that (loop and the Stator on a Spanifh convoy an-

of twelve guns, and a confiderable force of armed
yards; which appears to have been executed with
flinch refolution and courage. I trua• that their
Lordfhips will honour with their approbation the
fpirit of enterprize which the officers and men en-
gaged in this fervice have evinced; and while I
have the power of expreffing to their Lordfhips my
fatisfaCtion with the zealous and aftive exertions of
Captain PULLING, In loon after his arrival on this
Ration, I have moll fincere pleafure in tranfmft-

furnifhed fo exemplary a proof. (Signed)

Hie Majefy'sflap Katromtoo, one cables length front the
Shore and two from the town of Oropefo, zoth of June,
Sot, three in the morning.
My Lord—l have the honour to inform your
Lordfhip that, cruizing off Barcelona on the ift
inflant, purfuant to orders from Captain DIXON,
of his Majefty's (hip GINERSAU X, and falling in
with his Majefty's (hip SPIRDY, Right Hon. Lord
COCHRAN/ Commander, we (poke a Minorqnin
privateer, who gave information that a Spanifh
convoy, confining of twelve fail and fire armed
veffels, had pallid to the windward three days be.
fore : Lord CocliaaNt agreeing with me as to the
pradicability of overtaking them, 'we went in put:
fuit, and yefferday morning got fight of them at
anchor under the battery of Oropefo. When har-
ing fo able and gallant an Officer as his Lotdfhip
to lead into the Bay, I hefitated not a moment to
Make the attack : We approached within half dun:
(hot of the enemy by noon with both brigs, and
came to an anchor, though oppofed by the battery,
which is a large Square Tower, and appears to have
twelve guns, a zebec, of twenty guns, and three
gun-boats, all of which kept up a bra fire until
two o'clock, when it confiderably decreafed, but
again recommenced, encouraged by a felucca, of
twelve guns, and two gun boats, that came to their
affillance : by half pall three the zebec and one of
the gun-boats funk, and shortly after another gun-
boat !hared the fame fate. The Tower, with the
remaining gun-boats, minified by the three in the
offing, continued to anaoy us on both fides till
about half pall fix, when the fire of the whole flack-
cued i and on the KANGAROO cutting her cables
and running nearer to the Tower, the gunboats
in the offing fled, and by fever the Tower was
filenced. We were annoyed by a heavy fire of
mulquetry In different direCtions till midnight, dur-
ing which time the boats of both brigs were em.
ployed in cutting out the wads that were found
afloat, under the clireition of Mr. THOMAS FOULER-
tow, the Firfi Lieutenant of the KANGAROO, of lled
by Lieutenant WARBURTON, of the &PICOT, the
Honourable M. A. Coc H taut, and MefTrs. DEAN
and TAYLOR Midfhipmen ; they fucceeding in
bringing out three brigs laden With wine, rice, and
bread. When Lord COCN RAN E, with his ufual zeal,
took the fame Officers under his command, and
went in Shore again in the hope of bringing away
more, but the retnaiader were either funk or driven
on !tore. I have here to lament theloft of Mr.Tsio-
MAI TAT Loa, Midfhinnan, a valuable young man,
who was killed by a mufket ball while on this fervice.
I cannot exprefs myfelf fufficiently grateful to
Lord COCHRANE for his affiftance during this long
contefl, as well as on the day before, when we
found it neceirary, for the honour of his Britannic
Majelly's arms, to blow up the Tower of Alma-
nara, mounting two briars four-pounders, which
would not furrender, though repeatedly fummod-
ed. I mull alto acknowledge the fervices' of Lieu-
tenant FOULIRTON, and beg leave to recommend
him llrongly to your Lordlhip's notice ; he, with
the other Lieutenant, Mr. THOMAS BROWN Trion, r-
sot, whom I alto feel indebted to, has been (lightly
wounded ; Mr. THOMAS TONG RA U, Aains
Mr. JOHN KICH•R DS, Purfer, (who vcdunteered
his Services on deck), on this occafion, as well as
the officers and crews of both brigs, behaved as
Britifh officers and feamen are accultomed to do;
the affiftance of Captain EDWARD DRUMMOND, of
the both Regiment, who was a paffenger on board,
I alto acknowledge with pleafure.
Enclofed is a lift of the killed and wounded on
board the KANG•IOO ; Lord CncHEANE was a
little tinged, and received a bruife at the demoli-
tion of the Tower Almanara, as did two of his
men, brt I am rejoiced to add, neither of them
were materially hurt ; and with the utrnoll furprife
I have the pleafure to find that the SPEEDY had not
a man killed or wounded in the deflruetion of this
convoy, though,from Situation and dillance,equal-
ly expofed to the enemy's fire : we are now get-
ting under-way for Minorca, with the prizes; the
(loops are not much damaged, and tortunately for
the enemy the ammunition of both is expended,
otherwife I am confident, that in a Short time the
Tower would be razed to its foundation.
