Ihe Rotiflaw, Swcdifh-frdTfrfhA,dmiral Greifi, attacked the small veiTels, and it was not until about five o’clock that our line were abreast of the ene my, who then began to bear down upon us. The firing immediately commenced on both fldes, and was continued with great briiknefs until ten at night. The Swedes twice began to give way; and although, during the battle, there was a dead calm, and it was impossible to govern the fliips, the fire whs flilJ kept up with the greatest intrepidity, and continued until the night was far advanced,*when the Swedes began to haul up, and retired, leaving our ships maflers of the field of battle. We took from the enemy the PrinceGuflave of 70 guns, bearing the flag of the Vice Ad miral, who defended himfelf with the great est bravery more than an hour against our Ad miral, but was at length obliged to strike. We made prisoners with this Ihip the Comte Wachtmeifter, Vice Admiral, and Aid de Camp to the King of Sweden, who lei the van, and 15 officers, with all her crew. Admiral Greig writes, that he never saw a fight better fuftaiued on bath sides than the above. Our loss consists of 315, killed, and 666 wounded; that of the dhemy must be more considerable, as the number found on board the ihip we took amounts to 300 killed and wounded. After the battle, four fliips of the enemy took advantage of the night and a caim to surround one of our fliips, and carried her off, after a various rcfiftance. The Admiral gives a general eulogy to the conduft of all under his command. VIENNA, Augufl 2.
