News from the FLEET, Being a Full and Impartial ACCOUNT, OF A Most Signal Victory, Obtained by Admiral Killigrew, OVERDO THE French Thoulon Fleet.  
Commanded by Monsieur Chasten Regnaut.  
In a Letter to a Person of Quality.  
Printed, According to Order.  
Worthy Sir,  
GOOD News, at all Times, I know is very acceptable to You from Credible Strangers; and if so, doubtless much more grateful from a Friend; and such a Friend too, that would neither Deceive You, nor the Public, for the highest Temporal Advantage: I know the Dignity of Truth is lost by many Asseverations; I shall therefore say little more than this, (seeing you throughly know me,) That the following Account of the late Sea-Fight with the French Thoulon Fleet, I here send you, is nothing but what I myself was both an Eye and Earwitness to the Truth of; and you shall (God willing) have a farther Account of it, in my next Letter: But for the present, take what follows:  
We having received an Express that advised us of the Departure of the French Squadron out of Thoulon, under the Command of Monsieur Chasten Regnaut, which consisted of four First Rates, and Five Second Rate Men of War, and two Fireships; who said, the Wind being contrary, they were forced to come to an Anchor in Gibraltar, within four Miles of Ceuta, not being able to get out of the Narrow of the Straits: Upon which the Vice-admirals' Killigrew and Allemond, with Rear-Admiral Evertson, weighed Anchor, with Ten English and Dutch Men of War, and two Fireships to join the other Six Men of War that lay at Gibraltar perdue for them, and so attack them: They having a fair Wind, happily came up with the Six Men of War aforesaid, just as they got sight of the French Eleet: The French steered away at the sight of our Fleet, as fast as could be; but perceiving our Fleet was resolved to pursue and fight them, they at last made up to us with a seeming Gallantry; upon which, Admiral Killigrew gave the Signal of Battle, and followed it himself with an undaunted Courage and Resolution: And after a long and sharp dispute on both Sides, we took Three French Men of War, which we have sent up to Gibraltar: We have also sunk two of their best Ships, and are still in pursuit of the rest: Admiral Killigrew was Engaged, in this great Action in the Duke, against Monsieur Chasten Regnaut, four Hours or more.  
Sir, I hope to give you a farther Account of the remaining shattered French Fleet, in a short time, our Fleet being well Manned, Admiral Killigrew having got on Board the Fleet Six Hundred Volunteer Seamen, out of the Merchantmen in Cales Road. This in haste is all at present, from  
Your Cordial Friend, N. R.
