Copy of a letter from Vice-Admiral D'Augverne, Commander
in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels at Guernsey, to John
Wilson Croker, Esq. dated on beard his Majesty's ship Dip-
Grouville bay, Jersey, the 30th of August, 1810.

SIR-I have the honour to transmit inclosed, for the informa-
tion of myl/4 Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the Master of
the hired cutter Queen Charlotte's report of the very gallant ac-
tion he sustained yesterday afternoon with one of the enemy's
large cutters near Alderney ; when the great disproportion of
force opposed to our small vessel is considered, the conduct of
Mr. Thomas, the Commander of the Queen Charlotte, and his
gallant little crew, appears highly creditable to them.
The Queen Charlotte is armed only with eight four-pounders
and twenty-five men, whereas the enemy's vessel appears to have
been formerly the Swan, one of our Revenue cutters, captured
oboist two years ago off Portland, and is known to be armed with
*blear twelve pounders, from eighty to one hundred men, and
still, with that immense superiority, found it meet to give way to
the distinguished gallantry of our little vessel, wbo besides being
shattered in her rigging aid sails, I have to lament that most of
her wouaded are grievously an, one has died and another is given
over, but the rest are doing well at Alderney, where they were
landed after the action, the cutter having no surgical assistance
on board. I ave the honour to be, Inc.
(Signed) J. D'AUOIMLNE AND SOVILLON,

His Majesty's Hired Cutter Queen Charlotte,
St. Aubin's Bay, August 30, 1810.
SIR-4 have the honour to acquaint you, that pro-
ceedin cif Cherbourg, agreeably to your orders, with
Mr. P. A. M'ilgrave, on the 29th instant, at three
P.M. Alderney bearing S.S.W. three or four leagues,
observed a large cutter in the S.E. standing for us,
with an English white ensign and pendant flying ;
not liking her appearance I made the necessary pre-
paration for giving her as warm a reception as possi-
ble. At half past three lie came close to us, luffed
up, and hauleel down the English ensign, and hoisted
French, and at the same time we gavellim our broad-
side of round and grape, which was quickly returned
by the enemy ; we continued the action within pistol
shot till five P.M. when the enemy hauled his wind
to the N.E. leaving us in no condition to follow him,
having the' boatswain killed, and fourteen wounded,
some of them badly ; among the latter is Mr. P. A.
Nulgrave. At six, P. M. two shore boats came off
from Alderney, and I sent the wounded men by them
on shore.
From the great superiority of the enemy, being a
large cutter of sixteen guns, and full of men; and our
crew only twenty-five men in I trust that the con.
duct of his Majesty's hired cutter Queen Charlotte
will meet your approbation on this occasion.
I cannot say too much in praise of my chief-mate
and pilot, and all my little crew, for their undaunted
bravery and good conduct. I inclose a list of the
killed and wounded.
I have the honour to be, &c,
JOSEPH THOMAS, master,

cth instant.
You will be pleasedc o inform my Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty, that being near in shore off
Studtland, coast of Norway, on the 22d of July, his
Majesty's ship Nemesis in company, I observed a
deep bay in the evening, and sent Mr. *Pherson, the
Master of the Belvidera, to sound round it, who per-
ceiving three vessels at anchor, rowed near to recon-
noitre them; in the night they fired at him, the stran-
gers being Danish gun vessels. On the following
morning the launch, with a twelve pounder carro-
nade in bow, barge, and two cutters of the Belvidera,
were well manned and armed as soon as possible, un-
der the command of Lieutenants Nisbett and Bruce,
and Lieutenant Campbell of the Royal Marines ; and
the launch, pinnace, and yawl of the Neniesis, under
Lieutenants Hndgskeas and Smith ; the seven boats
rapidly advanced to attack,the enemy, which soon be-
gan to cannonade them ; the boats firing their bow-
guns with great effect, the Danish colours were soon
ltruck, and the two gun schooners Balder and Thor,
each carrying two long 24-pounders and six pounder
iPawitzen, and each manned with forty-five men, in
our i?ostosiun ; the gun boat, No. 5, carrying one
111111ounder and 44 men, had repeatedly fired, was
erst pp a Fiera and abandoned by the crew, was
