boats were bringing her out in a very handsome man-
ner, under showers of grape from the battery ; at
seven she joined tn., and I had the satisfaction to find
that although the vessel was materially damaged in
her hull, masts, and rigging, no man was hurt. She
proves to be the French brig Saint Francois de Paule,
partly laden with ship timber of the largest dimensions.
During this affair a sloop of war was observed to
leeward, and at nine I was joined by his Majesty's
brig Cephalus. On proceeding along the coast at
five I'. M. several vessels were discovered at anchor,
between Civita Vecchia, and the mouth of the Tiber.
Captain Clifford, in a most handsome manner, in-'
stantly offered to lead into the anchorage, and to head
the boats in performing any set vice which might ap-
pear to be practicable ; I therefore .directed him to
anchor the Cephalus as Dear the battery and tinsels 1
as possible, and to point out the soundings by signal, 4,
a service he performed _in a very masterly style, bring-'
ins his sloop up within the range of grape, under a
fire from four nine and six-pounders. The Unito
being anchored shortly after in four fathoms water,
the enemy were quickly driven from their gun', and
the boats sent to Captain Clifford under those officer:
who had distinguished themselves iii the morning,
and three vessels (the others proving fishing-boats)
were brought out under a smart fire of musketry front
their crews, and the soldiers collected on a height
above them, with the same great good fortune which
had attended our previous entet prize ; the only per.
son hurt in either ship being Mr. Simon, master of
the Cephalus, who was slightly wounded in the face
by a grape shot while bringing the sloop to an anchor.
—To Captain Clifford I feel much indebted for his
gallantry and able assistance. He speaks in high
terms of his own officers and men, as well as those
trona this ship, who were employed under him.—
Permit me to remark to you, Sir, that this is the
third time within two months I have had the satisfac-
tion to bear testimony to the zeal and bravery of the
Officers I have Low mentioned.
