Some Selected Reports from the Salisbury and Winchester Journal
Monday, June 1st, 1812
Sunday's Post --- By Express.
LONDON GAZETTE,
PUBLISHED ON SATURDAY NIGHT, MAY 30.
ADMIRALTY OFFICE, May 30.
ADMIRAL Lord Keith, Commander in Chief in the Channel Soundings, in a letter dated on board the Conquestador, in Cawsand Bay. the 27th inst. says, "In my letter of the 16th, I acquainted you with the disposition I had made for intercepting a French-Squadron, reported to be on its way from the West Indies to some port in the Bay. I have now the satisfaction to acquaint you, that the arrangement has been attended with complete success.
"When the gallantry of the action with such a force, under numerous galling batteries, and the intricacy of the navigation amidst dangerous rocks, in the very entrance of the enemy's harbour, are taken into consideration, the performance of so important a service, whilst it reflects the highest honour on all concerned, adds flesh lustre to the naval annals of the country."
Lord Keith has transmitted a letter from Rear-Admiral
Sir H. Neale, dated Boyne, off Ushant, May 25, and inclosing
Capt. Hotham's letter to Sir Harry, detailing the particulars of his having destroyed the enemy's two frigates and brig on the 22d inst. when literally in the mouth of the port of L'Orient, under a heavy fire from the numerous batteries upon that part of the coast, and during a warm contest with the frigates and brig, which were of the largest class. In transmitting these particulars, the Rear-Admiral says, "I cannot resist adding my testimony to the ability and zeal with which
Capt. Hotham has, upon all occasions, distinguished himself in the discharge of his professional duties; but in the present instance, from the force of the enemy's ships, supported by the batteries upon the shore, and the judgement displayed in the able conducting of the ship, they are eminently conspicuous, and will, no doubt, meet the applause and consideration be has so highly merited."
Captain Hotham's detail shew, the great difficulties and dangers he had to encounter in preventing the enemy from entering L'Orient. When they hauled round Pointe de Pierre Lay, he placed the Northumberland to meet them with her head to the shore, and made dispositions for laying one of them along-side; but they hauled so very close round the point, that he found this plan impracticable, consistent with the safely of his ship (drawing near 25 feet). He therefore bore up, and steered parallel to them at the distance of about two cables length, and opened the broadside on them, which was returned by a very animated fire of round, grape, and other shot, supported by three batteries, for the space of 21 minutes, and was very destructive to his sails and rigging.
Capt. Hotham's object during that time was to prevent their hauling outside the dry rock named Le Graul, by steering so close to it as to leave them no room to pass between him and the rock, and at the same time to avoid running on it himself. The utmost difficulty and anxiety were produced by the cloud of smoke which drifted a-head of the ship, and totally obscured it. However, by the care and attention of
Mr. Hugh Stewart, the Master, the object was effected; the enemy were compelled to attempt passing where there was not water enough, and they all grounded, under every sail, on the rocks.
Capt. Hotham afterwards anchored the Northumberland in 6 1/2 fathom of water, with her broadside bearing on the enemy's two frigates and brig, at point blank range, all of them having fallen over on their side next the shore, as the tide left them, and exposed their copper, and the main-masts of one frigate and the brig were gone. For an hour and a quarter a deliberate fire was kept up on them, the crews had quitted their vessels, all their bottoms being pierced by our shot so low down as to insure their filling on the rising tide, and the leading frigate being completely in flames, when
Captain Hotham thought it advisable to get under sail, one of the batteries doing more execution in his hull than all the fire he had been exposed to before.
Captain H. directed the commander or the Growler gun-brig to stand in and fire, to prevent the enemy from returning to their vessel., which service
Lieutenant J. Weeks nobly performed.
At five minutes before eight the frigate on fire blew up, with an awful explosion, leaving no remains of her visible.
At ten the other frigate appeared to be on fire, and at half past eleven the flames burst forth from her ports, and every part with unextinguishable fury. She exploded at 35 minutes after two in the morning, leaving a portion of her after-part burning till it was entirely consumed.
In the course of that day,
Capt. Hotham had the satisfaction to see, from off the N. W. point of Groa, a third fire and explosion in the same spot, which could have been no other than the brig.
During the time of firing on the enemy vessels, a Portuguese seaman, who had been captured by them on the 22d of February, in the ship Harmony, of Lisbon, swam off to the Northumberland, and informed
Captain Hotham that their names were L'Arianne and L'Andromache, of 44 guns and 450 men each, and the Mameluke brig, of 18 guns and 150 men. They had been cruizing in the Atlantic, and had destroyed, 36 vessels, taking the most valuable parts of their cargoes, and sent one vessel as a cartel to England, with about 200 prisoners.
Capt. Hotham bestows warm praises on his Officers and men, and regrets his loss, which was 4 seamen and 1 marine killed; 1 Officer, 3 Petty Officers, 19 seamen, and 5 marines wounded; of whom 4 are dangerously, 10 severely, and 14 slightly.- The Officer wounded (
Lieut. William Fletcher) will soon be restored.
LONDON.
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 30.
During three weeks prior to the last dates from Rio Janeiro, there had been a terrible epidemic disorder, which had carried off 870 persons; and at the time when the packet left the coast, both the Princess Regent and Don Pedro had the disorder. The most remarkable symptom is the black vomiting with which it is uniformly attended.
New York and other American papers were this morning received in town, to the date of the 26th ult. and one letter from Sandy Hook to the date of the 27th of that month. The Executive Government was proceeding to organize the army and in one week 3000 new recruits, in the city of New York only, had been enrolled.
All the letters are written under the influence of hostile feeling towards Great Britain; and the public proceedings are dictated by the same spirit ; but it is nearly certain that war will not be declared against us before the 4th of July, when the Embargo Law expires. It is the anniversary of the American Revolution.
SPECIAL ASSIZES.- On Monday evening the
Justices Dallas and
Burton opened the Special Commission at Chester. The next day they attended divine service at the Cathedral, and proceeded to Court. The Grand Jury being sworn in,

