SIR,  
BEing very much in hast, I here give you a few particulars of our Late and Bloody Engagement, with part of the French Fleet, which take as followeth.  
Our Admiral with nine Ships of War, cruising off the French cost, overtook a small Portugeze Vessel, that had a while before been chased by a French Privateer, and after several Questions concerning her Voyage and other Matters; he was informed by the Master; that he had but six hours before seen about Nine Leagues of breast, Thirteen French Men of War, designed as 〈◇〉 was Credibly informed in a direct Course to join the Thoulon Fleet, whereupon the Admiral, without delay, caused all His Squadron to vere out all the Sail they could, and made right after them: About nine of the Clock the next Morning he happily got sight of them; at which, the English giving a gallant Shout, made all the way they possibly could up to them; the French steered away at the sight of our Fleet, as fast as could be; but finding that twas impossible to avoid Fighting, with a seeming Bravery▪ at last they turned, and lay by, expecting 〈◇〉 with all the outward R●… olution as could be, within ● canonshot: Our Admir●… at last advancing, gave the Signal of battle, and followed it Himself with a Gallant Broad-side; which the French Admiral as bravely returned.  
And now by this time our Fleet advancing, they fell to it pell-mell; and notwithstanding the Disadvantage of Number, they quickly made the French perceive that English Hearts were resolved to run the greatest Hazards, rather than seem to have the least apprehensions of the inequality of their Number; the Fight however continued obstinate for the space of three Hours, and then the ●… ch Admiral receiving 〈…〉 Shot, 〈…〉 ●nd endeavoured to bea●… 〈◇〉; but our Admiral perceiving their Design, made up through the midst of them with such vigour, that we quickly 〈◇〉 ourselves Masters of Two of their best Ships and had the satisfaction of seeing three more fink down-right before us; the rest much shattered and torn, with much ado, got away, leaving us with our two Prizes, and hearty re●oycing for the present Advantages we had gained, and wishing for the like Opportunities hereafter. This is all at present from yours
