C'ipy of a Letter from Captain Bourehier, of his Majesty's Sloop the Hawke, to Admiral Sir Roger Curtis, Bart. dated at ;-ca, August 19, 1811, clod tranimitted by him. to J. W. Cru .cr, Esq. _ Sit--1 beg kaye to state to you, that in obedience to your 4irecti-ns 1 i:roceiled in lii Majesty's brig under On command to the eastward of St. Matcpu, in order to intercept any pf the etiLmy's trade bounl to the westward ; at two P. M. St. Mur eou bearing W. by N. six leagues, .ikriie• obtervcd from the nlast head a convoy of French vets la steering for Barfleur ; ail 9ail Vas inimet!iately made in straw, anti, on oui near approach, we perceiveu L4:ttll .o he protected by three aritieti National brigi and two large tuggers ) the former carrying from twelve to sis ' L REGISTER. teen guns, the latter from eight to ten each, apparently well manned. Convinced from their hauling out from their convoy in close order, it was their intention to attack us, I linmediately hove to to receive them, and at half past three P. M. Point Piercu bearing N. W. W. four miles, the action commenced within half pistol shot, and continued with great spirit on both sides until we succeeded in driving on shore two of the brigs and the two lugger', with fifteen sail of their convoy; but in the act of wearing to prevent the third brig raking us, we un• fortunately grounded, which enabled her and a few of her con• voy to escape, although having previously struck to us. My whole attention at thisllme waS getting his Majesty's brig off by lightening her of her booms, spars, anchors, and a few of her guns, &c. which was effected in an hour and a half, under incessant discharges of artillery and musketry, which com• p!etely lined the shore. I thought it then most prudent to an chor in order to replace the running rigging, during which time I dispatched the boa's under the command of Lieutenant David Price, my Second Lieutenant (my first being in a prize), to bring out or destroy as many of the enemy's vessels as practi cable : he succeeded in bringing out the Heron, National brig, pierced for sixteen guns, mounting only ten, and three large transports, laden with timber for ship building; the rest were on their broadsides and completely bilged, and was only pre. vented from burning them by the strength of the tide being against him; which sarrice was conducted in a most masterly and gallant manner under a galling fire of musketry, from the beach lined with troops. Lieutenant Price speaks in very high terms of the gallantry displayed by Mr. Smith, Master, and *Mr. Whehle r, Gunner, who handsomely volunteered their see. vices on the occasion. The grateful task is now left to me, Sir, to express my it.,llSc of admiration of the very steady, uniform, brave, and deter. mined conduct of the whole of my Officers and ship's company, which will ever entitle them to my sincerest and warmest thanks; and I feel I am only barely doing justice to the merits of Lieutenant Price in recommending him most strongly to their Lordships' notice for his spirited conduct in the action, as also in the boats, and, in short, on all occasions; he is a most Observing and meritorious young Officer, to whom I feel myself much indebted: nor can I pass unnoticed the zeal . and attention of Mr. Henry Campliag, Purser, who volunteered to toThmand the marines and small arm men, and from whose continued and well-conducted fire I attribute the loss of so few men, which has been trifling when the superiority-of force opposed to us is considered, being only one man killed and four wounned. It is with much satisfaction I add that his Majesty's brig his suffered in nothing but the running rigging and sails, except what damage she may have received from grounding; at present she makes nearly two feet water an hour, which, with the p:ites not being in a condition to proceed by themselves, judged it right to make the best ef - my way to Spithead with them, whichip - ust will meet with yourapprobation. Enclosed is a return of killed and w owided, as also a list of vessels cap. lured, driven on shore, and escaped. I have, &c. (Signed) H. BOURCHIER.
