Sir—l have the honour of enclofing, for the in formation of the Lords Commiffioners of the Ad miralty, a letter from Capt. BRISBANE, of his Ma jelly's (hip the DORIS, who commands the frigates e mployed in watching the enemy's fleet at the en trance of Breit harbour, in which important fer vice he has (hewn a great deal of zeal and enter- prize. This daring exploit appears to me to (Lind as high in point of credit to hit Majesty's arms, and glory to thole brave 'officers and men who have fo nobly atchieved it, as any of the kind ever performed.

Daus, a/St-Matthews, July ss, skis. - - Sir--I have the honour to inform you, that a molt daring and gallant enterpril was laft night undertaken by the bola of hi s Maj efty's (hips Do a : s, ssimiso, and Mums, entirely manned by vo lunteers, under the direftion of Lieutenant Lo. SACK of the VI LL I DI PARIS, whofe gallantry on the occifion is better felt than erpreffed,whofucce ed ed in boarding and carrying the French national fhi p la Chevrette, mounting twenty guns, manned and completely prepared with three hundred and fifty men, under the batteries in the Bay of Canierat, and in the prtfence of the combined fleets of France and Spain. Any comments of mine would fall far fhort of the merit due to thole gallant Officers, feamen, and marines employed upon this fervice : it is but jut- Lice to fubjoin their names and qualities*, who have fo nobly added an additional luftre to his *jet ty's arias. I have molt futterely to regret the loft of the killed and wounded, but when compared with that of the enemy, it is comparatively &tall. I cannot conclude without returning my warmefk thanks to Captains Poyarz and GAGS, for their judicious ar rangements of their boats. I beg to mention that Captain ;cam, of his Majefly's Ihip ROBUST, ve ry handfomely fent his barge add pinnace on this fervice I likewife Lieutenant Smits*, who placed his Majelly's hired cutter TILIMACHUS in the Goulct, and prevented any affinance, by boats, the enemy might bave attempted.

The Chevrette French corvette, which came in here yelierday, is mounted with so nine-pounders, and had on board at the time when the &elm com menced, 33 9 men, including troops: when the boats firft attempted to board, the Frenchmen were ranged three deep on the gangways and booms, armed with mikes, pikes, and toma hawks, and being thus fully prepared to meet the &kith tailors, the firfi onfet was very dreadful, and a number of very brave fellows fell, before the objee of boarding was accompliflied ; but the number of killed and wounded on this occafion, we have not yet heard ; after the Englilh were fairly on board. the carnage became more general, and the contefi was kept up with great (laughter for about an hour and a half, until the deck of the vefel was literally filled with dead and wounded bodies, when the Frenchmen finding further re fiance ineffeenal,declared they bad (buck : from the belt accounts we can collet of the killed and wounded on board the corvette, it appears to be l i as follows, vie. is men killed, and 57 wounded of the Enitlith ; and 92 killed, and 6s wounded, of the French ; making in the whole 233: the French Captain was killed in a fuigle combat with Lieu tenant Haviasa, of the thiamin. and the latter was alfei bay wounded in a fabfequent part of the battle. Lieut. Simciatt, of the Marines, was killed in de fk nding a Midfhipman of the Doais, who was alfo wounded in two places while endeavour ing to get on board the corvette. So defperate an undertaking has hardly been attempted during the war, as the (tip lay under the guns of a very ftrong battery, but fortunately all the (hot paired over her, fo that the boats were not much an noyed by them. The (hip has on board a great quantity of Rores for Senegal, and not, as was firs Rated, St. Domingo, to which place (be Was about to fail. s The wounded brought in have been landed this morning, and carried to the Hofpital. Many of the Englifh Tailors we underhand had their arms cut off by the Frenchmen's tomahawks when endeavouring to board. During the anion three 8o gun (hips came out of Breit to ailift the corvette, and the Engin fleet made an attempt to cut them off, but they retreated and got into the harbour again. The Fleet are now cruizing clofe off the port, to prevent any veal from get ting out. Came in the Hyt ma, of 24. guns, from Cork, where fhe left the North Sea Fleet, confifting of 1 2 fail of the line, under the command of Admiral POLE. Sailed the ACHILLSS, of 74 guns, Captain But ER, to join the Channel Fleet. Came in the NIMROD cutter, of 14 guns, from the Channel Fleet. By this veffel it appears that the French fleet at Breit, with the troops on board, are quite ready for a pulp, to affifl in the medita ted invafion of this country. The Officers that were captured in the corvette confirm the account, and fay that it may take place before we are aware of it. PORTSMOUTH, JULY as.

Government have obtained an offer of the ler. vice of .to fifhermen, Dutch prifoners, who are to come down to Scotland, to inffruft our Oh curers in taking, euring, and packing herrings. Twenty are to go the well, and twenty to the raft co..A Leith, Dunbar, and BurntiflAnd, will be their rendezvous. At Kylefcknw, about ten days ago, the take of herrings was fo gre:.t that the filhermen were obliged to cut their nets, in order to difcharge the herrings. In Caithnefs the take has been very confiderable, fo that in the courfe of next week their new falted herrings may be expedted to meet our potatoes at market, which ars daily falling in price, owing to the appearance of as abundant crop over at Scotland.

Extra& of a letter from an officer on board the fleet off Breit, under the command of Admiral CORNWALLIS, July 13.-- , We have been cruizing off Mint nearly i 6 weeks, and have along tin* been expeding the French fleet out ; but the fight of MoiriOrar Maseauvrr, (as the French call Admi. ral COILNWALLIS terri fi es them too much. Th e y have lying in Breit, 35 fail of the line, and i g tranfports. We confia of 31 fail only ; and, th ou they talk of invading England, are af ra id, wit h fo they a force, to fight us. We have been trying all fchemes to get them out, but cannot fucceed." The PrufGan Hoop Young Matthias, arrived at Cowes, with butter, left Morlaix a few days fince: the mailer, Da Hui, reports, there is no fmali craft lying in the harbour, nor any gun boats at hand to warrant a fufpicion, that the French me ditate an embarkation, to att upon the Britith coatis ; though it is believed they are planning fuch an enterprize in other parts.

A fire broke out on Tuefday !aft in one of the medicine thefts belonging to a Surgeon's Mate on board the MALTA, at St. Helen's. The conflagra tion was fpreading in a rapid and alarming man ner towards the magazine, when notice being given to Captain Burris, its further ravages were happily prevented by his calm and collated pre- tence of mind and effedive orders upon the occa fion. The alarm and confufion which were M e . ing the crew were fuels as induced many to attempt quitting the fhip ; but fuch way the qiirited con duet of Captain Barris, that the whole were loon reamed to their former Rate of tranquillity, by finding IR danger wai removed by the judici ous ord:ts Captainflzaris had given tur the purpofe. --~
