His Majefty's Ship Leda, off Monte Video, September 9.
Sir--In obedience to your fignal to flip, at ten A.
M. we made fail in chace of a brigantine (landing to-
wards the river St. Lucia ; at two P. M. Point del
Efpincllo bearing N. about four miles, and eonceiv.
ing ourfelves near the Rock La Panda, tacked !Lip,
with an intention of making a fhort board to prevent
the enemy from gaining the river; shortly after the
chace not being able to weather the Rocks off. the
Print, (he bore up and ran for Monte Video t tacked,
and made all fail towards her, and at half paft three
drove her on dime, dole under the Pointa de las
Yaguec, when (he Spanith colours ; anchored
in four fathoms within gun (hot ; haled out the
large cutter, pinnace, and launch, and fent them
manned and armed, to endeavour to bring off or de
(troy the enemy ;—Lieutenant PAR !Mt and Mr.
O'GRADY, Mate, in the large cutter ; Mr. LASCiL.
L Es, Mate, in the Pinnace ; and Lieutenant Srawarr,
and Mr. STERN e, Midfhipman, in the launch, with a
carronade to cover the boats ; during the time they
were pulling to the vela, we fired' from the (hip, to
prevent, if poffible, the enemy from collating. At
fix P. M. the cutter anti pinnace returned ; Licute
nant PARKSIL reports his having boarded the enemy,
The wa, pierced. for fourteen gun,, had none on board,
and deferted by the crew ; from the heavy fe.s and
(late of the veffel, he found it impoffible to get her
off or dearoy her by fire, he therefore cut the cable
and left her to drift further in among the breakers.
The wind veered more to the fouthward after the
heats left the (hip, the launch unavoidably funk and
wa. loft, and in the a 8 of taking out her crew, about
two hundred men, who had before concealed them-
laves behind the fand hills, commenced a fire of
mulketry on the other boats, aad unfortunately
wounded Lieutenant STEWART and three men, who
were with much difficulty brought off. Lieutenant
PAill[sl9 and thofe with him, appear to have acted
with great ...cal ; and had the weather been more
favourable I make nn doubt they would have done
themfelves great credit, and had to contend with a
vtfible bilked of an invilible force. I cannot conclude
this without mentioning that it is the fecond wound
received this war by Lieutenant StRWMIT, in the
ferric* of his country ; and I unit their Lordlhips
will confider him entitled to their proteflion, his lalt
wound having occafioned the lots of his left arm
snot* above the elbow joint, but I am happy to fay I
be is now in a fair way of recovery. Inclofed I have '
the honour to tranfmit a lift of the names of the
vtoended. I am, &c. (Signed) mos. HONYMAN.
