 Santa Anna was driven near Cadiz, 

 and towed in by a frigate.

Queen ^ off Cape Trafalgar, Nov. 4. , 

 Sir, 

 On the 28t ult. I informed you of 

 the proceedings of the squadron to 

 that time. The weather continuing 

 very bad, the wind blowing from 

 S. W. the s(]uadron not in a situa- 

 tion of safety, and seeing little pros- 

 pect of getting the captured ships 

 oft" the land, and great risk of some 

 of them getting into port ; I deter- 

 mined no longer to delay the de- 

 stroying thorn, and to get the squa- 

 dron out of the deep bay. The ex- 

 traordinary exertion of capt. Capel, 

 however, saved the French Swift, 

 sure ; and his ship the Phoebe, to- | 

 gether with the Donegal, captain 

 Malcolm, afterwards brought out 

 the Bahama. Indeed, nothing can 

 exceed the perseverance of all the | 

 officers employed in the service. —
