Nous avons lu dans les Nos. 282 et 288 du Moniteur, article Londres, extraits des papiers anglais, le rapport inexact du capitaine anglais Blackwood; il a indigné toute l'escadre. Elle attestera toute entière qu'un seul vaisseau de 74, (l'Ajax,) et la frégate l'Amélie, purent approcher les trois vaisseaux ennemis, parce que le vent tomba tout-à-fait, et changer ensuite cap pour cap, ce qui y plaçait ses derniers: ils étaient donc les seuls maîtres d'attaquer, et loin d'en venir à une seconde action, en se dirigeant sur le vaisseau l'Ajax et la frégate l'Amélie, ils ont fui. L'intrépidité des marins qui composent l'escadre ne le cédera en rien à celles des Anglais; et le moment viendra peut-être où le capitaine Blackwood aura à faire une autre preuve de courage que celle dont il se vante. Il est faux que le vaisseau amiral de 130 canons ait tiré une bordée à ce capitaine ni aux autres; certes s'il avait pu les joindre ils s'en seraient aperçus. Il faut, monsieur, avoir la jactance d'un Anglais pour vouloir faire penser que le feu de trois vaisseaux de cette nation puisse faire taire celui de six de nôtre et les faire fuir.
