We learn from Carthagena, that the whole city was surprized
there lately by a singular accident. The French Admiral, M.
de la Clue, having given orders to all the ships in his
squadron to give a general salvo upon holy Saturday, when,
by the ringing the bells, they knew that the hymn Gloria in
Excelsis was sung at mass, the bullets not being drawn in
the Redoubtable, she fired a broadside on the Souverain and
Centaur, by which many were killed and wounded, and both the
ships were disabled.
