Edward Thompson, of his Majesty's Ship Hyena arrived here this morning from Gibralter, with dispatches from Admiral Sir George Brydges Rodney, of which the following are copies and Extracts. Sandwich Gibralter Bay Jan. 27th, 1780. (Duplicate the original of which is not yet arrived.) SIR, It is with the highest satisfaction I can congratulate their Lordships, of the Victory obtained by the Ships under my Command over the Spanish squadron, Commanded by Don Juan Langara, wherein the spanish Admiral, and the greatest part of his squadron were either taken or destroyed. Having received repeated intelligence of the Spanish squadron, said to consist of 14 sail of the Line, cruising off Cape St Vincent, I gave notice to all the Captains upon my approaching the said Cape to prepare for Battle and having passed it on the 16th. in the Morning, with the whole Convoy, At one, P. M. the Cape then bearing north, four Leagues, the Bedford made the signal for seeing the fleet in the S. E. quarter, I immediately made a signal for the line of Battle a breast and bore down upon them, but before that could be well effected, I perceived the Enemy were endeavouring to form a line of Battle a head upon the starboard Tack and as the Day was far advanced and unwilling to delay the action, at two P. M. I hauled down the signal for the Line of Battle a Breast, and made a signal for a General chace to engage as the Ships came up by Rotation, and to take the Lee-gage in order to prevent the Enemy's retreat into their own ports. At four P. M. Perceiving the head-most Ships began the action which was returned with great briskness by the Enemy at forty minutes past four, one of the Enemy's line of Battle ships blew up with a dreadful Explosion and every person perished, at six P. M. one of the spanish ships struck, the action and pursuit continued, with a continual fire till two o'Clock in the morning, at which time the Monarco, the head-most of all the Enemies ships having struck to the Sandwhich after receiving one broad side and all fireing having ceased, I made signal and brought too, the weather during midnight was at times very tempestuous with a great Sea which rendered it Difficult to take possession of and shift the prisoners of those ships that had surrendered to his Majesty's Arms. It continued very bad Weather the next day when the Royal George, Prince George, Sandwich, and several other ships were in great Danger, and under the necessity of making sail to avoid the shoals off St Lucar, nor did they get into deep Water, till the next morning, when having joined the Convoy, and made Cape Sparted. I dispatched two frigates to Tangier to acquaint his Majesty's consul with our success, that Great Britain was again Mistress of the streights, and desiring him to hasten a supply of fresh Provisions for the Garrison. At sun set we entered the Gut. The Gallant behaviour of the Admirals, Captains, Officers, and Men, I had the honour to Command, was remarkably conspicuous, they seemed actuated with the same spirit and were anxiously Eager to Exert themselves with the utmost zeal to serve his Majesty, and to humble the pride of his Enemies, I may venture to affirm, tho' the Enemy made a Gallant defence, that had the Weather proved but even moderate, or had the action happened in the day, not one of the squadron had escaped. Inclosed I send the List of the Spanish Squadron, as likewise of his Majesty's ships with the damage they Received. I have the honour, to be Sir, Your most Obed. and most humb. serv. Geo. Brydges Rodney. Philip Stephens Esq; List of the ships of the spanish Fleet under the Command of Don Juan de Langara.

