Cleopatra, oft' Basseterre, Guadaloupc, Jan 23, 1801. Slit, In consequence ofseparatiag from hi= Majesty's ship J ason, and there being no probability of communication either with Capt. Mande, or Capt. Pigot of the ',atona l and senior officer of the blockading squadron, I beg to inform you, that yester day, in obedience to the signals made to me by Capt. Maude, I chaced a ship in the N. N. W. which I shortly afterwards made out to be a French frigate, who, on seeing us, hauled close in shore, and anchored under a small battery a little to the S. of Point Noir. Having ascertained that they were securing her (by springs on her cables, and others fast to the trees on shore) as well as her situation would permit, I made every preparation for attacking her, the witid being at this time from the s. but very light aid variable. At half past 2P.M. we got the true breeze, and turned up to windward till within a ca ble's lenOt oi . the shore, and half musquet shot from the ene , « h ich was eiThrted at :t o'clock, when his firing commenced. taw from the shape of the land aml the shoal of water between us, that I could not close without danger of being raked, I was therefore obliged to anchor in six fathoms and a half, and re turned his tile, which fortunately cut away his outside spring, when he swtmg in shore with his head towards us, giving us the advantage I refosed hint before ; this 1 so effectually preserved, that he never afterwards got more than. half his broadside to hear; we thus engaged for 40 minutes, when the Jason and Ha zard came up, the former having taken a position on her star board quarter, and firing her bow guns, the Hazard at the same time directing hers to the fort, the enemy hauled down his colours, finding he was not able to sustain so unequal a combat. She proves to be the French national frigate Topaze, carrying 48 guns, eighteen 24 and 56-pounders, commanded by MOM, La hall e, Capitnine dc frigate, «ith a complement of 330 men; she .
