Excerpt from Diary and Letters of Madame D´arblay, Vol. 2: Author of Evelina, Cecilia, &C.; 1781 to 1786 I now repeat it, however, and give it under my hand, that I should consider such a visit as a very, very great honour, and so would Mr. Thrale.

The Lyon, on our side, commanded by a Welshman, and the Languedoc, on the side of the French, fought with surprising fury, and lost a great number of men; it was a glorious day, though on our side unfortunate. D´Orvilliers has left our Channel after only cutting a few ships out of Torbay, and chasing Sir Charles to Spithead. Many suppose the home campaign quite over for this year.