Extract of a letter from Sir George Brydges Rodney to Mr. Stephens dated on board the Sandwich Gibralter bay 28th January 1780. “Duplicate the Original of which is not yet arrived since my letter of yesterday giving their Lordships an account of the action with the Enemies Squadron and my entering the Gut with the Fleet, and Convoy at sun set on the 18th I must desire you will please to acquaint, that having no person on board the Sandwich acquainted with the

Bay of Gibraltar, I order'd Rear Admiral Digby to lead in and sent two frigates a head to give notice to the Garrison of our approach the weather proved very Bad, and the Current so strong that most of the fleet were drove to the back of the Rock; the Sandwich and many other Ships did not arrive in this Bay till yesterday, all the transports and Victuallers are unloaded and every dispatch shall be used to put his Majestys further Commands into Execution. Extract of a letter from Sir George Brydges Rodney to Mr. Stephens dated Gibralter bay, 4th February 1780. "As the Winds continued to blow hard Westerly, I thought it forwarding His Majesty's service to make sure of the Convoys arriving safe at Minorca, by sending three Copper-bottom ships of the Line, to see them in safety off that Island, where I am sure they must have arrived before this time, as the wind has continued to blow hard Westerly ever since they failed. Sandwich Gibralter Bay 7th February 1780. SIR, "I must desire to acquaint their Lordships that every attention possible has been paid to the Spanish Admiral and his Officers they are all extreamly desirous of returning to spain upon their parole of honor, but as I am informed that great numbers of his Majesty's Subjects are now prisoners in Spain I have declined giving them any assurances till the British Subjects are released and having received Yesterday by the Shrewsbury from Lisbon a Letter from his Majesty's Consul General in Portugal acquainting me that he had released 626 Spanish Prisoners and tho frequent promises had been made, he has not received as yet one in return. This Letter from Sir John Hort confirmed me in the resolution I had before taken viz. not to release any prisoners but upon the Spaniards delivering up all the British subjects at present in Spain, and then only man for man. However gratifying or convenient it may prove to individuals, the great and general Line of hostility is never to be forgot, in vain we may conquer if unconditional promissory notes can forth with put new arms into the enemys hands, and they openly avail themselves of the British Generosity, without making a just return and detain the British seamen in their Prisons. The great Anxiety of the Spanish Admiral and his Officers to return is such and their Assurances that my Officers and Seamen that had boarded their Ships, and were forced on shore near Cadiz should be forthwith restored, as likewise all other subjects having been delayed upon frivolous pretences. I sent this morning the note I have the honour to inclose for your Lordships Perusal, to the Spanish Admiral and have not a doubt but it will touch their feelings and convince them that no delay must be made, I flatter myself that I have their Lordships approbation in my endeavours to release a thousand good Seamen who may do considerable service to their King and Country I am Sir with great regard. Your most obed. and most humb. Servt. Geo. Brydges Rodney. Philip Stephens Esq; Gibralter 6th February 1780. "Admiral Rodney presents his compliments to Sir Don Juan Langara, and will have great pleasure to comply with his desire relative to the release of the three Fryars belonging to the Capichine mission for the province of Cumanna, if those Fryars are in the fleet.—The Admiral whose inclination is ever to alleviate the Misfortunes of War by shewing every respect and attention to those Brave Men who have done their duty to their King and Country and under the necessity of informing Sir Don Juan de Langara that the release of himself and the spanish Officers entirely depends on spains immediately releasing all the British Prisoners now in their power, an equal number of Prisoners will be retained for those sent by spain, Humanity obliges the Admiral to offer to those prisoners who are now sick, if they may be received by the spanish General, but this will be the last time unless an Exchange takes place. Answer.—Don Juan de Langara presents his respects to his Excellency Admiral Rodney, and returns thanks for his offers of releasing the 3 Ecclesiastics, whose President's memorial, was presented to him. He observes what his Excellency says respecting the spanish Officers release, Also what relates to the sick on which subject he can only inform His Excellency (as he has done before thro' Admiral Digby) that he has written to spain communicating what was imparted to him by that Gentleman, and believes he will very shortly have an answer of which he will give notice to His Excellency, the spanish General again repeats his respects to His Excellency Admiral Rodney. Gibralter 6th February 1780. Extract of a letter from Sir George Brydges Rodney to the Earl of Sandwich dated Gibralter 7th February 1780. "I have the sincere satisfaction to assure your Lordship, that the 5 spanish Men of War are as fine ships as ever swam, they are now compleatly fitted, manned, and put in the line of Battle, and I will Answer for them, will do their duty as English men of War, should the Enemy give them an Opportunity. St James's, 28th February. "The Right Hon'ble General Eliott, Governor of Gibralter, in a Letter to the Earl of Hillsborough dated January 28th, 1780 and received early this Morning, gives an account that the Additional Regiment together with the several stores of provisions, Ammunition, and Money, convoyed by the fleet under the command of Admiral Sir George Brydges Rodney were then landing with all expedition, by which the Garrison will be compleatly relieved and that fortress put in a state of perfect security from the Enemy. ————————————————————— Continued from our Last.

