paris, off St. Sebastian, October I.

Stn—Bylny letter of the 16th of September, their
Lordships will be informed of the intelligence I had
received relative to the intended movements of the
French squadron, and of my reasons for changing my
station for St. Sebastian.

While On this station, on the night of the 22d inst.
the Pomone joined, and Captain Barrie (who with in-
defatigable perseverance had, with the Alceste,
watched the port of Toulon) informed me, that the
day before, several of the enemy's squadron had put
to sea, that others were coming out when he left
them, and that there was every appearance of the
whole fleet being on the move from the harbour.—
They had a numerous convoy with them, and as this
movement was made with the first of an easterly
wind, there was little doubt of their being bound to
the westward. I immediately made the necessary
signals for the squadron to be prepared for their re-
ception, and placed the three frigates and sloop (Po-
mone, Hydra, Volontaire, and Minstrel) to wi9tTeard,
to give notice of the enemy's approach.

On the following morning (the 23d) soon after
eight o'clock, the Volontaire made the signal for a
fleet to the eastward ; while they continued to come
down before the wind, no alteration was made in the
squadron, except by advancing two fast sailing ships
the Tigre and Bulwark. At ten, the Pomone made
the signal, that the enemy had hauled to the wind ;,
and the convoy separating from the ships of war,
(which were now discovered to consist of three ships'
of the line only, two frigates, two smaller frigates or
store ships, and a convoy of about twenty sail of ves-
sels) 1 ordered Rear Admiral Martin to chase them,
and eight of the best sailing ships, which standing on
contrary tacks, might take advantage of the changes
of the wind, which was then variable.

At two P. M. the Pomone, having got far to wind-
ward, was directed by signal to destroy such of the
convoy as could be come up with ; and hi the even-
ing she burnt two brigs, two bombards, and a ketch.
The enemy before dark was out of sight, and the ships
chasing not much advanced, were standing to the
northward ; while the squadron with me stretched to
the southward. The next morning neither the French
nor our own chasing ships were in sight.
This morning Rear Admiral Martin joined with
his division, as named in the margin 4*, having again
fallen in with the enemy on the 24th off the entrance
of the Rhone, and on the 25th they chased them on
shore : the Robust, of 84 guns, bearing the flag of
Rear Admiral Boudain, and the Leon, of 74, off
Frontagnan, where the day following themselves set
fire to them. The Boree, of 74 guns, and a frigate
ran on shore at the entrance of the port of Cette,
where there is little probability of either of them
being saved.
I cannot sufficiently express the high satisfaction
I have felt at the intrepid perseverance of Rear Ad-
miral Martin, and of the Captains of the ships who
were with him in the pursuit. Nothing less ardent,
or less skilful, would have produced a result so for-
tunate, where the coast near the Rhone is exceedingly
shoal and dangerous, so that some of the ships were
in five and six fathom water, the weather thick, and
the S. E. wind blowing strong.
I enclose to you, Sir, Rear Admiral Martin's let-
ter ; and beg to congratulate their Lordships on
three great ships of the enemy being thus destroyed,
without the smallest resistance on their part, or a shot
being fired by the British ships, except a few by the
'Tigre at the Boree, when she was pushing ashore at
Cette ; of their two frigates, the Pomone and Pau-
line, one hauled her wind some time in the night, and
, fetched into Marseilles Road.

Me other par.: of the French squadron are found
to remain in Toulon by the ships which have since
examined that port. I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) COLLINGWOOD.

Canopus, at Sca, October 27.

MY Lonn—ln obedience to the signal for the Ca-
nopus to chase E. N. E. I stood that way the whole
of the night of the 23d, and the following day, in
company with the Renown, Tigre, Sultan, Leviathan,
and Cumberland ; in the evening four sail were seen;
to which we immediately gave chase, and pursued
them till after dark ; when, from shoal water, and
the wind being direct on the shore, near the entrance
of the Rhone, it became necessary to keep to the
wind during the night. The following morning the
25th, the same ships were again seen and chased be-
tween Cette and Frontignan, where they run on shore,
two of them (an 80 gun ship, bearing a Rear Admi-
ral's flag, and a 74) at the latter place, and one ship
of the line and a frigate at the former. From the
shoal water and intricacy of the naviption, it was
impossible to get close enough to the enemy's two
line of battle ships, fear4Frontignan, to attack them
when on shore ; for in a.tempting to do so, one of
his Majesty's ships was under five fathoms water, and
\ another in less than six. On the 26th, I sent the
t boats to sound, meaning if possible to buoy the chan-
• caßopes, Renown, Tire, Sultan, Leviathan, and Cumber-
land.

nel (if any had been found) by which the enemy's
ships could be attacked ; but at night we had the
satisfaction to see them set on fire.

From the circumstances under which the ship and
frigate ran on shore at the entrance of the port of
Cette, T have little doubt the former will be lost ; and
the frigate must certainly have received considerable
damage ; but they cannot be got at on account of the
batteries.

Your Lordship must be well aware that nothing
but the great press of sail carried by his Majesty's
ships, and the good look-out kept, could have ena-
bled them to close with those of the enemy from the
distance they were at the time they commenced the
chase. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed)

G. MARTIN.

VILLE .1)I PARIS, off Rosa*, Nov.!, 1109.

Sin—When the enemy's convoy was chased, on the
23d ult. their transports separated from the ships of
war, and, under the protection of an armed store-
ship, two bombards, and a zebeck, made for the Bay
of Rosas. When the ships of war were disposed of,
as related in my letter of yesterday, the convoy be-
came the object of my attention, and, on the 29th,
the Apollo was sent off Rosas to examine what
vessels were there, and how far they were in a situa-
tion assailable.

