The Action of 7 July 1799 was a minor naval engagement of the Napoleonic Wars in which the Spanish 34-gun frigate ''Nuestra Señora del Carmen'' captured the Royal Navy's 18-gun Hired armed cutter ''Penelope'', which was under the command of Sir Frederick Maitland. ==Background== In June 1799, the French and Spanish fleets under Admirals Mazarredo and Bruix, amounting to forty sail of the line, and upwards of thirty frigates and smaller vessels joined up at Cartagena. On 7 July lookouts at Gibraltar saw the combined fleet close to the Barbary shore. Some of the Spanish ships amused themselves by firing at two vessels belonging to the Algerines.〔Marshall p.384〕 Admiral Jervis, Earl of Saint Vincent, who was on board the 44-gun ship , at anchor in the bay and on the eve of his departure for England, sent Lieutenant Maitland in the ''Penelope'' to reconnoiter and ascertain the cause of the firing.〔 Maitland set sail towards Ceuta.