Dec. 18th, 1779 Captain Pakenham arrived at this Office Yesterday afternoon, with a letter from the Hon. John Luttrell, Captain of his Majesty's ship the Charon, to Mr. Stephens, dated at Omoa, the 17th October 1779, of which the following is an extract. Charon in the Harbour of Omoa, SIR, October 27th, 1779. I AM to request you will be pleased to acquaint their Lordships, that, in obedience of the orders I received from Sir Peter Parker, I sailed early from Port Royal in the Morning of the 8th of September last, and being joined in a few hours after by the Pomona, Lowestoffe, and Racehorse schooner, bore away for the spanish main, which however I was not able to reach, owing to calms and baffling winds, until the 15th, The next day we got to Rattan, and being apprehensive that the enemy's register ships might pass to winward, and along their own shore, in case I carried all the squadron towards George's Key, I ordered Capt. Nugent, who was well acquainted at that place, to take the Racehorse up to George's Key, to procure, as expeditiously as possible, the most skillful pilots, for Omoa and gulph of Dulce. having so done, he was directed to join his ship at Key-Boquel, then to repair to Glover's reef, where I waited his arrival, having anchor'd the Charon and Lowestoffe there on the 19th inst. The Monday Morning following I had the mortification to learn by a boat which had escaped from George's Key, that it had been taken by the spaniards five days, which made me very doubtful respecting the safety of Capt. Nugent. But I was relieved from that anxiety a few hours afterwards, by the Pomona and Racehorse schooner appearing in sight. Upon their joining me with the pilots I bore away for the Gulph of Dulce, where we arrived in the evening of the 22d. There was no vessel of any nation to be seen in the gulph I therefore, attended by the Captains Parker, and Nugent, with the marines of the squadron, and a party of seamen in the Boats, pushed up the River, and landed at the spanish warehouses before 11 that night, but found them totally abandoned and except the remains of a few provisions, which seemed to indicate that the people had not been long gone. On the 3d. in the Morning, I sent a number of men from the Ships to the Racehorse, and directed Lieut. Trott to make the best of his way to Omoa, to reconnoitre the strength of the place, and to look for the Ships that had sailed from Dulce concluding that they would be found at that port. The next morning the Racehorse joined me at sea; from her I learned, that the three ships were at anchor under the fort. two of them with all on end, and the third with her yards and topmasts struck; and that the fortification did not appear to be very strong on that side of the harbour. I made sail for Omoa; and getting off the port by 11 at night, would have landed the Pilot to have carried us in, he luckily refused; for the next Day, we came to approach the fortification, we found it was of much too formidable a post to promise success by an attempt to force it: nor indeed would it have answered any good end, for the ships had all their sails and topmasts struck, and were lying up a creek where we could not get at them, had we even silenced near forty pieces of Cannon presented themselves to our view from different batteries. The only hope then which remained of our being masters of those ships, arose from a chance that we might catch them off Cape Antonio before their cruize terminated, which in the possible course of events, I thought might happen, and I was making the best of my way with the ships to that station, stopping only two or three days to compleat my water in the Bay of Trexillo, and to learn a further state of the English inhabitants in the Bay of Honduras. I have now the pleasure to inform you of the fortunate escape of Capt. Nugent out of the hands of the Spaniards, and of the frequent services performed by him at George's Key, where he arrived in the Racehorse in the evening of the 19th, having left the Pomona as I directed at Key Boquel. Capt. Nugent approached the shore in his Boat, with the least suspicion that the Key was in possession of the enemy, when he received the fire of five hundred men at least, which killed one of his people, and wounded another. He returned the fire from his Boat's carronade, and some swivels, and then overset upon a reef of rocks, by which