beyond any exploit recorded even in the annals
OF the Britiiii navy, the Kill and en,erprize of
his Majeity's officers and ieamen; and the de.
hrnet'on OF to large proportion of the naval
freuath OF, the enemy has not only confirmed,
IN the fr,ett iignal manner, the maritime fuperi

Ills. Majefy NOT deeply regrets that the day
OF that memorable triumph fhould have Been