The next day I appointed the ships, as per mar-
gin*, for this service, under the orders of Captain
Hallowell, to bring them out if the wind was favour-
able, or otherwise to destroy them. The state of the
wind and sea would rot permit this operation until
last night, when, after dark, the ships bore up for the
Bay, and anchored about five miles from the castle
of Rosas, un d the protection of which castle, of
Trinity-fort, and of several other newly-erected bat-
teries, the convoy, consisting of eleven vessels, five
of them armed, as per accompanying list, were
moored.

The boats being arranged in separate divisions,
the whole were put under the orders of Lieutenant
Taylour, First Lieutenant of the Tigre, and proceed-
ed to the attack of the enemy, who, although he
could have had no previou- intimation of such an en-
terprize against him, was foiri:l vigilant and com-
pletely on his guard. The slip, which was a smaller
sort of frigate, was enclosed in boarding nettings,
and a gun-boat advanced a-head of her for the look
out ; on being hailed, and the alarm gun fired, our
boats stretched out, the crews at the highest pitch of
animation, filling the air with their cheers ; each di-
vision took the part previously allotted to it ; the
armed ship was boarded at all points, and carried in
a few minutes, notwithstanding a spirited and sturdy
resistance which the enemy made ; all their armed
vessels were well defended, but the British seamen
and marines, determined to subdue them, were not
to be repelled, even by a force found to be double
that which was expected ; and besides the opposition
made by the vessels, the guns from the castle, the
forts in the Bay, the gun-boats, and musketry from
the beach kept a constant fire on them. On the open-
ing of day every ship or vessel was either burnt, or
brought off, aided by the light winds which then came
from the land, and the whole of the convoy that came
from Toulon for the supply of the French army in-
Spain has been destroyed, with the exception of the '
frigate, which escaped to Marseilles, and one store-
ship not since heard of.
I cannot conclude this narrative without an expres-
sion of the sentiment which the execution of this bold
enterprize has inspired me with, and the respect and
admiration I feel for those who performed it.
In the first place, success greatly depended upon
the previous arrangement which was made by Capt.
Hallowell, with a judgment and foresight that dis-
tinguishes that Officer in every service he is employed
on ; the division of the boats, the preparation of fire
materials, and providing them with every implement
that contingency could require, established confidence
throughout the whole ; and in this he was ably as-
sisted by the experience and zeal of Captains Wode-
house, Bullen, Taylor, and Hope. The brigs were
under sail, as near the vessels attacked as the light
winds would allow, and Captain Hallowell speaks
in high terms of praise of the conduct of their Com-
manders, Crawley, Raitt, and Wilson. The First
Lieutenant Tailour led to the assault in a most gal-
lant manner, and was followed by the other Officers
as if each was ambitious of his place, and desired to
be first ; the whole party bravely maintained the cha-
racter which British seamen have established for them-
selves.

I am sorry I have to add, that the loss has been
considerable, of which I enclose a list. Lieut. Tait,
of the Volontaire, an excellent and bravo young
Officer, and Mr. Caldwell, Master's mate of the
Tigre, a youth of great promise, were the only Of-
ficers slain. -

Many Officers in the fleet were desirous of being
volunteers in this service. I could not resist the ear-
nest request of Lieutenants Lord Viscount Balgonie,
the Hon, J. A. Maude, and the Hon. W. Waldegrave,
of the Ville de Paris, to have the command of boats,
in which they displayed that spirit which is inherent
in them.

I transmit also Captain Hallowell's letter relating
his proceedings, with lists of the Officers who corn.
manded boats, and had appointments in this service,
and of the vessels burnt and captured.—l have the
honour to be, &c. (Signed) Coulercwoop..

MY LORD-In obedience to yi►ur Lordship's order
of the Both ult. I proceeded to the Bay of Ros•ts
the ships and. .sloops--namcd. In the margin, whc:e
finding it impracticable to attack the cncmy's cr,rx6y
while under weigh, (the wind being at S. ::.%1 a
heavy swell) I anchored the ships of the squacir-:z
yesterday evening after dark, about five miles r.tr t;,!
town of Rosas, and detached all the boats, under is
command of Lieutenant Tailour, first of the Tigrl,
to destroy them ; the spirited manner in which h,, ied
them on to the attack, commanded the adruisauol of
every one present ; and the gallant wanner is
he was supported reflects the highest huuour on 'zve!;
person employed on this servi,:e.

I have the honour to inclose a list of yessc:s
Lured and destroyed on this occasion ; and when yci,:r
Lordship is informed that the enemy was aware
our intention to attack him, and had taken the Ft?.
Caution of fixing boarding netting', and 'placing
launch with a gun in it in advance, to give him ns.
Lice of our approach, and that the vesseis were .1:v,
defended by the very strong batteries on sh:)rt, I tru::
your Lordship will consider it equal in gallaut:y and
judgment to any exploit that has occurred under your
Lordship's command.

Our loss has been severe, and amonr; tl.e list of
killed I have to lament the loss of Lieutenant Tait,
of the Volontaire, of whoth Captain Bullen speaks in
high terms, as an officer who has distinguished him-
self upon many occasions ; and Mr. Caldwell, Mas.
ter's Mate of the Tigre : the latter has left a w;dowed
Mother in distressed circumstances, who looked to
him for comfort and support. Among the wounded
are. Lieutenant Tailour, of the Tigre, and Lieute-
nant Forster, of the Apollo, severely.
The brigs were directed to keep under weigh, and
were in an admirable situation at day-light to have
given assistance had it been necessary.
I have the honour also to enclose a list of the Of-
ficers employed on this service, and 1 have only to
statq that their conduct, and that of the seamen and_
marines under their command, was such as to. exceed
any encomium from my pen, and entitles them to nth
warmest thanks and approbation.
