The foliow ing is the substance of this interesting and inspor. tont document. The sentence has not yet been transmitted to us. It appears by the account of the loss of the Tonnerre, given by her Captain, Mr. Clement de la Rtniciere, that whilst endeavouring to avoid our fire.ships, she was run on board of by the French an of war the Ocean, and grounded on the rocks. Repeated exertions were made to save her, but the wind proving unfavourable, the boats being fur a long time absent, and the water no longer kept down by the pumps, one of which had burst, although the masts had been cut away, and the greatest part of her guns and water.emks thrown overboard, she was at length de-erted by hcr crew, after permission to that effect had been granted by a signal of the Admiral, answering their .ignal of distress: The Captain was the last who left the ship. This statement was Tully cor. rnborated by the written minutes of the journal kept by the officers. The account of the loss of the CaLIM: was given by her Captain, Lafon, and his officers jointly. It states, that whilst preparing to engage a British frigate, t h ey were surprised by the ex plosion of a catamaran, anti soon after, being nearly surrioinded with 6re-ships, one of which -their easiness stink, tfiry eat their cedes to avoid the others, and about midnight grounded ; ,but after lightening the vessel, succeeded the next morning to get of with the tide. They wen then attacked by two of our frigates and two bomb-vesels. Notwithstanding their disadvan tageous position, and the paucity of their num bers, the whole crew consisting of only 9.30 men, they returned our fire, when, shoot three o'clock, two other British ships joined in the at tack. At four, convinced of the impossibility of saving the ship, they forsook it, haring only 12 men %sounded and none killed, and r.et it on fire, when they repaired on board the Admiral, who sent them to Ittichefort. Tho loss of the frigate L'lndienne is thus me coueted for in the journal of her Captain, signed by all her Officers. Having placed kis vessel at a short distance from the boom, which protected the Freuch line, she was suddenly covered with fire by two explosions which took place at the boom within the lapse of forty minutes, and dis covered to his view the approach of several brigs and fire.ships, which burst through the boom, and advanced kindling against the fleet. In or der to avoid them, he passed through the French line, and after several astonishing escapes, grimed etl, and waited for the return of the tide. The next day he was astonished at finding, that not a Single French vessel had suffered by the effects of the explosions and fire-ships. That day was spent chiefly in vain efforts to get afloat, and wit nessing the destruction of the Ville d.: Varsorie ' the Calcutta, 4guilon, and T'onnere. Ott the 131 h he was attacked, as well as the Ocean and Regulus, by six British gun.boets, a small frigate and, two casters; but after an action of several hours, that flotilla was obliged to retire. havingthrown the greater number of his guns, almost all his powder, ammunition, and provisions, into the sea, without being able to get completely afloat, he was obliged to send to the Admiral for ammunition and assistance, both of which were not afforded him in an effectual manner.— On the 14th he formed a battery on land, which was served by pat tof his crew. At four o'c!ocl: five British brigs, and a botnh-vessel, attacked the Regulus and Foudroyant, and continued bombarding them until seven in the evening, with. out compelling them to alter their position. On the 15th, he succeeded in getting the frigate per. fectly afloat, and threw almost the whole of his remaining cannon into the sea. In tho flienhig he thought be descried the apprciaching catama rans, and total peeeautioni in consequence. On the 16th the frigate sees driven aground by the wind a second time. Her masts were on the point of failing overboard; site was filling . fisst with water, and,:ber sides began tp - gape, when her Captain called a Coyncil of War, which de termined that "reel hope of *ialiole her being !Ist it was necessary toil:tendon live ; she was set oni fire,. and the crew landed near Fauns, from whence they repaired to Rochefort. ,1 l - ••• • z ~• . . 414 • ....Li " . 4s ;.# • !I I . jp, lb, The Captains of La Vale de Penis And Aged. toe, having been taker prisoners, their statement of the loss of their ships could out be transmitted to the Court Martial. Captain La Caine of the Tourville, one of dug ships that escaped, hiving been accused of lan his ship for several hones, whilst sh e s eas peso sence of the enemy, and the accusation heist foe. roborated by the utioutee of his •wo jeealsai, wai also compelled to give an account of .his conduct ; before the Officers composing the Court Martial.. it appears that when the fiat catamarasis era pluded, the French higate La Pak:, whilst en. deavouring to avoid a lire.ship ran on baud. the Tour:rale ) which thee cot a cable, and was mom ; after threatened by the Revile', to which a Are a vowel had tiled itself. The rearvilk then, ma efairred to avoid the surrounding perili, bit got - end the Captain ordered the gpiepoidee • to be open, in order, ehnold the libip catch. lire, that they might he 4atesediately drepoed ky means of water.pipoe. **hal his apprehensions preyed unfounded. On theittrivel of a pilot, he attempted to gain the mouth of the river s but with little hopes of success. On the 12th, while several British frigates en. gaged the Ville de rarsevie, the Calcutta, and Aged° 1, the l'ourvilie threw her heavy guns anal cannon balls overboard, and sent all her Ines. pericnced and weak sailors and buys on shore, keeping only the stoutest men and marines on board. The pilot, convinced of the impossibility of saving the ship, took French leave, and the Captain, inforused that several fire-ships were coming against the l'estrrilk, and conscious in his grounded position yf his inability to avoid or remove them, ordered the whole crew to land, and was the last who quitted the ship. The wind having undergone a favourable change, and no fire.ships having reached their destination, the 'Captain and crew returned on board, with the same pilot, whom they had found on shore, and who now expressed his belief that the ship could be got a-float on account of the alteration in the wind. Several British bomb-vessels and• other ships approached at that critical Moment, to engage the Oceest and Tuerville ) both of which answernil their fire effectually. The neat night they succeeded in gAting afloat, and sailed . fur the mouth of the river, but through the want of experience of the pilot, were grounded on the other side, near Four's. On the Ifith, they were set afloat by the warning tide, and on C......16th, anchored at the mouth of the river, of the point of Vergerou. llere follows the examination of the Officers of the fleet, which, is lesegth, far mese* ther *Mir took place when the Invoitigation into 1.0441 Gauthier's conduct on the very same occasitm o . • took place. It seems in general in favour of the Captains whose ships were lust ; bet as we are not in possession of the whole, we cannot express a decided opinion. ~r ~ .46•1• IF Jft. One of the best ordered gifts we have heard of, on account of the Jubilee, is, two fat bultoaisa and one hundred gallons of ale, given by the Rev. J.

The parish of Paddington have sheon their loyalty on the Jubilee, by distributing 010111% ty-five fat sheep, 350 quartern loaves, and 700 candles, amongst 340 families ; besides a dwarf.

Tile scarcity of gold and silverihas led to the invention, at Berlin, of a metallic composition, denominated les caldariiine, because it is said to be an imitation of the metal so called by the Ro. mans.—Utensils of this metal, exactly resemble gold at 14 to 13 carats, is neither tarnished by use, nor iiernicious to health, and is sold at the rate of eight grosclien (one shilling) per ounce. The manufactory of Patzig and Code, of Berlin, make great quantities of plate, vases, and utensils of this kind. An officer of the Royal Stannary Militia Ar. tillery has invented an instrument, or tangent scale, with which not only the alignment but the elevation of a battery gun may be taken at one and the sante time ; and it is so conserected as to be applied to the service of battery guns of dd. fercnt lengths and calibres. The practice hitherto has been to lay the gun from the base ring, and afterwards to take the elevation by the quarter sights, but, in some situations, it has been found impracticable to take the elevation by the quarter sights with any degree of certainty.
