(-lace on Saturday rids August. '
On the 30th captured . the. British brig Lettice,
Henry Cockbain, waster; and Slat August the Sri.t
tish brig . Bon AccOrd, .A4un ,DUrny, master. In.
the morning of the IstSepiembee,- discovered a con-
voy of ten sail to karst d, in charge of the Armadlyi

in cutting out the. British Itig Mary, John D. Allen,
master, laden with brass cannon, •taken from the
Epauiards, iron cannon and military stores, from 01-1
braltar to England, removed the prisoners, set her
on tilt, and endeavoured to capture another of the
convoy, but was chased off by the Armada.
On the evening of the same day, at half-past six,
while going tree, discovered four vessels nearly at the
same time, two on the starboard, and two on the lab..
hoard bow, hauled up for tho one most on the star-
board bow, being farthest to windward. At seven
the chacc (a brig) commenced making signals with
flags, which could not be distinguished for want of
light, and soon after made various ones with lanterns,
rockets, and guns. At 26 minutes after nine, having
the chace under our lee-bow, the 12 pound canons&
was directed to be fired into him, which he returned,
ran under his lee to prevent his escaping, and at nine
minutes after nine commenced the action. At ten
o'clock, believing the enemy to be silenced,orders were
given to cease firing, when I hailed and asked if he
had surrendered. No answer being given to this, and
his fire having recertnnenced, it was again returned.
At 12 minutes after 10, the enemy having suffered
greatly and having snide no return to our two last
broadsides, I hailed him the second time, to knew if
he had surrendered, when he answered in the afErma.

the boat lowered to take possession. In the act of
ldwering the boata second brig was discovered alit:Al
distance a4tern, and atanding for us, Sent the-creir,
to their quarters, prepared every thing for anotheel
action, and avraited his coming up; at 36 minutes 'Mtn'
10, discovered two more sail a4tern standing enwardit
us. I now felt mself compelled to forego the satisfae-,
non of destroying the prize. Our braces having bees
cut away, we kept of the wind until others could be
rove, and with the expectation of drawing the second
brig from his cosnpastibfss, but in the last we were dis-
appointed.
The second brig continued to approach us until die
came close to outstern, when she hauled by the wind,'
fired her broadside,• whkh cut our rigging and salll
considerably, and shot away a lower main cross tree,
and retraced her steps to join her consort, when we
were necessitated to abandon the prize; he appeared
in every respect a total wreck. He continued for some
tune firing guns or distress, until probably delivered'
bv the two last vessels who made their appearance.
'the second brig could have engaged us if he had
thought proper, as he neared us fast, but contented
himself with firing a broadside, and immediately re-
turned to his companions. it is with real satisfaction
