Captain Hautein, Commander of a Divi(ion of the Flotilla, has tranfmittcd the following Letters to the Mini(ter of the Marine and Colonies : " sta. FCCAMP, JUNE 10. " This morning at (even, I let fail from Havre Roads. At half after nine the divifion under my orderi was attacked by an Englith fquadron, coutiß ing of a frigate, a large corvette, a brig, and a cut ter. which chiefly made for the head of the convoy. The gun corvette. la Foudre, commanded by the Commandant Coeusase, made the ftrongeft refift since, as well as all thole veffels which, from their pofttion in the line. could take a pat t in the aetion. The enemy, greatly damaged by our are, retreated to repair his damage. At half after one he returned and attacked, within ' muiket-shot, the rear of the convoy. which was commanded by a Lieutenant and Commander of the corvettel'Audacieufe.That officer, perceiving that the enemy caufed much trouble to the noop, No. 89, commanded by GMT, which had a tranfport in tow, took the tranfport under his pro teeion, and fupported by the sloop, No. 89, he fought with fuck fury, that the enemy retreated at three o'clock, very. much fluttered and rouhly handled. The o ffi cers, the feamen, and the fol diers, !hewed as much alacrity as courage, in both thefe attions—they are all deferring great praife, but, above all, the Commanders Rolusavae, Glare, and CC/CHERIE. The brave GARY, with his fuppor• ter Leaov, and his Quarter-mater, are dangeroufly woonded. One man only was killed on board the Ihip, No. 333: l'Audacieufe, and No. 89, had about o woundrd. The enemy could not oblige a fingle veffel of the whole divition to alike, though it con- Efied of 2 gun corvettes, 4 Hoops, 3 (hips, 8 pinna .ccs, and t 4 tranfports. I proceeded on my voyage. (Signed) " mamma." Ewalt of a Letter from Capt. J. Attauss, com manding the privateer I'Hirondelle, dated May 30: 4 , On the 16tb of April lad, having quitted Dun kirk Roads, I was ineffedually chaced by an Eng lifh corvette until the next morning. I cruized eight days in the North Sea without being able to approach the Englitb coati, on account of the drong eallerly wind. The only (hip I met was the William, of New cattle, with coals, bound to Bremen—l took the crew out, and funk the veffel. On the astb, baying failed round the Orkneys, I captured two more Eng- Ells Chip., the Diana and the Nile, bound for the B . tic, with falt, and likewife funk hem, On the afitti I fc 'ruled the brig Maria, bound to Canada, with a fimilar cargo. I cruized in 47 deg. latitude, with out meeting with any thing until the 9th of May, when I boarded the brig Ruth, from Litbon, with a cargo of 8575 ox hides, so bales of cotton, and 400 boxes of dried fruit. On the loth of May, it blow ing a frefb breeze from the N. W. being near the Cape, during the night I made fail fora convoy of so of the enemy's veffels, canned by two frigates— but the lea going high, and the moon fhining bright, prevented my attempting any thing. On the 17th, I difcovered an armed three-mated 'hip, bending her cnurfc for the Channel, which I chaced and came up with about two P. M. On finding herfelf clofcly prefect. the hoifted Britilh colours, and bore up, when an edits) commenced. After a heavy fire on both fides for two hours, within pidol lbot, his Britannic Majetly's packet, the Queen Charlotte, itruck. She came from Halifax, and had no cargo on board—was armed with 6-fix and 4 twelve poun ders, and had 4o men. I have 101 l three men killed, and two wounded. The enemy had only'one man killed, but bad many wounded, and his mails and rigging are reduced to the word condition. I have given the command of the prize to Lieut. CHATE• Lam. My provilioas were alma exhauded, from the number of panders I had on board ; I have now landed the latter, and got my damage repaired. I go again to fea immediately. (Signed) ' µ J.

