Extra& of a letter from on board his Majefty's
fltip Lolls, at fea, April 27. " On Saturday the
25th inft. we failed from Spithead, for our old Ration
off Havre, in order to blockade that port during
the fpring-tides. At day-light the next morning,
we difcovered the Amity SCADS frigate as well as
the land near Havre. At 7A.M. we difcovered
feveral fail under the land (Landing towards us,
which loon after appeared to be a French fquadron
confining of a large (hip corvette, three gun-brigs,
a fchooner, and lugger, endeavouring to efFelt
their efcape to Cberburgh. They hauled their
wind to get under the proteCtion of their forts, it
I being impolfible to regain the harbour, owing to
ithe ftrong ebb-tide then making.
" You may fuppofe that not a moment's time
was loft in making fail and clearing for anion;
every boat in readinefs for hoifting out, withevery
implement of war requifite for boarding and cut-
ting out, as we perceived them coming to an an-
chor as near their forts as pollible. Never was
Britilh loyalty more flrongly perceptible than in
the hope of deftroying if not capturing the greaten
part of the fquadron, which appeared praCticable ;
you can judge of the difappointment that fucceed-
ed, after finding the water fo (hoal, as not to ad-
mit our approaching within the reach of our Eng-
lifh metal. Every officer and man became Volun-
teers to attack them in the boats, but our Noble
Commander found the enterprise too hazardous.
The only refonrce was patience to wait the flow-
ing of the tide, when we made fitil for them,
which they no fooner perceived, than their cables
were cut and all poffible fail made to work into the
harbour, but fuch was the fuperior failing of the
LOIRE, that we brought them to anion, which
laded an hour. The day being far advanced,
obliged us to abandon them for our own fafety.
The refult was that the French corvette was driven
on (bore, with a fchooner and other veffels much
damaged. I cannot Rate the lots of the enemy,
but no man was hurt on board of us or our Con
fort. It would appear incredible to thofe poffeffed
of the kart degree of courage or national honour,
that a lar&e frigate was lying juft infide the pier,
with a fair wind, and every thing ready for fea,
without (hewing the leaft intention to affift the
little unfortunate fquadron."
