It will no doubt afford their Lordthips much lath.

Captain OW Eli makes on the condo& of his Majelly's

extent of the lots that has been fuflained, and that

Sir—Being off Cape Grifnez, and proceeding to
my nation before Boulogne, I this afternoon, about
ball-pall three, dikovered a divifion of the enemy's
veffels, confiding of three pram (hips, feven brigs,
aad,fifietn 'ruggers, which Coen after bore up to the
wetiward, keeping chafe to the beach, under cover
Alf their batteries, and accompanied by horfe artillery,
making the heft of their way to Shelter themfelves
within the Bane de I.aine. By making all fail to
windward I was enabled to dole the praams (which
kept together) about a quarter helot e five, and to
open my fire upon them within the diflance of grape
Aot, under the high land of Cape Blanc Net, the
enemy Rill purring to the weßward, and returning at
6ra a brills fire, bit it latterly flackened much:—
this running fight continued till near fix, when, hav-
ing been thrice obliged to Aar out into deeper water,
we found nurfelves (fill within the end of the Banc
de Laine, where the falling tide prevented us from
following them, and obliged us to haul of. Our
little Calais fry:radian-was to windward following the
enemy, of which the Oacsfes and BAISLISK joined
me in the erft of the attack, giving Inc every fup-
part and *Silence during the whole of the anion ;
the commanders gave me much fatistallion in con-
doning them. The other veils of that fquadron did
illot get within gun mot ; Captain Blows will of
emote make his report to Vice• Admiral HOLLOWAYS'
bat i (poke him in palling, and was pleated to learn
he bad fullairsed no damage. I endeavoured to clofe
the enemy again as they pitted from behind the Banc
In round Cape Grifnez, and did get fight of a few
of the vefiels ; but though we paired within half gun-
Sot of the Cape, the enemy were fo effenually
fereened from our fight by the dark tirade of the land,
-that I could do nothing, and am unable to fay whe-
ther the whole number got down to Boulogne, or
whether (as I furpea) a part of them anchored in
Whitfand Bay. Lieutenant PATHS, though ill, was
upon deck, and afforded me, as he has done in every
infiancs, the greattit aid ; and it is not poffible for
me to (peak too highly ut the conchs& of every officer
and every man; each, in his ilation, gave me the
fullers tatirfaeinr.: hot it gives me ferrous pain to
add, that, of thee brave fellows, one was killed and
ten wounded (three mortally), befides the Third
Lieutenant, C14•11.A5 DI/ARM/GM 6TKOIiG, of whole
affidance I wa. deprived •before a [hot was fired by
us, and whole lots I feel the more, as two years ter.

worth • his wounds, however, are not dangerous.—

was howevet falling In rapidly, and the enemy kept
in filch amid water that it was not pedfible to dote
with him, to take that advantage which, by our fire,
we had fo manifealy over him. It falling alto dark,
and being in lets than three fathoms water, I con&
dered it proper to haul off and anchor, having no
perfon on board acquainted with the &oak to the

acquaint your Lordfhip, that in Lieutenant GRUB.
I av's gallant zeal to dole with the enemy, agreeably
to my orders, the CONFLICT took the ground, and
the tide lett her fo rapidly that every endeavoui he
ufed to get her afloat was unfuceefsfal, and he was
under the neceffity of quitting her with his people.—
The darknels that carne on before the dole of the
action, prevented me from being aware of this unfor-
tunate accident till Lieutenant ORMSBY came on
board the CRUMt with his people after we bad an-
chored. I immediately ordered him with his people
back to the CONFLICT, to tree every exertion to get
her afiriat when the tide made, or, in the event of his
not bcmg able to fucceed, to deftroy her, being then
in hopes that the enemy were not aware of her fitua- •
tion. I fent the ADMIRAL MITCHELL cutter to pro-
w& and Ala him ; and the CRUIZIR'S boats were
alfo fent under Mr. FOTHIROILL, mailer of the
Csutzte, who very commendably •volunteered his
let vices. The ebb tide prevented the boats getting
in for a confiderable time ; when they got near they
had the mortification to find the CONFLICT high and
dry on the beach, and in complete poffeflion of the
enemy. His boats accordingly returned to the
CROIREI at two A. N. making their report of the
hate 01 the Centrum As I contidered it my duty to
m ike every attempt to fare the King's Ihip, or at
lean pi event her falling into the hands of the enemy,
I determined to attack her with the two cutters, by
laying her on board at high water, when I knew the
I cutters could get dole along fide of her. They wete
accordingly lent, having, in addition to their own
crews, Lieutenant Ctossy, and the whole of the
Cum FLICT'S thip's company, to which I added ten
picked men and half the marines from the City ir FR,
under the orders of Lieutenant A. GARLAND, aging
Lieutenant of the Ca v izFa, the whole being the
command of Lieutenant Foists of the Grimm •
cutter. Lieutenant FORBES proceeded with great
gallantry and (pith to put his orders in execution,
but found, on arriving dole to her, the enemy had
• winded the head of the CoNTLIcr in (bore, with her
bead fails full to forge her on the beach, and had he

not being therefore poffible to carry her in this lona.
tion, he returned to the Cato ZER. It is with great
pain I have to relate to your Lordfhl!, the cutter re-
ceived very confiderable damage in handing in,
from the howitzers and field artillery which the ene-
my had collefled on the beach doting the night, by
which one man was killed and (even wounded.
amongit the latter, much have Ito regret, that Lieu-
tenant A. GARLAND, ailing Lieutenaat of the Caul-
, • zee, has loft Lis right leg very high up, who was
I with admirable gallantry, with his party, getting in-
, to the boats to board the enemy, even under the dif-
, conraging circumllances of her being hill aground
when he received the wound. I hope it will not be
thought intrufire, although it has not been my for-
rt tune to meet with that fuccefs which the gallant ex-
ettionA of the officers and men under my command
entitled them to, but only to relate misfortune, if, in
!juftice to their merits, I beg to convey to you► Lotd•
'Thin. the arongelli teltimoil of the real and gallantly
with which they clefed with the enemy. I mutt alfo
intrude en your Lordthip to recommend to your pro.
tettion (if he fursives wound) Lieutenant A.

has reeved his time and p.:IIA, and whole general
good coodi.sl as an oilier,, fence he has been wilt tne,
entitles him to my warnwit appraratior, indcpendynt
of his late niistor tine, which I troll will plead my
eccure fur thus tielPaing on year Lordthip. I em
dole the copy of a letter from Lieutenant ORMSBY
to Ole, giving the panic slat s of the unfortunate lots
of the CORE LICT, which Eaves me nothing to add,
but to repeat my admit ation of his conduit whill en-

by which that reffel is got into the poirellion of he
