Capitulation of the Garrison of Memmingen,, with my apology for the hasty manner in which it is written. I have the honour, &c. R. J. STRACHAN. Caesar, West of Rochfort 264 miles, Nov. 4, 1805, wind S. E. SIR,--Being off Ferrol, working to the westward, with the wind westerly, on the evening of the 2d, we observed a frigate in the N. W. making signals; made all sail to join her before night, and followed by the ships named in the margin, we came up with her at 11 at night; and at the moment she joined us, we saw 6 large ships near us. Capt. Baker informed me he had been chaced by the Rochefort squadron, then close to leeward of us. We were delighted. I desired him to tell the captains of the ships of the line astern to follow me, as I meant to engage them directly; and immediately bore away in the Cæsar for the purpose, making all the signals I could, to indicate our movements to our ships; the moon enabled us to see the enemy bear away in a line abreast, closely formed; but we lost sight of them when it set, and I was obliged to reduce our sails, the Hero, Courageux, and Alus being the only ships we could We continued steering to the E.N.E. all night, and in the morning observed the Santa Margaritta near us; at nine we discovered the enemy of 4 sail of the line in the N. E. under all sail. We had also every thing set, and came up with them fast; in the evening we observed 3 sail astern, and the Phonix spoke me at night. I found that active officer, Capt. Baker, had delivered my orders, and I sent him on to assist the Santa Margirita in leading us up to the enemy. At day-light we were near them, and the Santa Margarita had begun in a very gallant manner to fire upon their real, and was soon joined by the Phoenix.-A little before noon, the French finding an action unavoidable, began to take in their small sails, and form in a line, bearing on the starboard tack; we did the same; and I communicated my intentions by hailing to the captains, "that I should attack the centre and rear," and at noon began the battle; in a short time the van ship of the enemy tacked, which almost directly made the action close and general; the Namur joined soon after we tacked, which we did as soon as we could get the ships round, and I directed her, by signal, to engage the van; at half-post three the action ceased, the enemy having fought to admiration, and not surrendering

SIR,-Not having the returns when the Eolus left us, and now having occasion to send in the Santa Margarita to procure pilots to take the French ships into harbour, I transmit you the returns of killed and wounded in the action of the 4th; and also a copy of the thanks alluded to in my letter, which I request you will communicate to their lordships. I dare say their lordships will be surprised, that we have lost so few men. I can only account for it from the enemy firing high, and we closing suddenly. I have the honour to be, &c. R. J. STRACHAN.

till their ships were unmanageable." I have returned thanks to the captains of the ships of the line and the frigates, and they speak in high terms of approbation of their respective officers and ships' companies. If any thing could add to the good opinion I had already formed of the officers and crew of the Cæsar, it is their gallant conduct in this day's battle. The enemy have suffered much, but our ships not more than is to be expected on these occasions. You may judge of my surprise, Sir, when I found the ships we had taken, were not the Rochfort squadron, but from Cadiz. I have the honour to be, &c. R. J. STRACHAN. To the Hon.

The reports of damage, killed, and wounded, have not been all received. The enemy have suffered much.

Admiralty Office, Nov. 11, 1805.-The names of the captains who commanded his Majesty's frigates in the late gallant action under Sir Richard Strachan, being omitted in the Gazette Extraordinary, it becomes necessary to state, that the Revolutionaire was commanded by Capt.

"Independent of the territories of the French, the map of Europe is but small, and only two great powers are now left standing. Russia is powerful, but, at a great distance from them. Austria remains stron?, and, perhaps, not impaired in territories; but. so bereft of all external aid, so stripped of support, that, "in any new storm, the first heave of the sea will be very likely to bring her by the board.”.
