By the latter we receive the French Official Accounts both of the ,Capture of the Hannibal in detail, and of, the Battle of the I zth ult: in which we were so successful. — Of these we have given auch as our limits will allow us. They will be found to agree in stance with our own accounts, with the usual colouring, The St. Antoine i 3 -only stared to be missing, and the fats of the Formidable are Magni fied as some sct,.off for the loss of that Slip and the two Spani:.ll first-rates.—The Captain. of the In domptable, Moiccpussu, is dead of his Wounds.

It ap- - pears from the report of some Gentlemen who went_ _out to the• Fleet 'yesterday, and returned very early morning, that none of the Men , of War have been-engaged in the Attack. The sole of je& has been the destroying . the Gun-boats, which the shells thrown from the Bombs have partly efiaed, ,from 8 to to - being reported to have been sunk. No injury was intended to the ToWn of Boulogne; and no shells have been thrown into it. - The firing from the French Batteries - was warmly kept up, but did no injurr„. :From some accident on board one of the an Oil ccr of Artillery and one of the Fri vates were slightly wounded, but not a person in the Fleet was killed or wounded by the Enemy.
