Lem A. in} 3-2 Ceinfola foe sot split By accounts from our fqnadron off Havre, we' learn, that a few days ago, fome bombs were thrown into that place. Some of the enemy's boats came out to oppofe our lquatlron, which, from unfavour able wind, drew off without giving them an oppor tnnity'of trying their courage. It is expated, how- ever, that they will render them that favour in a few days. On Wednefday we Rated, that accounts had been received of an engagement having taken place be tween the homeward-bound China fleet, and the (qua dron under the command of Admiral LINOIS. We are happy to have it in our power to confirm fully this important intelligence. The anion lafted Tome time with great warmth, at length Lim, finding the attempt hopelefs, was glad to efcape himfelf, in- Read of taking any of our fhips. His Teals were fo much fluttered in the engagement, that they are effenually difabled, for Come time at lean, from at tempting any further depredations on nur commerce. It has ken (fated in Come of the papers, that the CsarultlON of so guns, was probably with the China fleet at the time of the anion, but we have the Rrongft reafons for believing that that was not the cafe. Indeed we are convinced there could not pot. fibly have been any man of war with the fleet, as the monfoon was direaly in the teeth of a Chip failing from Madras or Bombay, where the whole of Admiral Ramses fleet was in January tall, ex cept a few that were cruising in the Bay of Bengal. The whole merit, therefore, of this atchievernent, belongs to the officers and crews of the Indiamen. We have received American papers to the sath ult. The moll important article of intelligence brought by them is the difmitfal of Mr. LIVINGSTONE from his diplomatic Mini(lry at Paris. The general opi nion at New York was, that General ARMSTRONG would be appointed to tuccecd him. There is evcry reafon to fuppofe that Mr. LtvtwcsroNs's recall mull have arifen from his weak conclntl and outrage ous espreffions, refpeeing the correfpondence attri buted to Mr. MARI. We cannot, therefore, but re gard this eircumflance as an unequivocal token of the with of the American Government to preferve the fubfiding harmony between the United States and this Country.

At twelve they opened a fire on the town, which was returned very brilkly by (hells and shot, many of which went a confiderable way over the fquadron. At two o'clock, (even or eight of the enemy's loggers came out of harbour, and opened upon us ; but the wind proving lets favourable than we could have walled, the Commander thought pro per to difcontinue the bombardment, but not until we had thrown upwards of fifty Bulls into the town. which no doubt did a great deal of damage. We however 'nattily cape& a regular bembardment when the wind and the tide become favourable to us. P. S. The enemy's brigs feem jull now to be tak ing an advantageous pofition to oppote us.

Yefterday evening the weather being clear and the fun shining upon the French marl, we had a very good view of the enemy, and have clearly ascertained that their lots in the gale of Friday and Saturday lag has been very confiderable. We diffinelly count ed nine wrecks on the rocks between Pond and Bou logne, and from the boldnefs of the mall and the tre mendous sea, when they went Acme, it is fearcely poffible that any of the people on board, Soo in num ber at kart, could have been Paved—the entire coaß between Boulogne and Pond was covered with wag gons and (oldie's, clearing away the wrecks, and an immensity of (mall boats were engaged in (catching the bottom for different articles. In the (pace of so Yards, dote under Portel, there are a gun-brig and four loggers completely dallied to pieces. The few brigs that fucceeded in getting into Boulogne, feem to be much damaged in their malls and rigging ; in deed from the amazing furl; when getting in, it is impoffible it could be otherwife. Altogether the lots of the enemy on Saturday morning, has been the molt revere they have met with fence the commence ment of the war, and it is highly probable that the foldiers will not be fo sanguine for the expedition, after having had loch convincing proofs of the dan ger attending it, and having feen our (hips ride out gales of wind in pedal fafety, when they have inva riably (offered, both in men and vessels. ass, pixy 35, tSo4. On Sunday evening the aid inflant, the Stag revenue cutter, of this place, being off Beachy Head, law two large loggers five miles to windward, and knowing them to be privateers which have done con fiderable damage on the coaft, immediately made all fail after them. Between ten and eleven that even ing, one of them was feen to board a brig going up Channel, the other being not far diftant at the time. As the Stag had a running breeze, The made between them, the wind being then Weft-Soutli•Well, but the tuggers teemed determined to protect their prize. The Stag, knowing that if the breeze fhould fail them, they would attempt to board, and having 0..1y a few hands on board, determined to make a pull) at one of them as long as the breeze Lifted. She accordingly made for the wind w one, which endeavoured to get away as fag as pritrible, while the STAG crowded fail to come up with her. In the mean time the lug. ger to leeward punned the STAG, but being a worse (Ace than the other fell considerably Act n. The other one finding her fell hard preffed, cut away her upper works, in order to lighten her; but about half pall three, being dole in with the shore, the Sean got her broadfide to bear, and gave her the wh ile of it, which teemed to produce a great circa. As the was now under proteElion of the batteries, the STAG was obliged to heave about to the N. E. in hopes of falling in with the other lugger and her prize. About half pall 4, the logger was teen with the brig in tow, upon which the gave chafe, and die lugger finding that the Stag came hitt up with her, took out all else hands from the brig and tut ned her adrift. The Stag im mediately difpatched live hands in a boat to board the brig, arid then continued the chafe with only' , twenty-two men on board ; and obfersing that the lugger was full of men, refolved to drive her on (bore if p iflible. A running fight now commenced, but the Stag perceiving that the lugger had got under t'.e protation of the batteries of Sr. Vallery, gave up the chafe and made for the prize, which turned out to he a valuable (hip from Watrs ford to London, with L I a cargo of ',utter, &c. The Captain was on board with three f.r.all children, the tett of the people were ; taken out by the French and carried ore. One of the luggers had 16 tit and four pounders, with one bun thcji men; the LL::4l' was not to large, but had on board feventy men. The Captain of the prize Paid, that hail it not been for the perfeverance of Mr. BETTS, the Comm I ruling Officer on board the Srac, feveral other velfcls would have filial into the hands of the enemy. Great praife, therefore, is due to Mr. BETTS, who with only 25 men was able to drive one lugger onfhore and retake a brig from the other,efpcci ally asit loon after fell calm. The NILE cutter, which now hove in fight, fait a butt on board the prize, and demanded poffeffiuti of her, and aftually carried her into Ramfgate. The pticc mailer, however, would not quit her, and Mr. Br r rs, we underfland, means to claim what he confiders as belonging to him and to his brave crew.
