ATTACK ON' BOULOGNE. ne011•111, SUNDAY SIISMINC. It is reported, that considerable damage was done at Boulogne by the rockets thrown in there, as mentioned in a-former letter. This damage was received prineipally by the town ; the ships from which the rockets were discharged being too close to the shore for the elevation at which it was in tended that thew Instruments of destruaion should be fired off. - The Consemmace was. they passed over the &tills, and fell 'Ma thi town.

A few of them were hue year thrown at Dover, by way of experiment, from Archliffe Fort to the Western Heights. and immediately set on fire a stubble field, in which they chanced to tar, near the celebrated cliff of Shakspcare. The fuss with which they are provided continues to burn for seven or eight minutes after they are shot of, when some of the rockets explode, and sia in the sew capacity of shells. They are capable, we understand, of Wag thrown with almost as much accuracy and precision as a shell, or carcase, from a mortar, and with equal effed. These rockets are the invention of Mr. Congreve. List night. a boat was sent in here, by one of His Majesty's cruisers, laden with GOO half ankers of spirits. Sbe is one of six .that ,ailed together, of which one was taken at Deal, one to the north ward, one was carried into Dunkirk, and one into Newport, by a French privateer, and one is missing; supposed to be lost.
