killed the Englith Captain and so men, while we
10 only five men, all gunners ferving one of the

soon after, la Corneille, which was a-head, lay to,
to take part in the action, and fired fome fbots, but
the enemy's frigate had got fome diftance from us.
Next morning we obferved at fome diftance, a fhipi
of 5o guns, and two other frigates, which chaced I
us, and which had doubtlefs col up on hearing'
the cannonade the preceding evening, but they
were too late; we were near the harbour of Point-
a Pirre, where we anchored the 29th of May, at
eight in the morning.
The arrival of this divifion has produced the
molt agreeable fenfation in this ifland. General,

of a better order of things.
