Buonaparte had sent Baraguey d’Hiliierr with cifpatches for the Direftorv, and on tire oth lew?* taken prisoner by an Engliilr frigate. Our veflel fought very ill; the crew was composed of Afaltefe, a set of pol troons, whom d’Hiliiers could not prevail upon to figh‘, but by threatening to beat or run them through; we had 60 men killed; the Captain, who is a fool, did not per ceive the enemy till they were within irmlket fiiot; we were obliged to strike, as the Englifli were preparing to board. D’Hiliiers was incensed at the Captain and crew*; lie is not dangerously wounded, though his clothes were pierced all over with balls; he had time to throw his dis patches overboard. D’Hilliers and his Aids dc Camp were taken to Gibraltar, where they now are, but they are to be sent to London. We hope that the French Govern ment will get hirh exchanged, which is his due; he fought with an Englifli officer who attempted to take his fworo, and vefufed to give it up but with his life. Citizen Collot, who was likewise taken, has been released; he is going to Paris, and will inform the Directory of this unfortunate event. D’Hilliers is very well treated; nothing has been taken from him.*’ Augujl 8.
