Northumberland, off the Penmarks,
May 24, 1819-
Six,—l have the honour to inform you the object'
of the orders I received from you, on the 19th inst.
to proceed elf L'Orient,for the purpose of intercept-
ing two French frigates and a brig lately seen at sea,
ha hcCn aceozni,ii,n:.d, by their total destruction, at
the entrance of that port, by his 1111.ieqy's ship un-
Oer my command (the Growler gun-brig being in
company), under the circumstances 1 beg lease to
rt.l te to you.
On Friday, the 2:2d inst. at a quarter after ten A.M.
the N. \V. point of the Isle Groa, bearing from the
,Nor:humberlatid north by compass, ten miles distant,
ands e wind very light from W. by N. they were disco-
vered in the N.W crowding all possible sail before it ,
for L'Orient. My first endeavour was to cut them off
to windward of the island, and a signal was made to
the Growler (seven miles off in the S. W.) to chase,
but finding I could not effect it, the Northumber-
land was pushed by every exertion round the S. E.
end of Groa, and, by hauling to the wind as close as
I could to leeward of it, I had the satisfaction of
fetching to windward of the harbour's mouth, be-
fore the enemy's ships reached it. Their comman-
der seeing himself thus cut off, made a signal to his
consorts and hauled to the wind on the larboard tack
to windward of Point Taleet, and they appeared to I
speak each other. I continued beating to windward
between Groa and the Continent to close with them,
exposed to the batteries on both sides, when I stood
within their reach, which was unavoidable. The
wind had by this time freshened considerably, and
was about W. N. W.: at forty-nine minutes after !
two P. M. the enemy (in force as above described)
bore up in close line a-head, and under every sail
that could be set, favoured by the fresh wind, made
a bold and determined attempt to run between me
and the shore, under cover of tire numerous batteries
with which it is lined in that part. I placed the
Northumberland to meet them as close as I could to
the Pointe de Pierre Laye, with her head to the
shore, and the main-topsail shivering, and pads dis-
positions for laying one of them alongside ; but they
hauled so very close round the point, following the
direction of the coast to the eastward of it, that, in "
my ignorance of the depth of water so near the shbre,
I did not think it practicable, consistent with the ,
safety of his Majesty's ship (drawing near twenty- I
five feet) to prosecute that plan. I therefore bore
ep aed steered parallel to them at the distance of
about two cables' length, and opened the broadside '
on them, which was returned by a very animated and
well-directed fire of round, grape, and other de.
scriptions of shot, supported by three batteries, for I
the space of twenty-one minutes, and was very de-
structive to our sails and rigging. My object dur- ;
log that time was to prevent their hauling outside the '
dry rock named Le Graul, but is steering sufficient-
I), close to it to leave them no room to pass between
me and it, and at the same time to avoid running on
it myself, the utmost difficulty and anxiety was pro-
.duced by the cloud of smoke which drifted a-head of
the ship and totally obscured it. However, by the I
care and attention of Mr. Hugh Stewart, the Master, I
the ship was carried within the distance of her own I
length on the south-west side, in quarter less seven
fathoms, and the enemy were inconsequence obliged,
as their only alternative, to attempt passing within I
it, where there wa: not water enough, and they all I I
grounded, under eve-y sail, on the rocks between it
and the shore. I

!.

The sails and rigging of the Northumberland
were so much damaged, that I was obliged to leave
the enemy to the effects of the falling tide, it being
only one-quarter ebb, while I repaired the rigging
and shifted the foretop-sail, which was rendered en-
tirely useless ; working to windward during that
time under what sail I could set, to prevent falling
to leeward ; in which interval, at five o'clock, the
Growler joined, and fired on the enemy occasion-
ally. At twenty-eight 'minutes after five, I an-
chored the Northumberland in six and a half fa.
thorns water, Point de Pierre Laye bearing N.W.
half N., the citadel of Port Louis E. three-quarters
N., and the rock named Le Graul N. half E., two
cable's length distant, and her broadside bearing on
the enemy's two frigates and brig, at point blank
range, all of them having fallen over on their sides
twit the shore as the tide left them, and exposed their
copper to us, and the main-masts of one frigate
and the brig were gone ; and from thirty-four mi-
nutes afh•r five till forty-nine minutes past six
(which was near the time of low water), a delibe-
rate and careful tire was kept up on them, at which
time, believing I had fully effected the object of
my end.avonrs, the crews having quitted their
vesseis, ail their bottoms being pierced by very many
of our shot, se low down as to ensure their filling
on the ri4ing tide, and the leading frigate being corn-
Illie•ely in .1111114, communicated to the hull from a
ire wl.ieh brae out in her foretop, I got under sail.
Three batteries fired at the ship during the whole
time she was at anchor, and although the position
was so far well chosen that she was out of the range
of two of them, the other (to which the enemy's ves-
sels were nearest) reached her, and did as much exe-
cution in the hull as all the fire she had been exposed
to before.

