rating from the ships of war (which were IPAI
discovered to consist of three ships of the line
only, two frigates, two smaller frigates, or 'tort.
ships, and a convoy of about twenty- sail of yes.
sets), I ordered Rear-Admiral Martin to chase
them, end eight of the best sailing ships, which
standing on contrary tacks, might take advantage
of the changes of the %hid, which was then va.
riable.
At two P. M. the Pomonc having got far fa
windward, was directed by signal to dcrtroy sock
of thq convoy as could be come up with ; and in
die evening site burnt two brigs, two bombard.,
lad a ketch. The enemy before dark was out of
sight, and the ships chasing mot mach advanced,
wore standing to the northward ; whikfrt the aqua.
Brun with me stretched to the southiard. The -
neat morning neither the French nor our pwn
chasing ships were in sight.
This morning Rear. Admiral Martin joined with
his division, as named in the margin*, having again
fallen in with the enemy on the 24th, off the en.
trance of the Rhone, and on the 25th they chased
them on shore : the Robust, of 84 guns, bearing
the flag_ of Rear-Admiral Boudain ; and the Leone
of 74, off Frontagnan, where, the day following,
themselves set fire to them. The Boric, of 74
guns, and a frigate, ran on shore at the entrance
of the port of Cette, where there is little probs.
bility of either of them being saved.
I cannot sufficiently express the high satisfaction
I have felt at the intrepid perseverance of Rear.
Admiral Martin, and of the Captains of the ships
who were with him in the pursuit.
Nothing less ardent, or less skilful, wood
have produced a result so fortunate, Where the
coast near the Rhone is exceedingly shoal and den.
gerous, so that some of the ships were in five and
six fathom water, the weather thick, and the
south-cast wind blowing strong.
1 inclose to you, Sir, Rear-Adm7ral 'Martin's
letter ; and beg to congratulate their Lordships on
three great ships of the enemy being thus dolma..
ed, without the smallest resistance on their part, '
or a shot being fired by the British ships, except
a few by the 'Tigre at the filree, when she was
pushing ashore at Cette; of their two frigates,
the Pumone and Pauline, one hauled her wind
!some time in the night, and fetched into Mar.
iseilles Road.
'The other part of the French squadron ire

found to remain its Toulon by the ships which have.
since examined that port.
I have the honour to he, &e.

, MY LORD—In obedience to the signal for the
ICanopais to chase E.N.E. I stood that way the
whole of the night or the 2311, and the following
d.'y, in company with the Renown, Tigre, Sol.
tan, Leviathan, and Cumberland ; in the evening
four sail wer,. seen, to which we immediately gave
chute, and pursued them till after dark ; i hen,
, from shoal water, alai the wind helm; direct on the.
Ishore near the entrance of the Rhone, irbecanse
necessary to keep to the wind during the night.
The following morning, the 25th, the same ships
were again seen, and chased -between Cette and
Frontigitats,whero they rats on shore. Two of them
(an 80 gun-ship, beadle; a Rear-Admiral's flagtand
• a 74) at the latter place,and one ship of the line and
a frigate at the former. From the shoal water and
intricate), of the navigation, it was Impossible to
get close enough to the enemy's two line of battle
ships near Frentignan, to attack them when on
shore ; for in attempting to do so, one of his
Majesty's ships was under five fathoms water, and
another in less than six. On the 28th, I sent the
boats to sound, meaning, if possible. to boos, the
Channel (if sissy had been found) by which the
enemy's ships could be attacked ; but at night we
had the satisfaction to see them set on bre.
From the circumstances under which the ship
and frigate ran on shore at the entrance of the
port of Cette, I have little doubt the runner will
I be lust ; and the frigate must certainly have re.
! ceived considerable damage ; but they moot be
gut at on account of the batteries.
Your Lordship must be well aware that no.
thing but the great press of sail carried by his
Majesty's ships, and the good look-out kept,
could have enabled them to close with those of
the enemy, from the distatace they were at the
time they commenced the chase.
I have the honour to be, &e.

St It—When the enemy's convoy was chased on
the 23d ultimo, their transport; separated iron
the ships of war, and, under the protection of an
armed store-ship. Two bombards and a tebeck
made fur the bay of Rosas. Wheo the ships of
war were disposed of, as relate,' in my letter of
yeverday, the convoy became the object of my
attention, and on the 29:h the Apollo was sent
lot! Rosas to ceankine what vessels were there, and
how far they were its a situation ass iiLible.
The next day I appointed the ships, as per mar.
cin .t., for this service, under the orders of Cap..
tali) Hallowell, to bring them taut if the wind was
favoneatle, or otherwise to destroy them. The
state of the wind.and sea would not permit this
operation until last night, when, after dark, the
ships bore up fur the hay, and anchored about
five miles from Qs castle of Rosas, under the pro.
tectiott of % hick castle, of Trinity Fort, and of
