CAPTURE OF THE FROLIC.
From the London Gazette, Dec. &c.
Letter J'on The Caht. ofthe FroHc TO
admiral Warren.
His Majesty's ship Poictiers, at sga,
OCtober23.
SIR-It is with the most bitter sorrow &
distress l have to report to your Excellen
cy the capture Of his Majesty's brig Froiic
by the ship Wasp, belonging 70 the United
States of America, on the 18th inst.
Having under convoy the homewar
sound trade from the Bay os Honduras, and
Being in latitude Go deg. II. and 81 deg. w.
on the night OF the 18TH, were overtaken by
a most violent gale of wind, in which the
Froic carried away her main-yard, lost her
topsails, and sprung the main topmast.-
On the morning of the 18th, as we were
repairing the damages sustained in the
storm, & re assembling the scattered ships,
a suspicious ship came in sight, and gave
chase to the convoy.
The merchant ships continued their voy
age before the wind under all sail the
Froic dropt astern, and hoistsd Spanish CO
lors, in order to decoy the stranger under
her guns. ard to give time for the convoy
to escape. About ten O'clock, both vessels
being within hail, we hauled to the wind.
and the battle began. The superior fire of
our guns gave every reason 20 expect It's
speedy termination in onrfavor, but the gaff
head braces being shot away, * there being
no sail on the main mast, the brig became
dnmanageable, and the enemy succeeded
in taking position 70 rake her, while she
was unable 70 bring 2 gun to bear.
After laying some time exposed to most
destructive FIRE, she fell with the bowsprit
bstwixt the ensniy's main and mizen rig
ging, still Unable to return his fire.
AT length the enemy boarded, and made
himself master Of the brig. every individual
officer being wounded, and the greater

Although shall ever deplore the unhab
by issue of this contest, it would be great
injustice to the merits Of the officers and
crew, if failed to report that their brave
~ and GOODNESS are deserving Of every
praise and an convinced, il the Frolic
had not been crippled in the gale, should
have to make very different report to your
Exccllency. The Wasp was taken, and
the Frolic rc-captured the same afternoon.
