SIR,' have the honour to inform you, that, in purimanee of your directions, I arrived at Bathz yesterday, and in order to render, if practicable, an attack on the enemy's flotilla more complete, I ordered thirty flat boats armed with carronader, and some other boats from the ships under tav orders, to rendezvous at this place, and meet the flotilla under Sir Home Popham, but before the arrival of eithi.r, six of the enemy's gun-boats having grounded on a bank within reach of the artillery of the fort, after sustainieg some idury by it, were ;than:Jo:led ; five of tti Lich were destroyed, anti the other brought in.—The arrival of Sir llotau Popham and Fly boats from the East Scheid took place nearly at the sarne time, but the enemy's flotilla moved tip to Lillo with the same tide Hutt brought ours to Bathz, ono of which was handso:aely burned by Lite advanced gilt boats almost emon;;:st them. As the navigation of the West Scheid is now open as far it can possibly be cleared by the navy, and a flotilla force of up. war,!., of fifty sail in ti:e. East Scheid tleinaml attention, and I c.lO at any time return hi a few hours to this place, it is my tention to repair this mornin4 to the Superb, where I have ordered the boats of my division. Sir [lime Poplia,o 14 examining the channels. Although we are now masters of the cavigirt ion to Lill°, it may he proper to observe, that it is in the enemy's power, by sending a superior naval force, to deprive us of it, all far as Bathz, (before some larger ships ascend,) whenever he pleased. _ _ I have. &e.
