that it might be in po1efiion of the enemy, (al-
though Engliif colours were hoiited on the CT
tadel, and centineis clothed in red placed on the

man, midihipman, to proceed into the harbour,
and cut out any of the ve.Iels he could ind,
which ne did in a gallant manner, by bringing
out hip under heavy Ere from the batteries,
which funk our cutter and wounded one man.

in poiieIfion of Goree fnce the 18TH January,
and that they had coo white and black troops
in the garrifon.
