A London dispatch from March 21 details Admiral Mathews's squadron actions near Toulon. The engagement involved the Somerset Dragon and Warwick linking with the fleet, signals from Captain Marth, and heavy fighting that disabled Spanish Admiral Navarro's Real while Marlborough and other ships pursued. The narrative notes casualties, ship damage, and tactical maneuvers across two days of combat with several ships crippled and fire ships attempted.
