Sir—l have the honour to inform you, that the
'ails you Signalled us to chace, on the 6th init.
never came through the Paffage, but rowed up
along Ihore again, and went under Fort Lomara;
I watched for them all night, but in the morning
feeing them no more I left the LURCHF a off the
Morbihan, and proceeded to execute your farther
orders; on that day I faw a convoy courfing round
Croific of is or 16 fail, but was in no hurry to
chace, rather permitting them to get nearer to
St. Gildas, and in the evening flood Otit, and
made the neceffary finals to Nfr. FORBES; it fully
anfwercd my expedations, as he being to wind-
ward turned them all, and they made for the
Villain jun where I was ; about eight we took a
fmall one juft as the battery of St. Jacques was
hailing us, which I immediately manned and fent
11 her with our own boat along fhore, and by four
A. M. found ourfelves in poffeffion of five more ;
this is all they could attempt, as the whole coals
were then alarmed, and the battery of Notre
Dame at the entrance of the river Peners, kept
up fo brine a fire as to fend three Shot through the
laft yard ; but the fpirit of our people was fuch
that they were determined to have her out, and
luckily only one man was nightly fcratchcd with
a fplinter ; on joining the Luac Ina in the morn-
ing I found file had got three more, making nine,
the particulars of which are expreffed in the ad-
joined lift ; the four largeft are decked, and very
capable of going to England, but the otheri can-
not; lance the yth Mr. Folios: has been continu-

Ettradt Of a Letter from Captain 11.01VLRY DULTM, COM-
mander of his MaJefty's Rap Battettoirox, to Ewe Nit-
!CAN, EN. dated at Rio Janeiro, the set► Aorta, ego*.
On Monday the 4th day of Augott, focus after
day-light, four fail were difcovered from the mall-
head in the North-Well quarter, and apparently
!leering about N. by E. At (even A. M. they
hauled their wind, tacked, and Rood towards us,
upon which I bore down with the whole of my
convoy : At non► the enemy perceived our force,
(which was greatly exaggerated in their opinion
by the warlike appearance of the China (hips),
they bore up under a profs of fail, and by fignal
ftparated. I flood for the large& (hip, and not-
withflanding the light and baffling winds, we
came up with her, and after a few chace guns,
and a partial firing for aboot ten minutes, at half
pall five in the afternoon (Tuefday) the fl ruck her
colours, and proved to be the French frigate la
Concorde. of 44 guns, ill-pounders, and 444 men.
commanded by Citizen jtam FR•scots LAII•
Doi.ruz, Capitaine de Vaitfeau, and Chef de Di-
vifion. At liven the [nine evening, the French
frigatela Medee, of 36 guns, :2-pounders, and
315 men, commanded by Citizen DAUM. COU-
DRIP, flruck her colours to the Bow NAV C
Captain Joan HAMILTON, and the Ex [Tit, Cap-
tain Hamav Maitirom. The above frig.ites were
tithe fquadron which failed from Roclefort the

6th day of March, 1799, and having committed
great depredations on the Coaft of Africa, bad
refitted in the Rio de la Plata, and were now crui-
fing on the Coaft of Brazil. La Francbife, of
42 guns and 380 men, commanded by Citizen
Pickles Juaiso, efcaped by throwing a part of her
guns overboard, and alfo her anchors, boats, and
booms, and by night coming on ; as did alfo an
American fchooner, their prize. fitted as a cruizcr.
On this occafion I hope their Lordfhips will per-
mit me to bear teftimony of the fpirit of the offi-
cers and chip's company of the BEL LI (.t.l„/ EUX ; and
I have peculiar pleafure in mentioning the zeal
and aitivity I have ever found in Mr. harms, my
Firft Lieutenant, to whom I only do juftice in
recommending him to their Lordthips' notice and
favour. Too much praife cannot be given to the
Captains, officers, and crews of the different (hips
under my convoy, for their ready obedience to my
fignals, and for the whole of their conduit on that
day, particularly to Captains Hs fa; LTON and ME•
&iron, who very gallantly purfued and captured
the aforefaid frigate, la Medic ; and alfo to Cap-
tain Tome, of the COUTTS, and Captain Siisss.
of the NEPTUNE, who with great alacrity purfued
la Franchife, although they had not the good
fortune to come up with her, for the rcafons above
affigned; and my bell thanks are due to the whole
of the Commanders of the (hips under my convoy,
for their affiftance in taking a number of prifoners
on board their refpeilive flips. We arrived at Rio
Janeiro on Tuefday the tzth of Auguft.

During my flay off the Bar of Oporto I cap-

convoy, and in an hour more would have captured
another, as the was within bail when we faw her.
