LORD ArEisort. . . Nothing O ffi cial refpeeingihe ezpicStion agait t s B o ulogne has yet been fiublilhed, but the Mut of the attack is now pretty well known. The ColloWing letter from Dover will Pik our readers in poffetfion of the particulars of hiit Lord. Thip's proceedings down to yeaerclay morning, after which time it would appear that little more was attempted ; for by our letters from Deal we learn that feveral of the bombs and tenders returned there yeiterday, and our letters from Margate flate, that the Admiral with part of his fleet has come into the Roads there. Ten of the French gun-vac's have been de ilroyed, notwithitanding -the difficulty of getting at them, which From the nature of the harbour was very great. The whole bufinefs was done with bombs, the ilallownefs of the water keeping our men of war at fuch a dillance that their (hot could not take effeet: this circumftance, however, en ables us to Hate, that the fervice that has been rendered by the deftruetion of thefe veffels has been accoMpinied with hardly any lofs. The fa& tarns out to be, that at Boulogne the pteparations of the enemy were by no means fo formidable as report had flitted them. In their heft nate of eqttipment they could never have tianfPoi:ted- 4pooo pun. The whole number 01 g un-boats at that quarter' did not exceed twenty, and in dellroYing one•half of thew Lord N*t.so■ has done all that fpirit combined with prudenta' Could effect, and all that Government calculated upon. Doiiti; THULIDAT, 01111 P. M. be Sattirday, Lord Nelfoti (ailed from Deal, and the fame evening took the command of the fqua'dion of (mail .spa of war noising of Boulogne, under the coriathand of Captain Somer ville of the Eugenia. His Lordthip ordered all fhips of war to ink, and (eart h did on Sunday, till at left they natenuited . thirty-fens fail, including gun-boats, brigs, the. His LIM Rip brought them all up before Boulogne, and made fignarthg them to divide into two rquadrons; one (quadron ao be to Willis I ward. On hfondaj Lord Nelfen Rood clofe into Boulogne With ' fame of the tomb-veffels, and three, leveret bombs to try bow they would Meth the enemy. Finding they reached the ams. be inedefirwrof renal, and they sischored *boot roar Mike from the land. The more at Boulogne ftrethhes nearly Bat and Weft. To wards the Eat a point of land runs out forming a bay. The south of the harbour la id the middle of this, and looks canto theporth. The enemy's leffels, confifting of fix brigs, two (choosers, and about 20 or 3o gun-boats, were arranged in a line along the beach, net half a mile from more, one halt Eaß' but the largeft half Weft of the hafbour's mouth, in Rom Of which was the iargeft brig. On the beach weft attic bantam was a Rrong battery, which kept up a very heavy fire. The battery on the pier-heed, eaR of the harbour, lid not fire much, bat triad a mull now and WA. On Monday night, Lord Nelfon Went under cover of the dart, in a four-oared gig, a long thrift boat, and reconnoitred die enemy's parkin, and found it as above dercribed. He then ailed orders to begin the attack at break of day next morninr At fad o'clock, he himfelf Rationed the bombs, five in number, in an oblique line, Itretching from the weft end of the enemy's line. They come to Locher, add began throwing bombs about fist o'clock the other (hips °twee being Rationed under weigh' is soother line, behind the bombs, ready to resider at:finance , Nis Lordthip's, own flag was placed in front of the harbour' having our two End, one of bombs, another of (mail (hips of war, ftretching from his right ; behind thefe lines was the Ley o den, of 64 guns. His Lordthip's Intention wai to attack the enemy's smile!, with bombs only, as they reach mach farther than that, and would prove effedual, while the eneweg could not read! us. At fit o'clock, however, it being dheikli. water, Lord Welton, deGrous of convincing the enemy what a heavy fire he coot', play upon them, and, at the lathe time, to Induce them to difelde their krongeft points, Whiling diffieuk to ilifeder their batteries, the cliffs being of a brown clay, fern oar &los of war very dole to the (Mee In face of the batteries, where they firft fired one broadfide, and, tacking round, fired the other; then failing away loaded for another fuck attack. This produced a molt tremendous fire en both fides, and it was this that firft rive the town of Dover notice of the engage them. When the water fell it was neeeffarily