ADMIRALTY OFFICE, FEBRUARY 6.
The follown,g, are Copies of Dispatches which have been received
at ths Office, from Vice Admiral the Honourable Sir Alexan-
der Cochrane, K. B. Commander in Chief of his Majesty's
Ships and Vessels at the Leeward Islands, addressed to John
Wilson Croker, Esq.
Potopee, Fort Royal Bay, Martinique, December 11, 1809.
Sir—l stnd herewith, the copy of a letter from Captain Bal-
lard, of the Blonde, detailing the particulars of an attack on an
enemy's privateer. I have the honour to be, tee. (Signed)
ALEX. COCEIXANE.

' I have desired Captain Miner to
port, as probably most of the supplies be
part of the island, may make for it. I
having had earlier information of her being its
it is likely she might have been taken before the sup-
plies which she brought, consisting of flour, beef, Ite.
were landed.

His Majesty's ship Thetis, off N. W. Part of
Guadaloupe, Dec. 13, 1809.
,Sir—l have the honour to acquaint you, that the
brig you directed me to reconnoitre at the Hayes,
proved to be the French national corvette.le Nisus,
commanded by Monsieur Le Netvel, Capitaine de
frigate, brought out of that port yesterday evening.
The gallantry displayed by Captain Elliot, of the
Pultusk, who headed the marines of this ship, the
Pultusk, Achates, and Bacchus, with a party of 75
seamen, secured the possession of this vessel, and the
destruction of every defence at the port of the Hayes.
The difficulties they had to encounter in finding their
way through thick woods, over a high hill, with-
out any path or guide, addi an instance to the perse-
verance and intrepidity of British seamen and marines.
It was dark before this gallant party found their way
to the fort. Their charge made upon it was irresisti-
ble • the enemy (amounting, by the account of one
of the prisoners,. co three hundred men) fled after a
slight resistance, and the brig surrendered immedi-
ately upon the guns of the fort being turned upon her,
and was bronght out by Captain Elliott, whoa left
Lieutenant Belchier, First of this ship, in charge of
the destruction of the battery, which he completely
effected, setting fire to the buildings, spiking. the
guns, and throwing the carriages and ammunition
over the cliff. • I should be deficient in duty not to
report the zeal and ability displayed by that officer in
the performance of this service, as well as the assist-
ance his abilities have afforded me whenever called
upon ; and the credit Lieutenant Carr has added to
his character, and the gallantry Of the Attentive in
keeping up a fire on the batett and brig for upwards
of six hours, a considerable part of the time within
range of grape.
I am ratified at' the conduct of every officer and
man of this ship, keeping up a constant fire, and
working in a very narrow harbour with 120 men out
of the ship. Captain Elliott reports the conduct of
his ship's company, and of Lieutenants Rua and
Cooke, and the marines, as well as of every officer
and seaman of the landing party,in the highest terms
Conceiving it of much importance to prevent the
enemy getting guns mounted again at the fort, and
cutting off reinforcements from Basseterre, which the
prisoners report were expected, I have thought it my
duty to remain off the Hayes in hopes of accomplish-
ing that object, and preventing any vessels getting
into that port, or their getting round 'the cargo of
le Nisus, which I understand to be a supply of pro-
visions, and is in the town ; most of her crew got on
shore from her after surrendering : she sailed from
L'Orient on the 30th October, and arrived at the
Hayes the Ist of this month, and was ready again
for sea, laden with coffee. I am happy to add, that
not a man has been lost ; the Boatswain's Mate and
one seaman on board the Attentive, one marine and
one seaman belonging to this ship, wounded on shore.

French brig corvette, of sixteen twenty-four pounder
carronades and one hundred and nine men, including

SIR—I have great satisfaction in acquainting you.
that, on Sunday, the 17th inst. while running down i
on the North side of Grandterre, I received informa-
tion from the boat of a small privateer belonging to
Antigua, commanded by a Mr. Morris, that_ a
French national brig was between Guadaloupe and
Montserrat, on which I immediately proceeded in the
direction pointed out, and at noon was fortunate
enough to get sight of her, and, after a chace of 38
hours, she surrendered to his Majesty's slOop under
my command, close under Santa Cruz. She is the
national brig le Papillon, commanded by Monsieur
de la Gentiere, Capitaine de frigate, mounting 14
24.-pounder carronades, and two long sixes, with 110.
men on board, 30 of whom are troops.- She was from
Bourdeaux, hound to Guadaloupe, had been 33 days
our, with 300 barrels of flour on board, fie of which
she threw overboard during the chace. The Papil-
lion is a vessel of large dimensions, two years old, sails
fay, and appears to me to be well calculated in every
point for his Majesty's service.
It is a pleasing part of my duty to represent to yeu
the alacrity and teal shewn by every officer and man
under my command, during the chace ; and I beg to
introduce to your notice Lieutenant k enry Loney,
First Lieutenant, who shewed himself oI this and all
other occasions a most active and zealous officer.

