Extract of a letter from an Officer on board one
of the ships of Admiral MARTIN'S division in the
late affair in the Mediterranean : --.•
4 4 RAT OP ROSAS, NOT. 1.

" I am happy to inform you, that, on the 25th
ultimo. the Anniversary of the Accession of our
august King to the Throne, three ships of the line
were lust to the enemy, though not added to our
force in this quarter. The Pentane had joined us!
on Sunday, the 22d ult. the signal Li) ing for an
enemy's fleet at sea. On the 23d, the Canopus'
signal was made to chace to the E. N. E. the wind
being N. E. Chaced to windward all night, on
She starboard tack, carrying a heavy press of sail ;
and, although we sprung our rnain.tomast, we
still kept company with the p.
Renown, Tigre, Sul-
tan, Lt-,:iathan, and Cumberland, which ships
were found near us at day.light. With these,
the wind now at S. 1.1 .and the weather. very
hazy, with a heavy head swell, we pushed an,
onikr an extraordinary sail, on the starboard tack,
till the evening) when we bore up in chase of
four sail, which we pushed into shoal water,
near the mouths of the Rhone. Kept our wind
for the night.—Tacked and stood in again,
early on the 25th : at seven A. M. bete up again
'after the same four ships, and drove them ou
Shure, ander all sail, near Frontignan, its sight
of Moutpollier, and under the batteries of Cette,
being ourselves, whets we hauled oil, in less than
six fathoms water, and a strong breeze right on
the shore, and within point.blank shot of the
enemy. Providentially none of us got aground.
A shot from Cette struck the Tigre, and a shell'
burst alongside, but did no damage.
" In the afternoon, the mien mast of one, and
the main and wizen mast of the other, on shore
near Frontignan, went by the board. The
former, an 84-gun ship, bearing a K.ear.Admiral's
flag, and the latter, a large/4. It was now evi-
dent that they were lost to the enemy, hut to make
certainty doubly sure, the boats of the squadron
were sent in, when the wind and swell moderated
on the evening of the 286, to sound for a channel
towards them. At eight r. at. however, we had
the pleasure to see them its flames. At eight mi.
noes after tea, the 74 blew up, and at twenty
minutes past tea, the 84-gun ship, with a liorri.
hie explosion, was destroyed entirely. As to the
74 and frigate, near the batteries of Cette, there
can be uo doubt of the former being lost, and the
latter must have been materially damaged."
