masts in the N. E. quarter; about 

 four p. ni. (the Saintes bearing 

 E. by S. fourteen leagues) she 

 opened a fire on us from her stern 

 guns, which was not returned un- 

 til a position was taken on her 

 weather quarter, when, after a 

 feeble resistance of about fifteen 

 minutes, she struck her colours ; 

 indeed, such was the disabled 

 state of her masts previously to our 

 meeting, that any further opposi- 

 tion would have been the extreme 

 of rashness. 



She is La Trave, of twenty- 

 eight French eighteen-pounders 

 and sixteen eighteen-pound car- 

 ronades, only nineteen months 

 old, with a crew of three hundred 

 and twenty-one nien (nearly all 

 Dutch), one of whom was killed, 

 and her commander, Jacob Van 

 Maren, capitaine de vaisseau, and 

 member of the Imperial Order of 

 Reunion, the second lieutenant, 

 Oxiiolme, two midshipmen (one 

 of them since dead), and twenty- 

 four seamen wounded. 



The Andromache has received 

 no injury in her hull, nor aught to 

 mention in her sails or rigging ; 

 while I lament to say, tliat Mr. 

 Thomas Dickenson, the first lieu- 

 tenant, is severely wounded, and 

 one seaman slightly. 



I have the honour to be, &c.

P. S. It seems, that La Trave 

 had two men wounded by an Eng- 

 lish briir of war on the 19th.

Lord Artliur Iliil has this morn- 



ing arrived with dispatches from 

 field-marshal the marquis of Wel- 

 lington to earl Bathurst, dated 

 Vera, Nov. 1, of which the follow- 

 ing are extracts :— 



Vera, Nov. \, 1813. 



Nothing of importance has oc- 

 curred in the line since I addressed 

 your lordship last. 



The enemy's garrison of Pamp- 

 lona made proposals to Don Carlos 

 D'Espana to surrender the place 

 on the 26th of October, on condi- 

 tion, first, that they should be al- 

 lowed to march to France with six 

 piecesfof cannon; secondly, that 

 they should be allowed to march to 

 France under an engagement not- 

 to serve against the allies for a year 

 and a day. Both these condi- 

 tions were rejected by Don Car- 

 los D'Espana, and they were told 

 that he had orders not to give 

 them a capitulation on any terms 

 excepting that they should be pri- 

 soners of war ; to which they de- 

 clared they would never submit. 



Vera, Nov. 1, 1813. 



Since I wrote to your lordship 

 this morning, I have received 

 a letter, of which I enclose a 

 copy from marischal del Campo 

 Don Carlos D'Espana, in which he 

 announces the surrender by capi- 

 tulation of the fortress of Pamplona, 

 the garrison being prisoners of war, 

 upon which event I beg leave to 

 congratulate your lordship. 



I cannot sufficiently applaud the 

 conduct of Don Carlos D'Espana, 

 and that of the troops under his 

 command, during the period that 

 he has commanded the blockade, 

 that is since the beginning of 

 August. 



In every sortie which the enemy 

 have made, they have been re-
