"La acci\u00F3n del 4 de agosto de 1800 fue un enfrentamiento naval muy inusual que tuvo lugar frente a la costa brasile\u00F1a durante las Guerras Revolucionarias Francesas. Una fuerza de fragata francesa que hab\u00EDa estado atacando el comercio brit\u00E1nico frente a \u00C1frica Occidental se acerc\u00F3 e intent\u00F3 atacar un convoy de valiosos (buques mercantes grandes y fuertemente armados que navegaban desde Gran Breta\u00F1a a la India brit\u00E1nica y China), dos barcos que navegaban hacia Botany Bay y un ballenero navegando para la pesquer\u00EDa de ballenas de los Mares del Sur. El peque\u00F1o buque brit\u00E1nico de l\u00EDnea escolt\u00F3 al convoy, que de lo contrario ten\u00EDa que depender del armamento individual de los barcos para protegerlos de los ataques. Debido a su gran tama\u00F1o, los indios orientales pod\u00EDan ser confundidos con barcos de l\u00EDnea a distancia, y el comandante franc\u00E9s comodoro no estaba nervioso cuando el convoy form\u00F3 una l\u00EDnea de batalla. Suponiendo que su objetivo fuera una flota de poderosos buques de guerra, se volvi\u00F3 para escapar y el comandante brit\u00E1nico, el capit\u00E1n Rowley Bulteel, orden\u00F3 inmediatamente una persecuci\u00F3n. Para preservar la impresi\u00F3n de los buques de guerra, tambi\u00E9n orden\u00F3 a cuatro de sus indios orientales m\u00E1s poderosos que se unieran a la persecuci\u00F3n. Belliqueux r\u00E1pidamente corri\u00F3 el buque insignia de Landolphe, el , dejando a Landolphe sin otra opci\u00F3n que rendirse sin ninguna resistencia seria. El resto de la escuadra francesa continu\u00F3 huyendo por separado durante la noche, cada uno perseguido por dos indios orientales. Despu\u00E9s de una hora y media de persecuci\u00F3n, con la oscuridad cayendo, el indio oriental se acerc\u00F3 a la fragata francesa , dando la impresi\u00F3n mediante el uso de luces de que Exeter era un gran barco de l\u00EDnea. Crey\u00E9ndose superado, el capit\u00E1n Jean-Daniel Coudin, de M\u00E9d\u00E9e, se rindi\u00F3, solo descubriendo la verdadera identidad de su agresor cuando subi\u00F3 a bordo del Exeter. La acci\u00F3n es la \u00FAnica ocasi\u00F3n durante la guerra en la que un buque mercante brit\u00E1nico captur\u00F3 un gran buque de guerra franc\u00E9s."@es . . "15701"^^ . . . .

"The action of 4 August 1800 was a highly unusual naval engagement that took place off the Brazilian coast during the French Revolutionary Wars. A French frigate force that had been raiding British commerce off West Africa approached and attempted to attack a convoy of valuable East Indiamen (large and heavily armed merchant vessels sailing from Britain to British India and China), two ships sailing for Botany Bay, and a whaler sailing for the South Seas' whale fishery. The small British ship of the line HMS Belliqueux escorted the convoy, which otherwise had to rely on the ships' individual armament to protect them from attack.

Supposing his target to be a fleet of powerful warships he turned to escape and the British commander, Captain Rowley Bulteel, immediately ordered a pursuit. To preserve the impression of warships he also ordered four of his most powerful East Indiamen to join the chase. Belliqueux rapidly out ran Landolphe's flagship Concorde, leaving Landolphe with no option but to surrender without any serious resistance. The rest of the French squadron continued to flee separately during the night, each pursued by two East Indiamen. After an hour and a half in pursuit, with darkness falling, the East Indiaman Exeter came alongside the French frigate M\u00E9d\u00E9e, giving the impression by use of lights that Exeter was a large ship of the line. Believing himself outgunned, Captain Jean-Daniel Coudin, of M\u00E9d\u00E9e, surrendered, only discovering his assailant's true identity when he came aboard Exeter. The action is the only occasion during the war in which a British merchant vessel captured a large French warship."@en . . . "Henry Meriton"@en . "7"^^ . "1"^^ . "Off the coast of Brazil"@en .