Tisey were to be accompanied by five fail of the line, two frigates, two brigs, and two corvettes, which were then lying in the harbour. The above flatement is in Come degree corrobo- rated by a letter from an Officer on board one of our veffels now cruizing off' the Texel, dated the 17th infant, which fags—" We Rill continue cruizing off Ibis places yefierday we boarded a veffel under Pruffian colours coming out: from the miller of which we learn that the enemy's force confifis of five fail of the line and three large corvettes in the Mars Diep; one line-of-battle Ihip, which has been hove down, and put in a complete condition for lea, and a large frigate in the Niew Diep. The whole were preparing for fea. Several corps of French troops had of hue marched in for the purpofe, it is fuppofed, of acce lerating the works that are carrying on." We are altered, on atobstity taw said , arc cam rt6or that Government have been, fome time, in peer fan of certain fats, upon which they believe. it to be impoffible that there Aould be the fmalleit truth in the report, which for fome days created alarm, of an attack having been made by the French ow ja maica. A few dius ago we noticed, orgy for the pnrpofe eventing our Readers from being impofed upon by it, a rumour that Mr. PITT aad LordStomouvu's friends were at complete variance—founded on no other cireumnance but the necdfity each found them fel Yes under of alning continently, and that too on a point which could nut in itfeif be conlidered as in. uniting a political quenion, Thole prints which believed, or wj4 to believe the ablurd tales that were circulated—who were'ac• tive in contriving or giving them currency, have found themfelves involved is a number of contra- A paragraph appeared in a Morning and Evening Paper of Saturday tall, Rating, that in the debate of latt Thuraty Mr. Fox expreffed himfelf to the fol lowing drat, viz.—" nut it war wow hi: firiev: Bird fettkd refolve net to boob to or acqt of an, public fit' 4a tion ; but that he jhould flipper:, to the heft of hi: abiltiel, the nseafures of shoji who were sow !oohed los at hit pc4 tied frietuit,fhald they come to Ise in coucert with the pro fess Afitsifler." The condemn drawn from this real or pretended fpeech was, that a new coalition was on the tapis, &c. and the public were favoured with many fagaci. OW remarks on the benefits that would refult to the nation from a " combination of talent." The negociation, if there has been any of the kind alluded to, has ended in nothing. It is fairer, how ever, to believe the fiatement of one of the parties than any fuch vague (peculation,. The words that have been put into the mouth of Mr. Fox are, by his friends, denied to have been ufed on the occafion al luded to, or indeed on any occafion; and they feel themlelres fo much hurt, that they have taken con fiderable pains to remove the imprefGon which this pretended fpeech may have produced. The follow. ing are the terms in which they give this contradic tion, and the words which we quote, and which have appeared in all the daily papers into which they could gain admifflon, may be confidered as an official op politico manila° on the point: After quoting the above exprefGons, put into the mouth of Mr. Fox, they fay—" Such are the words imputed to Mr. Fo; in the paragraph alluded to.— We are enabled, on the authority of perfons who fat dole to Mr. Fox, and who liflened moff attentively to that admirable fpeech, TO CONTRADICT &VERY WORD CONTAINED IN THC SAID PARAGRAPH. Not only is there not a fyllable of truth In the alledgment of that paragraph ; but the idea attempted to be conveyed by it is as tulle as the words are different from thole really ufcd by this eminent perfon. Mr. Fox, undoubtedly, expreffed his with for a compre henfive Adminifiration, and declared that no perfonal views of his fhould Rand in the way of In defirable an objea ; but he DID Nor drop one expretlion that could be conflated into an approbation on his part of any of his friends (of whatever defer*tion) forming a junflion with the prefent Miniftry, whom he charac terifed, with his ufual ability, as meriting that con. tempt in which they are univerfally held by an in dignant public." ' The ufurpatione of France, which we Rated yef terday, have produced that general feeling of indig nation which might be expeded. Human nature be ing the fame every where, we are confident all the Powers of Europe mull feel equally indignant ; though fear and (Are prudential motives may make them Rill endure a fyßem, which only tends the more to increafe the danger to which they are exporecl, the longer thcy ab►lain from retiftance. This country has fet a noble and animating ex ample to Europe. Every Rep that has been taken by the Corfican, fince his firft ufurpation, tends to prove the neceffity and police of the war in which we are engaged, and tells us, in legible charaders, that we have no choice left but either to continue it with vigour, or fink ignobly into that gulph in which a number of States, once as independent as our own, have fucceffively been (wallowed up.—We have no itternative but perfeverance, or annihilation as a great, powerful, free, and happy people. But while we talk of vigour, we ought never to allow our indignation to hurry us on to aft: of mad nefs, for that would only be feconding the views of our adverfary, and being acceiTary to our own de itruftion. We hear many, indignant at the aggref lions of the French, exclaiming why pe do not Ilrike Come grand blow ? Why are Minifters fo inaftive ? Why do they not employ the force with , which they are entrufted, in punifhing the perfidious foe ?—This is not the kind of vigour which Prudence can ap prove. What—wafte our means and refources at a time when we 'Ali Make no folictimpreffion on the enemy r Redoce ourfelves to a hate of imbecility by mad expeditions without any folid objeft I Such a con due would be folly. !knitters have judged much better in continuing rather to aQ on the defenfive.— We were threatened with annihilation—our object in the war not the fubjugotion of France, but our own prefavation.