given over; but it had the dared died of convincing Lord NZLSON that he had goer( d the nature of the enemy's itraigth, and that be had judicioufly pladd the gun-boats. While the fhips were firing their s broadlides as above mentioned, at (even in the morning, his Leedthip was in hi s b a r ge , m ov i ng a b ou t ; making °birds ' door and minutes, which may be ufcful in a future attack. He vifited the bombs feparately, and rowed along the whole toe, amidit a flower of (hot and Rath from the enemy, attend ed by the King and Queen cutters; and, by the fame cool and intrepid condo& dl(played in all the aCtions of this great man, giving his orders, and animating bj example. The French batteries on each Me the harbour could only fire ftralght oat, or nearly fo, while our bombe were Rationed fo much to their left that the'batteries could not bear upon them. Add to this, that the bombs, being placed to the weftward, obliquely from the enemy's line of vrefels, every bomb thrown bad the ad vantage of raking the whole line, as it were. For inftance, if a bomb were thrown for the farthelt French !hip, and fell Roost, it had a rut chance of hitting one in the line nearer; or a. thrown for the neareß, and going beyond her, it had a chance of hitting another farther off. The French loon &funded the inutility of their batteries, and found that Lord Helton bed not been fo polite as to attack than in the manner they ezpoded: They therefore fet a number of men on to throw up work. -nd batteries on the hill in the eaftern turn of the Bay, which Inks the whole lime of math This covered the mouth of the hatlionr tolerably well; but it could not reach one band* which WCTC at the extremity of the weilward, and the enemy threw only akw !bells from Is. 'rhe difpcifitlon and °bled of our wilds were to form all the Franck (kips to retreat towards the mouth of the harbour, that, having them in a clutter, their deltruftion might creamily be made at night. In this we partly fucceeded. The enemy's fire continued very heavy till about cue o'clock, when it wholly eared from the hills and batleAdli fecarg, no doubt s that k was utterly ineffeetua/ ; but ear Art ono*** ormaimsed with smabased ricaur.—One vefei threw tarobrad u 6 Amelas.

It was Lord Nelfon's intention; in the dark, to have fort three bombs elofe upon the enemy, each bomb towed by ten boats ; the bombs were to attack the enemy in a way that could not fail of annihilating them ; and the boats were to be ready to row the bombs away, in cafe of accident. Lord Nelfon likewife ordered all thips to keep as dole zt poffible, to render them neceffary affiftanee ; but the wind Wiling, the attack became impradicable without the utmoft danger; and our whole fleet was obliged to haul off without making the attempt. Lord Nelfon will, however, loon give the Navy another opportunity of diftingufthing themfelves, as he intends to bring up flat-bottomed boats to the attack, at the time the bombs are throwing Sells. Yeiterday, our fleet flood off from Boulogne ; and the various Mips have this day been difperfed, providing themfelves with• ammunition, &e. Some flat-bottomed boats have failed from the Downs. Part of our fleet is now near Boulogne, and it 'is probable, the attack may be renewed this night. The fquadron at Boulogne, is again under command of Captain Somerville, of the Eugenia. Lord Nelfon is making the neaffary preparations. Our loft was on board the Sulphur one engineer' wounded, and one fesman loft an arm. Some of the Rending rigging we* jalio cut. This was all OUT loft. A confiderable number of Frenchmen went to the bottom in the firft three veffels that funk. As the gun boats raked the More, little or no damage was done to the town of Boulogne. It was propofed to bombard it ; but Lord Nelfon Paid, he would not make war on women and children ; one or two bombs flitch the pier head and fplit the stones, making thaw fly. This did lone damage, and frighten ed the inhabitants, as trunks and furniture were ken removing. Molt of the inhabitants could be Peen on the heights eaftward of the town,having left their houfa. It is laid that a fteeple was a little damaged, but not knocked down ; neither was the town on fire, as reported in the London Papers.—There are about so tents on the heights welt of the town in view; but. it is confi dently raid there is a large encampment behind the hills on the ealt fide.—Numbers of troops have been:fan into Boulogne lance the attack.

