".1 have the pleasure tl inform you of our arrival
)sere, with two French frigates in our possession, alter
al% action which was fiught on the 20th of May, . in
which the Astrea bore a considerabl.? Jiare, though
with less loss th.tn our other ships. We were ]wing by
ourselves, quietly mocred ut ,Port Louis, ab'osit the
tith of May, when the signal was made from the
ights for three French 'gates. All the r, st of our
ships were cruizing in different ditectipns : but we
immediately warped nut, both wind and tide against
Ifs, and got clear of the land that evening ; but it fell
era during' - nil and continued so for two days:

sum. We immediately sent a boat to take posses-
sion of doe fir,t, and having no other that could swim,
the Chninde took advantage, and made all sail away
from ust. We immediately pursued her, and had an
`anxious chace of 'three hours; but finding we could
not come up, our rigging, &c. being too much disa-
bled to make sufficient sail, we were with the greatest
regret obliged to give up all hopes of punishing her
' for her perfidy. Having knotted and spliced some
of our rigging as well as we sould, we returned to
find the Galatea and prize ; and at day-light we saw
the prize, who bore down- to us, and the Galatea
and Nereide to windward ass, but they did not seem
inclined to annoy each other. On communicating
with la Renommes, we found that she had nearly
1013 killed and wounded, amongst them the Commo-
dore ; he had been wounded before, and would not
quit his quarters, when a second completed his busi-
ness. Our Lieutenant says he never witnessed such
a scene as on first going on board her • the decks
were strewed with dead. La Nrrcide suffered more,
she had 130 killed and wounded ; her Captain also
was killed. Of la Clorinde's loss I can say nothing,
but believe it was not near so great as the other.—
They had all sworn to go to the bottom rather than
strike; but this is French boasting. They
,certainly
behaved to admiration ; and it is a consolation to
I.think we had an enemy worthy of us. It is most

attack them, their force being too superior, each fri-
gate having as Many soldiers on bovd as they could
stow; and Captain Losack of the Galatea, informed
us he saw the enemy bear up that evening, about two
hours before. We set.every stitch in seal ch of them.
After rtmnilr; fix three hours, at the rate of ten knots,
.without seeing any thing of them, we concluded
Captain Losack must have been deceived ; and, ac-
cordingly, we hauled our wind, and beat up again
to the Isle of France, where. we continued cruiz:ng

we renewed the attack four times, we _ two
men killed, and 14 or 15 wounded, entirely owing
to their elevating their guns too much, and our tak-
ing great pains in manoeuvring our sails. I counted
next morning nearly 100 shot-holes through our
foresail ; these, you know, must have passed pretty
close over my head. We had not a running rope
left whole, and only two shrouds that were not shot
away. We had five union jacks suspended in diffe-
rent places, which were all knocked down. The
Phoebe lost more than we ; she had about 24 killed
and wounded,; one midshipman was killed on board
of her. The Galatea, as I said before, had nothing
to do with the night fight ; she lost her topmasts be-
fore dark, and 10 killed and 45 wo..mded. Had not
the Phoebe taken pin of the fire off her in the calm,
she would have been sunk in ten minutes ; she got
two boats out to tow her head sound, in one of which
every man was kiltled by a shower of grape. My
quarters, the forecastle, or slaughter-house, was on fire
several times, but was put out before it had time to
do much damage. Had the Frenchmen depressed
their guns an inch more, they would have cut every
• excel.
