fesistible, Orion, Queen Charlotte, 
Russell, Colossus; and Sans Pareil, 
were pretty well up with the ene- 
my, and a little before six o’clock 
the action began, and continued 
till near nine. Wheh the ships 
struck, the British squadron was 
near to some batteries, and in the 
face of a strong naval port, which 
will manifest to the public the zeal; 
intrepidity, and skill of the admi- 
rals, captains, and all other officers, 
seamen, and soldiers employed up- 
on this service; arid they are fully 
entitled to my warmest acknow- 
ledgments, 
I beg also to be allowed to mark 
my approbation, in a particular 
manner, of captain Domett’s con- 
du, serving under my flag, for his 
manly spirit, and for the assistance 
T received from his ative and at. 
tentive mind. I feel likewise great 
satisfaction in doing justice to the 
meritorious conduct of all the offi. 
. cers of every class, as well as to the 
bravery of the seamen and soldiers 
in the Royal George, upon this 
event, and upon former occasions. 
I judged it necessary upon the 
information I had recéived of the 
force of the enemy, to put the Ro- 
bust, Thunderer, and Standard, in- 
to the line of battle ; but from their 
distance from my squadron, and 
under the circumstance of little 
wind, they could not join me till 
after the aétion was over; 
I shall proceed upon my station 
as soon as [ have ordered a distri- 
bution of the prisoners, and made 
other necessary artangements for 
the squadron. Jt is my intention 
to keep at sea, in order to fulfil 
every part of my instructions. 
Thave judged it necessary to send 
captain Domett with my dispatches, 
who will give their lordships such
