On the 17th of Jan. 1822, Captain Grace was appointed to the Cyrené 20, fitting out at Plymouth, for the African station, where he captured the Dutch schooner Aurora, of 144 tons, 4 guns, and 26 men; and detained l’Hypolite schooner (under French colours), of 95 tons, 2 guns, and 19 men. Both of these vessels were equipped in the most complete manner for slaving, and each had a cargo ready for embarkation at the factories on the Gallinas river; from whence 180 slaves were subsequently brought off, and sent to Sierra Leone, but not until after the boats of the Cyrené had had a sharp brush with the native dealers and their European instigators, the particulars of which are thus detailed by Captain Grace in his official report to the late Commodore Sir Robert Mends, dated Oct. 26th, 1822
