Loan—l have the honour to inform you, that
',is morning, in lat. 54. 47. N. and long.
saw a schooner in the south-west, under
standing towards us, and soon afterwards
her to be an enemy ; as she appeared to
!aliope for a merchant brig I judged it
it not to make any sail until she found
ake; which was at the distance of about
when she bore up and made all sail ; at
fight made all sail in c'hace ; at half past
nn reach of shot, firing the bow guns oc-
at eleven within reach of musket shot,
upon my lee bow, could not get the
to bear (the whole of the marines and
men kept up a constant and well directed
was returned with great spirit) ; at half.
got the great guns to bear with round and
most of the time within pistol shot ; and
so little difference in • sailing, my, great

ible, and which appeared to be his grand

his main-mast went overboard, and the
ills and rigging being all cut to pieces, he
told me he had struck,
proved to be la Comtesse d'Hamhourg, of 14
of which are twelve-pounders, and six 8-
Ind 51 men, from Dunkirk, out eight days,
taken nothing. Mr. Blake, the First Lieu.
gallant and most excellent officer, behaved
my satisfaction. Mr. Borough, Second
and Mr. Roberts, Mastb., did their duty
to themselves, and highly satisfactory to
did all the Warrant, Petty Officers,,Sea-
lames ; and had the weather been so fine
is practicable to board her, I am well con-
would have been carried in a few mi-

assured that the capture of this vessel
the utmost.consequence to the trade to He-
the Baltic, shebeing anew vessel and her
and saih remarkably well, with a most
crew.

ztremely happy our loss has been but small,
three wounded. The serjeant of marines,
particularly to mention, as a highly de-
serving brave man, and, was severely wounded,
receiving two musket shots through his body,
one through his right arts'', before he quitted his
forecastle with the , small-arm men ; the
ooe slightly wounded,
judged it prudent to return to Ifivmooth
prisoners and prize, our sails and rigging in
,taces being cut and shot away, and two of
eairomples feing disabled, by the bolts of the
being broke, I conceive my proceedings will