EXTRACT OF A.LETTRi FROM AN OFFICER. ON BOARD SIR JAMES SALIMARRE'S SQUADRON, DATED GIB RALTAR, JULY 9. " I embrace the first moment to give you an account of the tremendous action of the 6tb.—At half part two on Sunday morning, the sth, we were Joined off . Cadiz by a boat from Tangier, that gave us the information of three French Call of the line and a frigate, being at anchor in Algeziras Bay ; im mediately all hands were called, and we prepared for idiots The whole of Sunday night we were at quarters; at about fevea in the morning we opened Caberata Point, and dikover ed the enemy at anchor, Come diftance from the batteries. The VIN zzzzzz according to the order of attack, led in, and an chored abre aft of one of the Mips : fie was followed by the POtirat, CZSAI, and AUDACIOUS, and indeed a mod tre mendous fire was kept up.—Owing to the light airs, the HAN NIBAL and Stexcea could not for fome time come into :talon; at length, the HANNIBAL got a breeze, and Captain FiaRIS, In the molt gallant manner, bore up, intending to lay himfeif athwart the bowl of the French Admiral; unfortunately, the Rack, and left him for near three hours expofed to a molt dreadful fire indeed, from two flips, affifted by the gun-boats and batteries on more. We, now and then, got a gun to bear, and destroyed about Isto men in one of their batteries. Dur ing this time we were endeavouring, with the AUDACIOUS, to refcue her; but a total failure of wind counteraEted all our [ endeavours, and we had the mortification of leaving her in the poffeffion of the enany.--The Captain and Officers of the HANNIBAL are now coming here on parole I L and, from Lord COCIMANI, who was lately taken in the SPEEDY, and was aboard one of the Mips, we learn that upwards of moo men were killed and wounded in the French Mips, bade* thole In the batteries. Indeed, -from one of our Officers, who was in the. hofffital, at Algeziras, we hear their loft mutt have been dreadful as he Caw upwards of 700 wounded French and Spaniards; and, to do the enemy jultice, they took every pa. fible are of our wounded, who will all be brought to this hofpital. The action lasted five hours and an half, and the lots we have fuftained, in killed and wounded, amounts to more than 350, though the killed are only rat ; and the greater [ pant of thole wounded are not dangeroufly : the loft, on both fides, confidering the Mips engaged, Is very great 1 am happy to ba able to tell you, that, in general, the Officers efcaped • wonderfully well—Poor Mr. GRAYS, our Matter, was the only one we loft ;--pcor fellow !—be was Rending on the poop, between the Admiral and myfelf, taking and giving diredlions for trimming the fails, Intending to bring the °sip as cloth as poffible to the enemy, and fettle them with a Tingle broadfide a (pent ball from a battery, which I Caw coming, ftruck him in the neck, and almoft carried his head off: we yefterday paid him the fast fad duties, and buried him in the garrifon with military honours. The Mader of the Poural likevrife There was not a finglc Lieutenant killed, and only two wound ed, and thole not badly.—The brave Captain Fauns and ad his Officers (except one wounded), cfcaped; the kla:mxiissi. had nearly to men killed and wounded. " Our great left was owing to the batteries, as the French in the midst of the attloa warped their Mips under them, and manned them with troops they had on board, after kicking the Spaniards cut of the batteries (who annoyed us very little). We foon found the change ;---tbe French (erred their guns ex tremely well, and as we were Come time within three cables length of oue.of than, we experienced it; indeed the blot came flying about& thick and heavy, that I am aftonithed how we draped fo well, having only flue killed, twenty-five wounded, and eight miffing; but we have fuffercd much in our malts and rigging; our mainmaft is this morning taken out, unfervicea ble ; we are draining every nerve to get the fquadron refitted , as we onderftand they mean to fend &fps from Cadiz to tow the difabled Mips round.
