To the Proprietors of the Univerfal Magazine.

Extract of a letter from the Ifis, at fea, off Plymouth, March 25. On the 20th inftant, being cruising on the coaft of France, about five in the afternoon, in company with the olus frigate of 30 guns, Captain Elliot, we fell in with a French fleet of merchant-fhips of 35 fail (convoyed by four of the French King's frigates) off the ifle of Rhee. Captain Elliot in the Eolus, who greatly outfailed the Ifis, began the attack with two of the Guns 50 frigates, viz. the Le Blon, of 32 guns and about 50 44 How the French in their account have mag- I 300 men, and the Minion, of 20 guns and 142 men; and continued the attack with the greatest bravery and intrepidity, within piftol-fhot, for about half an hour before we could come up to his affiftance, occafioned by our running to leeward in order to attack the Commodore, and before we came up the Minion had ftruck to the olus. In this action, the firft Captain of the Minion was killed, the fecond mortally wounded, and the third flightly, with 29 private men killed, and 25 wounded. We made all the fail we could after the Le Blon, but could not come any nearer to him than within mufket-fhot a-ftern, in which pofition we continued chafing, and firing our bow-chace guns at him, and he his ftern-chace at us, from half paft fix o'clock in the evening, till nine, at which time we gave over chace, because our pilot would not take charge of the ship if we continued it any longer, as we were fo close in shore, and the wind blowing right upon it. The prifoners that Captain Elliot has taken, gave him intelligence that seven fail of French men of war of the line, with 200 fail of mer chant fhips, had gone into Rochelle, or Bafqueroad, three hours before we appeared on the coaft, and were to rendezvous there till they were joined by fhips gone to Bourdeaux, &c. to load. The convoy that we fell in with, was the laft divifion of three that had failed from Breft within three days. I hope our intelligence of this (which goes by exprefs to the Admiralty) will come time enough for them to order a futficient fleet to intercept the enemy.' March R MARRIAGES.
