On the 4th the Thames, Cynthia, and small force, attacked the S. W. end of Quiberon, silenced the forts, which were afterwards destroyed by a party of troops landed under Major Ramsay ; several vessels were brought off, and some scuttled; the only loss 2 killed and 1 wounded on board the Cynthia. On the 6th, before day, we succeeded in an attempt upon the Morbihan, from whence were taken 2 brigs, 2 sloops, 2 gun-vessels, and about 100 prisoners; a corvette, I'lnsolente of 18 guns! was burnt, with several other small craft, the guns all destroyed, and the magazine blown up.
Three hundred of the Queen's regiment were employed upon this service; and the gun-launches and naval force were under the direction of Lieutenant John Pilfold of this ship, who boarded the corvette with much bravery, and performed the service with much judgment and officer-like conduct; the loss was only one seaman killed in his boat, and some slight hurts
