  • The action of 10 December 1800 was a minor engagement of the Napoleonic Wars in which the Spanish privateer gunboat San Francisco Javier, alias Poderoso, under Don Miguel Villalba, captured a hired brig of the Royal Navy commanded by Lieutenant Charles Niven (or Nevin). On 20 December the British hired armed brig Sir Thomas Pasley (or Admiral Pasley, or Pasley), left Plymouth, England with despatches for Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta. After calling at Lisbon, Sir Thomas Pasley was off Ceuta when on 10 December a Spanish gunboat approached using sails and sweeps. At the time of the engagement Pasley was armed with two 6-pounder guns and fourteen 12-pounder carronades. She had a crew of 45 men. The Spanish gunboat, which was armed with one long 24-pounder and two 6-pounder guns, placed herself astern of Pasley and proceeded to fire on the brig. The wind died down, preventing Pasley from maneuvering to bring her two 6-pounder bow-chasers to bear. The British tried to move the guns to the stern, but the carronades left them no space in which to place the guns. The British sailors were left to respond to the Spanish cannon fire with no more than small arms fire. Spanish boarding parties took the brig at the third attempt, having shot away the British halyard during the skirmish. Niven had been wounded in three places, and the master was also badly wounded. In addition, the British had lost three other sailors killed and six more wounded. The Spaniards took their prize to Ceuta, and then Algeciras. Niven faced a court-martial for the loss of his ship and was honourably acquitted. (en)
  • La acción del 10 de diciembre de 1800 fue un enfrentamiento menor de las Guerras Napoleónicas en el que el cañonero corsario español San Francisco Javier, alias Poderoso, al mando de don Miguel Villalba, capturó un bergantín contratado de la Royal Navy comandado por el teniente Charles Niven (o Nevin). El 20 de diciembre, el bergantín armado británico Sir Thomas Pasley (o Almirante Pasley, o Pasley),​ salió de Plymouth, Inglaterra con envíos a Lisboa, Gibraltar y Malta. Después de hacer escala en Lisboa, Sir Thomas Pasley estaba frente a Ceuta cuando el 10 de diciembre un cañonero español se acercó utilizando velas y barridos.​​ La cañonera española, que estaba armada con un cañón largo de 24 libras y dos de 6 libras, se colocó a popa de Pasley y procedió a disparar contra el bergantín.​ El viento se calmó, impidiendo que Pasley maniobrara para llevar a sus dos cazadores de arco de 6 libras. Los británicos trataron de mover los cañones a la popa, pero las carronadas no les dejaron espacio para colocar los cañones. Los marineros británicos tuvieron que responder al fuego de cañón español con nada más que fuego de armas pequeñas.​ Los grupos de abordaje españoles tomaron el bergantín en el tercer intento, después de haber disparado contra el driza británico durante la escaramuza.​ Niven había sido herido en tres lugares, y el maestro también estaba gravemente herido. Además, los británicos habían perdido a otros tres marineros muertos y seis más heridos.​ Los españoles llevaron su premio a Ceuta, y luego a Algeciras. Niven se enfrentó a un consejo de guerra por la pérdida de su barco y fue absuelto honorablemente.​ (es)
