SIR—I have the honour to inform yon, that I en-
tered yesterday morning, with my troops, the town
of Bremen; which I had closely attacked for two
days, and which the French Comaiandant has at
length agreed to surrender by capitulation, in order
tc, spare to the inhabitants, the civil authorities, and
its garrison, the honors of an assault, for which every
prepration had been made. The garrison returns
to France under the condition of not serving against
the Allies during the period of one year, All the
military stores, a great quantity of ammunition, 14
pieces of cannon, and two mortars, magazines of
every description, and very considerable sums of
public money-have fallen into our power, together
with more than MO prisoners, who had been taken
on the preceding days. at the close of a brilliant at-
tack made by the'Cossacks upon the enemy's sharp-
shooters. The cavalry are to make over their horses
to us, and to set out on foot.
This expedition has been executed with such rapi-
dity, that, having passed the Elbe on the 9th October
sear Boitzenlaurg, I penetrated on the 13th by bye
roads and forced marches to the Weser, and the fol-
lowing day I was at the gates of Bremen, without
the enemy's being in the least informed of it.

Copy of a Letter froM Captain Sir Christopher Cole, of Mit Ma-
jesty'. ship the Rippon, addressed to Admiral Lord Keith,
k. B. and transmitted by his Lordship to John Wilson
Croke'', .sq. 1

His Miesty's ship Rippon, off Abrevack, October 21.
MY Loao—l have great satisfaction in reporting
the capture of le Weser, a French frigate of the large
class, mounting 44 guns, and having 340 men, com-
manded by the Captain de Vaisseau Cantzhat, Che-
valier de L'Order Imperiale de la Reunion, by his
Majesty's ship under my command, in company with
the Scylla and Royalist brigs.
She left the Texel on the last day of September,
and had captured two Swedish vessels in the North
Sea, and lost her main and mizen masts in a gale on
the 16th of this month.
Captain WDouald's letter, which I have the ho-
nour to transmit, will acquaint your Lordship with
the perseverance with which he had watched this
- frigate, which he fell in with four days ago, sixty
le tgues to the west of Ushant, and of a gallant joint
attack made by the Scylla and Royalist on the fri-,
gate yesterday, in sight of the Rippon, and upon her
weather-beam.
The judicious measures taken by Captains
nald and Bremer, enabled the latter Officer to join
me at three o'clock this morning, with intelligence of
she enemy's force, whilst the Scylla watched their
antagonist ; and at day-light, the breeze springing
up, gave us an opportunity of closing with the
enemy.
About ten the frigate bore up towards the Rippon
and struck her colours, having exchanged two broad-
sides with the Scylla, and just as the Rippon and
Royalist were within reach.
Being near the French coast, and the prize in a..
most crippled and unmanageable state, I Kaye deem-
ed it necessary to take on board the greater number
pf the prisonds, and to tow her into port.
Enclosed are the lists of killed and wounded on
board the Scylla and Royalist. The enemy had tour
Trilled and fifteen wounded.—l am, Bcc.

.in with a French national frigate,
tinder jury main and mizen-masts, apparently snak-
ing the best of her way for Brest, and judging it not
,prudent to attack such superior force, as (in the event
iof our being crippled) I should not have been able
to have kept sight of her, from the severity of the
weather, I had the good fortune, on the 20th instant,,
to meet with his kiijesty's sloop Royalist, when Cap.
*Ain Bremer, in the handsomest manner, volunteered
• er, join me in attacking her. At half past three P. M.
we bore up in close order, the Scylla on her, quarter,'
and the Royalist on her bow, and commenced the
actiau neat ty at the rime time, which continued for
• an hour and a half, when our sails and rigging being
very much cut, and main-mast severely wounded,
the Royalist nearly in the same predicament, we
hailed off to repair the damages, the weather being
very sqsally, so as to endanger our masts. A man
of war appearing to the northward, I ordered the
Royalist to apprize her of our situation; 41aT-