His Majesty's Ship Blonde, Saints, September 25,1809.
Sir—The signal for an enemy's vessel was made
from the hill, standing for Basse Terre ; the boats of
the vessels named in the margin*, were sent in pur-
suit of her, under the orders of Lieutenant Richard-
son, of this ship. On their approach she ran on shore
in a bay between two batteries, which kept-tip a very
heavy cross fire at the boats ; but that .was not an
obstacle to prevent their getting possession of her, and
attempting to tow her out, although a very large
body of men nith small arms were firing at them out
of bushes ; she was bilged, and they left her.
I beg leave to recommend to your notice Lieute-
nant Richardson, for his brave conduct ; he speaks
highly of the cool and determined valour of every in-
dividual employed on this service.
Mr. Thompson, Master, and one sailor of the
Blonde, were most severely wounded ; the latter
soon after died ; Mr. Thompson's right arm has been
amputated ; I hope he will do well. I beg to recom-
mend him to your particular notice. I have, &c.

nt,,• Absence, I request you tolay before the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty ; the total destruction of the schooner privateer

His Majesty's Sloop Hazard, off St. Mary's,
Guadaloupe, October 17, 1809.
Sir—Cruizing on my station blockading Point-a-
Petre, I'elotus in company, at day-light this morning
I observed a privateer schooner, moored under the
battery of St. Mary. I immediately determined on
the capture or destruction of her. Both ships stood
in sufficiently close to silence the battery effectually,
and cover our boats, which were dispatched under
the orders of Lieutenants Robertson and }ln, First
Of their respective ships ; and I am happy to say
they succeeded in boarding her ; but as she was
moored to the shore with a chain from the mast head
and each quarter, finding it impossible to bring her
out, they shortly after blew her up.
In justice to the officers and men employed on ibis
service, I cannot omit particularizing the very gal-
lant manner in which they approached the schooner,
under a very heavy fire of grape from the battery,
until it was silenced by, the ships, andof grape and mus-
ketry from the privateer, until they were pearly
alongside, when the enemy quitted her, and joined
a long line of musketry on the beach, and two field-
pieces, to the fire of which they were exposed during
the whole time they were preparing to blow her up,
*t a distance of not more than ten yards.
The privateer had one long eighteen pounder on
a circular carriage, and two swivels, about 100 tons,
and appeared to have from eighty to one hundred
men ; she w.ts coppered and appeared new, and left
Point-a-retre yesterday on a cruize. Our joint loss
has been fifteen killed and wounded, lists of which
are inclosed ; that of the enemy must have been very
considerable, as the shore was completely lined with
musketry, exposed to a heavy cannonade from both
ships, as well as from the small arms in the boats.
I should be very deficient in my duty was I not to
mention the very gallant style Captain Huskissen, of
the Pelorus, supported me in totally destroying the
enemy's battery by a joint fire.
It is impossible for me to express my idea of the
very gallant manner in which Lieutenants Robertson'
and Flinn conducted themselves on. this occasion ;
and they speak in the highest terms of Messrs. Bris•
bane and Hunter, Midshipmen of this ship, Mr. Fer-
guson, Boatswain, and Mr. Scott, Mate of the Prio-
ri's, who, as well as every individual employed, were
volunteers on the service. I have the honour to be,

Sceptre, off Guadeloupe, Dec. 12.
Sinn—The moment I took charge of the squadron
you did me the honour to place.under my command,
I that instant rejected the enemy's truce, conceiving
it a mere French finesse to procrastinate our attack
on their frigates, at an anchor in Porte a la Duche.
The Captains of the squadron most readily entered
into my plans, which, and that ready zeal manifested
throughout the squadron, claims my most grateful-
thanks. To Captains Ballard and Miller all possible
praise is due, for so judiciously placing their ships, in
a situation nearly annihilating the enemy's two fi
gates, of 40 guns each.; the outer ship's masts gone
and on fire, by the time this ship and the rest of
the squadron, from baffling winds, czuld render as-
sistance.
I lament that this little affair has not been atchie-
ved without bloodshed. To that gallant off cer Cap-
tain etmeron I gave discretionary orders, with the
other Commanders, aided by the armed boats, to act
against the batteries ; and while in possession of the
Northernmost fort, which we had before silenced, he
received a wound' from a musket-ball, and afterwards
his mortal wound from a swivel shut. In him the
service has lost a most meritorious and good otliccr.
