Letter from lieutenant Smith to the right honourable lord Keith. Sebooner Milbrook, off Oporto, Nov. 14. MY LORD,

I have the honour to inform your lordship, that being off Oporto, in his majesty's fchooner Milbrook, under my command, early on the morning of the 13th inft. we fell in with a French fhip wearing a pendant, apparently a frigate, mounting 36 guns; and as I had, at that time, two brigs of the Newfoundland convoy under my protection, and feveral veffels appearing in the offing, which I have every reafon to fuppofe part of that convoy alfo, I determined, as the only means of preferving them, to give her battle, and made fail to clofe with her accordingly at the fame time with a view of increafing our distance from the convoy. It was nearly calm when the action commenced at eight A. M. and continued till near 10, when the enemy's colours came down; but, the Milbrook at this time having her mafts, yards, fails, and rigging, very much cut, and

ten of her guns difabled, I could not prevent his taking advantage of a light breeze springing up, aflifted ́ by his fweeps, to get away from us. The bravery and steady conduct of the officers and feamen under my command against fuch fuperior force, in the difabled ftate of the Milbrook, for a long time with only three guns oppofed to the enemy's broadfide, and their activity in changing her pofition with the oars (not a fail fet), whilft expofed to his raking us for 15 minutes, merits my highett commendation, and does them the greatest credit. I fhould fail in my duty if I did not, in the ftrongest manner, recommend to your lordship's notice Mr. Thomas Fletcher, the master; who, wounded in the beginning of the action, continued on deck, exerting himself with the greatest bravery; as did alfo Mr. Thomas Groves, the clerk, and Mr. Jose da Sa, the Portuguese pilot.

But
