Copy of a letter from Lord Vifcount N Ls* n, K. B. Vice Ad miral of the Blue, &c. to EVAN Ni Pt AN, Efq. dated on board his Majefty's Chip MEDUSA, off Boulogne, the 4th inft. SlR—The enemy's veffels, brigs, and flats, (lug ger rigged,) and a fchooner, twenty-four in num ber, were this morning, at daylight, anchored in a line in front of the town of Boulogne ; the Wind being favourable for the bombs to ad, I made the fignal for them to weigh, and to throw fhells at the veffels, but as little as poffible to annoy the town ; the Captains placed their (hips in the belt poffible pofition, and in a few hours three of the fiats and a brig were funk ; and in the courfe of the morn ing fix were on fhore, evidently much damaged ; at fix in the evening, being high water, five of the veffels which had been aground, hauled with dif ficulty into the Mole, the others remained under water; I believe the whole of the veffels would have gone infide the Pier but for the want of wa ter. What damage the enemy have fuftained, be yond what we fee, is impoffible to tell. The whole of this affair is of no further confequence, than to fhew the enemy they cannot, with impunity, come outride their Ports. The Officers of Artillery threw the (hells with great and I am forry to fay that Captain FYI es, of the Royal Artillery, is nightly wounded in the thigh by the burfting of an enemy's fhell, and two feamen are alfo wounded.
