1 ."44 Be pleated to inform my Lords Commiffioners
of the Admiralty, that the homeward fleet, confin-
ing in all of one hundred and nine fail, left the well
end of Jamaica on the 28th of July, under convoy
of, this !hip, ,he Franchife and Penguin (bop; the
Veteran to fee us through the gulf. On the lath of
Augurs, the Minorca, of London, left the fleet, from
the improper condue of her Mailer, George Wright.
On the 14th, a Spanilh Chip of the line, came down
hefore the wind on the fleet, which the Veteran and
this (hip chafed into the Havannah ; when within
four miles of the batteries, the (hot from this flip al-
DIA; reached her. On the 18th we got through the
Gulph of Florida, all in company, except the Mi.
norca. On the 2 IR, a very heavy gale of wind or
hurricane came on, which lalled two days. Seven fail
we know have gone down, names as undein. Two
more were teen to go down, names unknown, and
moll likely others. One'lltip ran for America. Se-
veral others 101 l mans, and are otherwife confiderably
damaged. The Franchife was teen to the South-
ward the fecond morning of the gale, with her fore-
man gone, .and the fignal of dillrets flying. There
are, at prefent, in company, the Veteran, Penguin,
and 65 fail of merchantmen. This (hip has tottered
much ; her rudder is rendered ufelefs, and cannot be
repaired at tea ; betides making water, her Rem-
frame is Co much fltaken, as to be in confiderahle dan-
ger. Enclofed you will have the opinions of the car-
penters of this (hip and the Veteran, which obliges
me to requen. Captain Evans to flay by 'us, and fee
us into fame port. I intend going into Bermuda, as
it is partly in the way of th, convoy, where every
thin' (hall be done for the fliips getting fpeedily to
England, and if polfible to come off with the convoy.

Wrth this you will receive a copy of my letters,
by the Poirot/nu (loop and FuAaCNISt, • lilt of the
convoy, &c. I have requefled that the Admiral
commanding at any port where the cutter arrives,
will open the letter, and fend out affiflance to the
dillrelTed and fkraggling Mips. While writing thii,
the Ship Carmarthen, then reported to have funk in
the gale, is arrived here. But when I confider the
(late of this (hip, having been reported by the of
airs of the yard, at Jamaica, as unfafe for a winter's
paffage, as well as the two furveys lately taken, that
the lesion fur bad weather approaches fail ; the Car-
marthen having been the worn failing (hip in the
fleet, and towed all the way, until the gale came on,
I um of opinion, it would be improper to prolong
the pelage of this (hip, by taking her under convoy,
therefore requefled Captain Ev•ws to order a fur.
vey by Captains; but he, knowing the date of this
(tip, thinks it unneceffary, as another convoy can
(non be got ready. I will, therefore, make the bell
of my way to England. I have the honour to be, &c.
