" REPORT MADE TO REAR ADMIRAL BARON DUPERRII, COM-
MaNDER IN MET OP HIS MAJESTIS NAVAL FORCE DE.

!.,RE CADIZ. DT MISR ADMIRAL BARON DE• ROTOVIS,
VO4IIIIANDINO THE DIVISION BEFORE ST. TWIRL

" This morning at day break, the wind being east, afresh
breeae and a fine sea, I ordered the Centaur and Trident, of
the line, end the 01erriere frigate, to sail, designing to
'Wick fort St. Petri: At seven-the division was ender
sail, the ewes, leadine, followed by the Trident and the
•'; Gamier,. It was my intention to pass close by the bank
°hocks, e sited Juanhelle. I therefore ordered the hie
corvette, Capt. Besiface, (whirls yoe hail sent me in the
night. and which I had retained) to take the head of the
- line. and to gonad at sech a distance as to be able to let me
• know the depth, and to tack whenever it was less then tea
• a fathom,. This order was well executed, and the division
• • thaw approached St. Petri.
noon I was joined by the Santo Christo schooner,
Litest. 'Noel, whom I ordered to sound to windward, as
twee as possible to the reef aloug the coast, and to let me
e • know the depth.
s • At a enarter past one, I hoisted the signal, on which
. 1 •hoi agreed with one batteries that they might begin O. ir
• , fire, which was done with extreme vigour. When 1 had
• - • gat tothe distance I desired, fort St. Petri hearing south-
• east. I ordered M. Ponee,rommantling the Centaur, to take
, position at this point, whiels was done with greet
• ahi.tty, though the wind was strong. and the currents
fa• co testate. The s.ils brio, taken in with as much order
. • • as celerity. I gave the signal to begin the fire, which the
• fort returned wi.ls she few pieces that it had on that side.
....•Al•aniile.e the Trident advanced ; it was to anchor half a
•..• cable bellied the Centaur. hot the wind varying from
:. s to.S.E., it conl.l not anchor nearer than a cable's length,
.e.. anti began the fire, as soon aa it was moored, receiving the
. i.Crateur that of a battery of the isle of St. Leon. and of
ex a heocry of St. Petri, which also fired on the Santo Christi,.
which was within ft splatter of gunshot. The Guerrieri.
..a :was going to moor behind the Trident, hut I made a signal
to it to take the head of the line; and whether it was that
. the wind failed, or that Ilse currents hindered it, it could
not reach its post, and moored a cattle and a halt to 'it'd.
ward of the Centaur. In this position it began its fire;
e.. but perceiving that it did not resell the tort, and that that
of the Trident did not sufficiently pass it, 1 rent Lieut.
•.'• Thirties's, my airleAle-camp, to order those two vess..la to
• resume their p Isis, the Trident astern of the Centaur,
• and the Uoerrirre before it. It was three o'clock. The
Centaur had been engaged since a (reeler past one;
Fort St. Petri returned the fire only at long inter-
- vials; f thought the time was come to attempt to
storm it. I made a signal to the division to embark the
.; troops in the boats, and to Rend them towards the Centaur,
a. -which was repented with all possible celerity, and I waited
•. (oily for the moment when the Trident and the Goerriere
e. should also have taken their position, and routimosced their
fire, to order the leading, when, at half past three, the f trt
hoisted a white flag, which was immediately saluted by a
thousatoi cries of Vies k Roi. I iantuedistelv sent the boats,
..t•—lievieg on board 420 men of the 12th aid 14th of Line,
and a detachment of grenadi. re df the marine artille. y.—
'Wilts they reached to the foot of the rock on which the
fort is situated. Captain Tenet, who commanded the land-
in•g, sent me a Spanish officer with a .flag of truce, who
' • premised that the gasrison should retire to the Isle of Leon,
under its respective colours, and continue to gainst
the French army. I insisted that they should engage not
to bear arms against France during this war. This was
a •
acceded to. and was going to hr exernted, when the Spa-
... • Dian* fearing to return to the Isle of Leon, preferred being
prisoners ; and our troops immediately took possessiou
of the fort, where the Spaniards had 27 24-pounders, Wass,
a garrison of 180 men. abundance of ammunition, and provi'
sion for 2 months..
