• Pomone, off Magdalena, March IL
SIR—I am to acquaint you, that at day-break on
the 13th instant, Magdalena Islands then bearing
West by South, distant about eight leagues, a strange
brig was discovered on our weather-beam, bearing
East, steering to the Southward ; on discovering us
she tacked, we did the same, and made all sail in
chace ;at sun-set we had gained on her so as to dis-
tinguish her courses from the deck; but during the
night it was nearly calm, and at daylight on the 14th
she had sweeped and toted considerably from us.
At eight A. M. it was quite calm, ,and our boats
were sent to tow. Great praise is due to the exer,
tions of the boats' crews, as in spite of his sweeps we
evidently" gained on the chace. About noon a light
breeze sprung up, and soon after the chace was-ob-
served to enter a small cove on the north-west side
of Monto Christo ; as he practised this manceuvre
when (with the breeze we then had) he was nearly
four hours' sail from us, I thought we had been led
`to
ofUrt

the pri va
island,te er, but
she
was set on fire by the crew, and at five she blew up
and was entirely destroyed. The vessel thus consu-
med was a very fine French man of war brig of IS
guns, sixteen carronades, and two long guns forwird.
, She was called l'Etourdie, commanded by Monsieur
de Champagne. L'Etourdie was launched at La
Ciotat about three years since. I did not learn her
destination ; but from the course she was steering
. when first discovered, I suppose she was bound to Tu-
nis or Corfu, and I imagine she sailed from Toulon,
as I know she was lately in that port. I have the
honour to be. &c. (Signed) ROBERT BA II RIE.
