Sir—Being off Ferrol, working to.the Weftward,
with the wind wefterly, on the evening of the ad. we
obferved a frigate in the N. W. snaking fignals ;
made all fail to join her before night, and followed.
by the Mips named in the margins, we came up with
her at eleven at night ; and at the moment fhe joined
us, we raw 'fix large (hips near us. Captain Baasa
informed me he had been ehaeed by the Rotheforte
Squadron, then clofe to leeward of us. We were de-
lighted. I &fired trim to tell the Captains of the
Chips of the line aftern to follow me, as I meant to
engage them direilly ; and immediately bore away
in the Cssez for the purpofe, making all the fignals
1 could to indicate our movements to our (hips ; the
moon enablCd us to fee the enemy bear away in a
line abrtaft, clofely formed; but we loft fight of
them when it fet, and I was Obliged to reduce our
fails, the HERO, Coueaoeux, and JEoLus being the
only sips we could fee. We continued fieering to
the E. N. E. all night, and in the morning nbfesved -
the SANTA MARGARITA near us; at nine we.difeo-
, vcred the enemy of four fail of the line in the N. E.
under all fail. We had alto every thing. fat, and
came up with them fall; in the evening, we obferved
three fail afiern; and tbe Pasoan II (poke toe at night.

upon their rear, and was *5lO joine4 by the Putoeute.
A little before noon, die Fenn& tiodigteilliiition
unavoidable began to San is dick iris sioll

tha fame, and / consmenieated my intention by hail-
ing to the Captains, " that I Ihould attack the Centre
and rear," and at noon began the battle ; in a &art ,
time the van fhip of the enemy tacked, which aimoll
direftly made the aCtion dole and general ; the Na-
ir u a joined foon after we tacked, which we did at
foon as we could get the hips round, and I direfted
her by fignals, to engage the van ; at half pail three
the action ceafed, the enemy having fought to admi_
ration, and not furrendering till their Mips were un-
manageable. I have returned thanks to the Captains
of the (hips of the line and the f►igates, and they (peak
in high terms of approbation of their refpeftivc offi. 1
cers and flips' companies. If any thing could add
to the good opinion I had already formed of the offi-
cers and crew of the Caasaa, it is their gallant con-
due in this day's battle. The enemy have fuffered
much, but our !hips not more than is to be espeCted
on thefe occafious. You may judge of my furprife,
Sir, when I found the !hips we had taken, were not
the Rochefort fquadron, but from Cadiz. I have the
honour to be, Sec. (Signed) a. J. STRACHAIII.
