'' have again an opportunity oil giving you some
little Intelligence. In my last, believe, inform
ed yol that is fleets had effected union, and
that the Turkish and Egyptian fleets were in the
port of Sudl. Some days since being off that port
discovered forty of the enemy's ships or the
mouth of the harbour. About one O'Clock in the
afternoon the Admiral made the signal for all the
6Tistotes to approach, and endeavour to set fire to
the enemys frgates and cory cites; our ships of wsr
ordered TO approach and cover the frigaes
with our guns. We obeyed the signal, and made
all sail, and after fsht of one hour and half
succeeded in burning one irigae OF thiry-lopr guns
and driving the eacmys slips into port, without re-

Turks. II was our intention TO have made an at

but 1T this time of the year the winds are 20 yara

Since the commencement of this campaign we have
destroyed between 80 and go sail OF ships, which is
no small business We oIy want the frgates,
which we know to be coming, to insure liber-

we could then with impunity bid defiance TO the