Vice-President Clinton. A New York paper of the 25th ult. states that

Port News.
FALMOUTH, May 28.- By the Queen Charlotte packet, which arrived on Sunday, in six days, from Lisbon, we learn that General Hill had advanced into Spain, with the view, it is conjectured, of destroying the enemy's works at the bridge of Almarez, on the Tagus; that Lord Wellington was moving to the southward; and that the numerous wounded men were doing very well, about 1200 being already nearly fit to rejoin their regiments.
The Ann packet came in last evening, in ten weeks, from Brazil. Trade was exceedingly dull ; in consequence of which and the heavy taxes levied on the wines, it Is said, much discontent prevailed amongst the people.
PLYMOUTH, .May 29. On Monday came in the Patent, Capt. Martin, which sailed from hence for Madeira about a month since. She was captured, with twenty-seven other merchantmen of various kinds, by two French frigates.
On Tuesday evening came in the Northumberland, of 74 guns, Capt. Hotham, from off L'Orient.
Sailed the Bulwark, of 74 guns; on a cruize.
Yesterday came in the American ship General Gates, from Bourdeaux, bound to New York, laden with a very valuable cargo of brandy, wine, and silks, detained by the Dryad and Belle Poule, of 38 guns each: she is about 900 tons burthen, and a very fine corvette built ship.
About six weeks since the Belle Poule, detained a very fine American schooner, called the Gipsey, of about 220 tons, from New York to Bourdeaux, laden with colonial produce, and put on board two Officers with several men to navigate her to this port; but about six hours after, four Americans, who were concealed below, came upon deck, and joined the Master and those Americans who were left on board, and recaptured the vessel, and carried her into France, after turning the people belonging to the Belle Poule adrift in the Gipsey's long-boat, who reached their ship in about ten hours after. This is said to be the second vessel that the same Master has recaptured and carried into France, by the same stratagem.

Miss M. Geddes, of Alderbury, near Salisbury, for an Oil Painting, a Copy from Guido - the Silver Medal."
A storm came on here on Friday, and heavily extended its influence across the Plain, particularly on the Hampshire side. About two o'clock the clouds appeared deeply embodied, but soon broke and rapidly flew about in different directions, presenting to the N.E. the shape of a rainbow, broken in the centre, from which issued several flashes of remarkably vivid lightning, followed by loud peals of thunder: the lightning struck a barn adjoining Rookbury Mill , Andover, belonging to
Mr. Holloway, which was instantly in a blaze, and was totally consumed, with a load of wheat deposited therein, a stable adjoining, and two carts ; - the instantaneous and complete destruction of one of the carts exciting particular astonishment.
Mr. Bramley, late a watch-maker at Andover, but retired, from business, and another man, a carter, were seeking shelter by the side of the barn, and were much affected by the lightning.
Mr. Bramley soon recovered, but the carter remained blind some time: he was partially relieved by bleeding, and there are hopes of his perfectly regaining his sight.

A surgeon, after inspecting the body, was perfectly convinced that no external injury had received, as no marks of violence appeared on any part of the body; a verdict was therefore returned - "Died in consequence of convulsions brought on by excessive drinking."
