From that vessel Captain Ogilvy was removed to the Thunderer 74, in which ship he chased and obliged the Harmony, a frigate of the largest class, recently received by the French government as a present from the United States of America, to seek refuge in Mustique harbour, where she was burnt by the enemy, to prevent her falling into his hands.

Dundee, Scotland.
↑ The British Fleet, under Lord Howe, after throwing supplies into Gibraltar, was pursued and attacked by the combined fleets of France and Spain. The firing continued from sun-set until 10 P.M. but the distance between the hostile forces was so great that it produced little effect on either side. The next morning the enemy were seen standing to the N.W. The loss sustained by the British fleet amounted to 68 killed, and 208 wounded.
