of attack was unuui.il, so the flrudfure
of their line was new ; it formed a

As the mode of our attack had beer

fought v/ith a gallantry highly honora

The cver-to-bedamented dtath of

the right hon. Rear admiral, the captains
Officers, Seamen, and detachment of
Royal marines, serving onboard his ma

but where can I find language to txprefs
my fentimenti of the valor and fkiil,which
were diiplaytd by the officers, the sea
men, end marines in the battle with the
enemy, where every individual appeared
an hero, on whom the glory of his coun
try depended ; the attack was irrefutable
and the issue of it adds to the page of
cur naval annals a brilliant inftanc: of
what Britons can do, when their King
and their country need their ferviers.
To the right honorable rear admiral
the Dari of Noriliesk, to the Captains,
Officers, and Seamen, aad to the Officer#
and Private* of the Royal Marine*, I beg

and in their zeal and activity in bringing
the captured (hips out from the perilous
situation in which they were, after their
surrender, among the fnoals of Trafalgar,
in bciilerous weather.
And I desire that the refpettive cap

the oificers, teamen and marines, this
public testimony of my high approbation
of their condutt, and my thanks for it.

Eurya'us, Oft. 25.
SIR—In mv letter of the 221, i de
railed to you-, for the information cf my
Lords oommiffioners of the Admiralty,
the proceedings of his majesty’s squadron
on the day of the aftion, and that prece
ding it—since which I have had a conti
nuedffriese r ies of misfortunes, but they are
of a kind that human prudence could not
poflibly provide againl, or my skill pie
vent.
On the 2 2'j in the morning, a strong
fotuhtvly wind blew, with fqualy weather,
which however did not prevent the afti
vity of the officers and Lateen of fucti
fliipsas were manageable fiorn getting
h*<ld of many of the prizes (thirteen or
fourteen) nnd towing them oil to ti.e
weflward, when I ordered them to ren
dezvous round the Royal Sovereign, in
tow of the Ni-p*unt ; but on the 23d,
tire gale increaftd, and the sea ran so high,
that of them broke the tow-ropes,
and drifted fnr to leeward, betore they’
w ere got hold oi again, and fome of them
taking advantage iu the dark and boifle
rous night, £ot berore the wind, and Im-e
perhaps dritted upon the fliore and funk ;
on the afternoon of that day the remnant
of the combined fleet, ten fail of ships,
who had not been much engaged, fljod
up to leeward of my (battered and ilran
gied charge, as if meaning to a! tack
them, which obliged me to collect a force
out of the kail injured ships and form to
leeward tor their defence ; all this retard
ed the progress of the hulks, and the
bad weather continuing, determined me
to destroy all the leevrard rr.ofl that could
be e’eared of the men, cordiderirg the
keeping pofklfion of the ships was a met
ier of little conftqnence, compared with
tiie chance of their falling into the hands
oi” the eherny ; but even this was an ar
duous task, in the high lea which was
running. I hope, however, it Li been
accorr.plifhed to a considerable extent ;
f enirufled it to skillfull “officers, who
would fpere no pains to execute what
was poflibie. Tiie captains of the Prince
and Neptune, cleared the Triuadsd and
iunk her.
Captains Hope, B-ynton and Zvlal—
colm, who joined the ft ret this moment
from Gibraltar, had the charge of de
ft roying four others. The Redoubtable -
funk astern of the S wiftanre, while in low.
The Santa Anna, 1 have no doubt, lias
iunk, as her fide was ahnofi intireiy beat
en in ; and such is the (battered condi
tion of the whole of them, that ualefe the
weather moderates, I doubt whether I |
fltr.ll be able to carry a ft p of them ipto !
port. 1 hope their lordlhips will approve I
of what 1 ( having only in confideratioii I
the deftruftion of the enemy’s fleet) have 1
tiinu; ht a nicafure of absolute nectifi.y. |
I have taken Admiral Viileneuve into I
this fliip ; Vice Admiral Don Aiiva is !
dead. Whenever the temper of th e wea
ther wiil permit, and I esn spare a irigatc
(for there were *nly four in the action
with the fleet, Euryalus, Sirius, Phoebe
and Naiad ; the Melpomene j fined the
2sd, and the Eurvdice and Scout the
23d), I (hail Collett the other flag offi
cers with their flags, and fend them to
England, if they do not all go to the
bottom to be laid l at his Majcfty’s feet.
There were four thosiand troops em
barked under the command of General
Contamin, who was taken with Admiral
Viiiencuve in the Bucentaure.
I am Sir, &c.

A treaty of afiisnee, between I’rufiia
r.nd England, had arrived in England.
The Pruiftan army, of 80,000 men, was
marching again ft the French ; the em
peror of Rufiia was marching aifo at the
head of 60,000 men, and the emperor of
Germany was Hated to be at the head of
another army.
Bemadotle, on the 19‘h of Cttober,
was between Munich and the Inn, the
Auflrians were on the opposite fide ot
the river; the emperor of France would
join him with liis whole army, on the
j 25th or 28ih, when further operations
j again!! the Ruffians and Auflrians would
commence. >
The army of Italy under Meilena,
Dsfi.d the Adige, cn the 18th Ottober,
1 after an attion, in which the Auflrians
had iroo killed, and as many taken
prisoners. Tiie report of the defeat of
MafTena by the Archduke Charles, had
been received in London by way of Ca
talonia, but rested on no official autho
rity.
ft v.-?.s reported in Paris o. Monday
lift, (lays a London paper of the 7th
November) that the Emperor of Austria
had applied for a cessation of hostilities ;
that the Emperor of the French had ana
fwered, that he would consent to a cefia
tion on condition of the Emperor fend*
ing back the Ruffians, renouncing his
alliance with England, and placing Ve
nice and the Tyrol in the hands of the-
French.
The fame paper slates, that they have
at length official details from Italy'; they
mention fome important advantages gain
ed over the archduke Charles by Mafic -
na ; it adds, that if the Freoch details
are correct, a more decisive and brilliant
campaign than the one in Germany,'‘is
not to be found in the annals of history
We tremble, fays the editor, for the final
refuk, but mult in the mean time fafh
ion our minds to hear of new fuccefles on
tne part of the enemy.