Admiral Lord Keith has transmitted to John W.
Croker, Esq. a letter from Captain Sc4nerville, of his
Majesty's ship Rota, to Rear-Admiral Sir Harry
Neale, giving an account of the capture, on the 21d
inst. by the boats of that ship, under the directions of
Lieut. Turner of L'Espadon French privateer, of St.
Maloes, pierced for ten guns,' three mounted, sad
manned with 45 men.

The Rota had one man killed and five wounde&;
the privateer, seven killed, and four wounded.

Carlton House, May 28, 1812.
This day his Excellency the Duke del Infantado,
First Member of the Supreme Council of Regeucy
of Spain and the Indies, acting in the-same of bis
Catholic Majesty Ferdinand the Seventh, had a pri-
vate audience of his Royal Highness the Prince Re-
gent, previously to his departure for Spain : to
which he was conducted by Robert Chester, Esq.
Assistant Master of the Ceremonies.

I directed the Commander of the Growler to stand
in and fire, to prevent the enemy from returning to
their vessels after had ceased.

Foreign-Office, May 25, 1812.
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been
pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his Ma-
jesty, to appoint Peter Carey Tupper, Esq. to be
his Majesty's Consul in the province and city of Va.
lencia.

At five minutes before eight, the frigate on fire
blew up with an awful explosion, leaving no remains
of her visible. At the close of day I anchored for
the night, nut of reach of the batteries on both sides,
Point Taleet bearing N. N. W. half W. S. E. point
of Groa S. S. W. half W. the enemy's vessel* N. by
E. At ten, the other frigate appeared to be on fire
also (some smoke having been seen on board her
from the time the tiring ceased), and at half past
eleven, t lie flames heist forth from her ports and every
part with unextinguishable fury, which unlooked-for
event leaving me nothing more to attempt in the
morning, the brig being quite on her beam ends, and
very much damaged by our shot in every part of bee.

at midnight, with a very light air from the north-
ward, with the Growler in company, profiting 01:

flinch oppression pi•evailed in our prisons. le case
had reached him that very day, which he would state
to the house. A person of the name of Godfrey
butt been confined in the same' prison, and being
troubled with a severe bowel complaint, he had re.
„arse to spirits'for relief. The use of them was at
lart denied to him, and on a relapse, medical assist.
once was brought him. His medical attendant • pre.
.ri•ibed to him the use of the same eordiali,
he get better. One night he had another re 4
laps., and disturbed the prisoners with his cties,
who wished to, get into his cell to afford him re.
lief or assistance. • The turnkey, however, said he
could not distnib the Governor, although they• re.
presented to him that the man was in the.agonies of
death. At length he ventured to awake the Go.
v,a.inr, but medical assistance arrived too late, for;
it; a few hours the man died. On the Coroner's In.
quest were Slyer& men under the influence of the
Governor of the prison. One et the medical men
said, that he was called an hour too late; and an-
ether, that even than lathe medical assistance would
have been unavailing. •

ligion, or party ; and we know, from experience, that
the exercise of virtue is not exclusively confined to
those who oppose the measures of the Crown. It is
no less from Mr. NirnittFonce, the decided friend
of Mr. PEncri- aad from Lord ARDN, his
brother, than from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and
Mr. NN'tiITI3IIE.AD, that I would implore compas-
sion for a destitute family.. What slander might
attribute to political animosity in the latter, magna-
nimity would claim as her own in the fortnor ; I
would even appeal, in preference, fo the widow and
relations of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer,
than to his declared opponents in either Rouse of
Parliament. As a wife and mother, Mrs. PERCEVAL
may well be supposed to en tp* into ill the distressing
feelings of Mrs. BELEINGHAiI, and' to sympathise
with her in a loss similai to her own,. though MS.
tained under circumstana s widely different, with very
different results, and to whom destiny has assigned
the far lakger, and much bitterer portion of affliction.
As a wife-and a mother, Mrs. PERCEVAL may:well be
supposed to feel for the agonised state of Mrs. BEL.
LlNGuata's mind, deprived as she has been *of the
means of support—of protection—and in some. sort
of character, by the guilt of an infatuated, deluded,
and dishonoured husband ? Under these circum-
stances, Mrs. PsecEvAL, of whose virtues all who
know her bear willing testimony, cannot but de-
plore the sad, the deplorable condition of a de-
serving woman, deprive a, like herself, of a hos.-
band, when she least expected it, and bewailing,
like her, a loss that is irreparable; and while she
piously resigns herself to the dispensations of No-
vidence, may mark her coufidence in the justice of
!leaven, by generously stretching forth her hand in
the hour of adversity, to assuage the woe, and admi-
nister relief to the widow and fatherless cbildOu of
the assassin of her husband." •