he lost five of his men drowned; the rest of the Boat's crew, with himself, swam to the shore, and got into the woods. The Spaniards fired several vollies of small arms at them in the water, but without effect. The next morning the Pomona's boats, with a party of men, retook the Key, but the Spaniards had carried off the guns, and all the valuable effects. Capt. Nugent reports, that the enemy had three hundred and fifty soldiers, and that their intentions were to have surprized and taken the Pomona, having fitted a great number of small craft for that purpose. The Spaniards having been defeated in their views on the Pomona, and Capt. Nugent having joined me, I bore away for Omoa, where we arrived on the 15th instant. The next evening we landed the seamen and marines, and on the 20th, at night, we stormed and carried the fort. The prisoners amount to three hundred and sixty-five, exclusive of officers and inhabitants. I have not time to be more particular, as I am sending off the Racehorse, with this intelligence, to Jamaica, and am very much hurried in embarking the prisoners, and putting the ships in a condition to be navigated. I have appointed Lieut. Trott to the command of the St. Domingo, a register ship of thirty-two guns, and one hundred and thirty men, and have given the command of the other two to the masters of the Charon and Lowestoffe. I have the honour to be, &c. JOHN LUTTRELL.

"Yesterday Captain Walsingham had the honour to thank his Majesty for having been appointed to the Command of a small squadron now getting ready at Portsmouth and plymouth; this squadron consist of seven ships viz. The Thunderer, Royal Oak, Egmont, Ramalies, Triumph all 74 Gun ships in the Harbour at Portsmouth, The Torbay 74, and the prudent of 64, in Ply- mouth; besides the Ambuscade of 32 Guns and Hussar of 28 both Frigates. -- It is thought this Squadron is destined for the West Indies in order to augment our Forces in that quarter Cadiz 5th February, Don Gaston Anchored in this Bay Yes- erday with 12 ships of his own and 3 French line of Battle ships, besides two of his Fri- gates and one store ship and one French Frigate, since his departure from Brest his fleet has always been attended with Hurri- canes and arrived in a very bad situation, but the damage will be easily Repaired, the French Vessels only could Refit the vio- lence of the weather, out of the 20 ships which composed Don Gaston's squadron, 8 were dispersed viz. The St Joseph returned into Brest, the Seriour and Atalanta arrived here, the Revenge which having sprung a Leak had orders to put into Ferrol, we have had no intelligence concerning the other 4, which belong to the division of Don Antonio de Arce. These disappointments do not fail to retard our operations, since the last Courier the wind has been so impetuous in this Bay from the S. E. quarter that two ships of the Line have perished, one is lost to all intents and purposes the other is in so dangerous a situati- on, that little hopes are left, so that this misfortune has depived us of two of our finest ships at the moment they were most ne- cessary at the same time it is to be hoped that this same S. E. Winds has not left un- molested the english ships in the Bay of Gibralter.

**POET'S CORNER** **BEAUTY.** ARISE my Muse! rise and sing Of Beauty's rapt'rous power; Thy choicest images here bring From Nature's blooming store: Paint the verdant landscape fair, With each charm the sight to please, Smiling meadows shady groves, Warbling rills that softly flow, To whose banks the swains repair, Courting the sweet evening breeze, While the shrill blackbirds sing their loves, And to the gale their wild notes throw: Paint each charm that nature boasts, On India, or Arabia's Coasts, Them to the raptur'd mind display; The soul shall own thy magic art, And powerful Beauty warm the heart With her clestial ray. But in her chains to bind the soul, And brutal passions to controul, Each sweet sensation to impart, That wakes to joy the beating heart; Let living Beauty instant rise, She—comes before my ravish'd eyes I see my Delia move, With step majestic, graceful ease, Each look, each gesture form'd to please, She comes! the queen of love! The roses kindle in her cheeks, And from her eyes the light'ning breaks, That fires my willing breast; Upborn on wings of extacy, To her my ravish'd soul doth fly As to its place of rest.
