JacVon , Master of the Vil ! e de Paris , who volunteered his able services within 2500 yards of the walls of Cadiz , and the shells were thrown from her with much precision , under the direction of Lieutenant Baynes of the Roy . a Artillery ; but unfortunately it was soon foir .-d that the large mortar was materially injured from it ' s former services .

gallan ' ry of every officer man , y Miller , the former of whom accompanied me in my barge ; and to my Coxswam , John Sykes , who , in defending my person , is most severely wounded , as was Captain Freemantle slig htly , in the attack I must also beg to be permitted to express my admiration of Don- Miguel Tyrason , the commander of the gunboats , in his barge : he laid my boat alongside , and his resistance was such as to honour a brave Officer , eighteen or twenty-six men being killed , and himself and all the rest wounded . Not having a correct list of the killed and wounded , lean only state that I believe six are killed , and 220 wounded . . ¦ ' ' HORATIO NELSON .
