FROM THE LONEON CrAZETTE, SEPT. rs.

DOWXING•STREET, SEPT. 15.

difpatch, of which the following is a copy,
has been received at the Office of the Right Hon.
Lord HOBART, one of his Majelly's principal Se
cretaries of State, from Colonel FRASER, com-
manding his Majefty's Troops at Gorce, on the
coalt ct Africa :
Gorce, Africa, June t 6.
_ _ _

My Loan—l have the honour to acquaint your'
L•mcllhip, thrat having received intelligence that
there was a large Ihtp, under Spanilla colours,
lying off Senegal, which had been brought there
by part of the crew, who, ;Ailed by a number of
haves, had murdered the Officers and feized the
veffel on the Southern Coaft of Africa; under-
(landing likewile that it had been propofed by Ci-
tizen RENAVD, as foon as the cargo was landed,
to refit this (hip, attack with her the Britilb vef-
fels, trading for gum, in the open Roads of Port
Andique, then, renewing the depredations that
had been formerly committed at Sierra Leone and
other Settlements, to run with the plunder for Cay-
enne, I refolved, if poffible, to &nitrate thofe in-
tentions, by taking or dellroying the Spanifh (hip
while the cargo was landing, and it was probable
the enemy would be little prepared for making de-
f:nce. Haring requefled the alliance of Mr.
OLDERMAN, Commander of the Merchant (hip
Lucy, of Liverpool, (the only armed velkl on
this part of the Coalt,) he complied moil readily ;
a few feamen were procured from the other traders
to reinforce the little Government fchooner, chiefly
navigated by blacks, and a detachment from this
garrifim, confifting of Entigns *DERMOT and
K ;No s tEr,Affillant-Surgeon-Rvair, and forty men
embarked, and failed on the Bth inaant under the
command of Captain LLOYD.

On the uth Captain LLOYD returned ; and by
his report, which I have the honour to enclole,
your Lordfliip will fcc that the enemy was taken
by furprife, and a new fhip, capable of mounting
thitty•guns on her main deck, has been dt.itioyed
without the lofs of one man. All perfons employed
on this fervice were volunteers; and the alacrity
with which they engaged in it merits the higheit
praife. (Signed) Jona Fa ANFR, CommantlAnt.

To the RC. Lord HOBART, &C. &C.

Coree, June is.

Sir—l have the honour to acquaint you, that in
confcquence of your orders I roceeded to the Bar
of Senegal mid the detachment under my com-
mand ; and on the morning of the tath intl. dif
covered a large (hip at anchor about two miles off
the Bar ; on our approach the crew betook them-
(elves to their boats ; on boarding the was found
to be a new Spanifh fhip pierced for thirty guns,
and about nine hundred tons burden ; that the had
been unloaded, (tripped of her fails, rigging, &C.
&c. Finding it impraCticable, from the (late of
the veffel, and the wind blowing (hong on fnore,
to bring her off, I gave direttions to Mr. CRADY,
maftcr of the GovseN Al EN T fchooner, to fet her on
fire, which he executed very much to my fatisfac-
tion, and without any accident. In juftice to the
officers and men under my command, I beg leave
to mention that they difplayed the greater' readi.
nefs in executing any orders I had to give ; and,
had there been any occafion, would, I am con-
vinced, have conduCted themfelves in fuch a man-
ner as to merit my approbation. I have, &c.
(Signed) RICH. LLOYD, Capt. African Corps.
