As we mentioned in our Paper of Saturday, the London Gazette of that day contained the .official account given by Lord NE LSON, of his operations before Bdul,gne, on the 4th instant, which agrees in substance with the accounts that have already appeared in this Paper. It will be seen from his Lordship's Letter.that, of 24, and not, as has been stated, zIS • Vessels . , which were stationed by the Enemy before Boulogne, five were sunk, and six others driven on shore ;--fi've of which were after wards, at high water, hauled with difficulty into the Mole. Lord NE LEON modestly says, - " the whole,qftbis 0 - air is of no further consequence than to .chew the, Enemy that they cannot with impunity come outside their Ports," Though we viewed the sUbjea in nearly the same light on Saturday, we then observed, that the moral effed of his Lordship's Operations appeared of much greater - importance than the physical effeet, however brilliant the ac tion. To . , see, - that scarcely do the French make any threatening demonstration, when they draw down on them the irresistible weight of our f i orce ; to see so - large .a. part of the Armament which .they had bestowed so math time and pains in colleaing, destroyed in a few:hours ; to find that the Conqueror 'of Aboukir is alWays ready. to repair, wherever the most trifling service of his Country calls him: these considerations must grievously thwart BoNA -P'ARTE in his designs of Invasion, if he entertains any such, and must, at all events cool the zeal of his Sailors and Soldiers, and render them averse to attempt this enterprize, or. even to continue the shew of it. - LORD NE LSON was vesterclay at anchor in the Me dusa off Harwich. His Lordship has, it appears, had a conference with the Commanding Officers of the Essex and Suffolk Sea Fencibles, preparatory to his making further attempts on the Enemy. Government bas had the gratification of receiving accounts from Ireland, that Twenty-two Regiments of Militia have, to a man 'volunteered their services to Great Britain, at.d that the remainder are expelled immediately to follow this example. We congratu late the Public on this conclusive proof of good will and cordiality subsisting between the two Coun tries, and on this generous return, so seasonably made, for the services rendered to Ireland three years ago by, our Militia. It is indeed an auspi cious beginning of the happy consequences likely to result -from the Union of the two Countries. We last night received Paris Papers to the 7th inst. They bring an account of the Ratific4tion by the Chief Consul of a Convention between France and America, - by which all the differences between the two Countries' are .settled, and •thisfamily red, for . so it is denominated in the Mozritair, made up. The Paris Papers inform us of no other Tads ; 'but they furnish us with the Fiench.versions of the operations of our Navy. Of that gallant achieve ment, the cutting, out of La Chevrette, they give a lamentable account, and appear to be very desir ous of vindicating the courage of their seamen at the expence of their charader for vigilance. Three fourths of the Crew were asleep, and the other fourth that remained on deck, unarmed—and this at a moment when an Enemy was in view, who, they should have known by experience, were - not deficient in activity. The French statement of the capture, of this ship is; however, valuable in one respea, as it may serve to prove to all, those who will take the trouble to refer to our Paper of the zgth Lilt'. how little reliance can ever be placed on Frena accounts. ' The Spaniards tell a deplorable story of the loss of their two Ships, and we feel concern at hearing that the Crews, nearly the whole of which perished, were more numerous than had been supposed, amounting to 5200 each, The miserable Allies of France have every day fresh reason to regret their cormedion with those who are neither willing nor able to prpted than in their own cause. An article from Amsterdam speaks of consider.. able preparations trade in Holland to meet an ex, peed attack front the F.,n & lio;. We And nothing new respelling Egypt, to which .our attention is partieutarly- turned,, and to which we may be certain, that 41 the desires and all the efforts, of the Chiclf Consul are clirdled, amii the maritime preparations which he affeds to make agQinst'this country, The Ifaiiiburgh Mail which became due ycster :o4 ~,ha4 not arrived when our Paper was put to P;csP i lk ~74 .4- -. 5 ,t1 tpf K., -', :,...Z•.:"1 .1 , •;•/:-..",, , 'Qt'.((, NAPA L „'11: -. ---:!

Copy of a Letter from Lord ri'scount Nelson, K. B. llice-Admiral off the Blue, &c. to Evan Nepean, Eq. dated on bard His Majesty's Ship Medusa, odT Boulogne, the 4th instant. SIR, The Enemy's Vessels, Brigs, and Flats, (Lugger rigged), and a Schooner, Twenty-four in number, were this morning, at daylight, anchored in a line in front of the Town of Boulogne ; the wind being favourable for the bombs to att, I made the signal 'for them to weigh, and to throw Shells at the Vessel's, hut as little as possible to annoy. the Town ; the Captains placed their Ships in the best possible Po sit:on, and in a few hours three of the Flats and a Brig were sunk ; and in the course of the morning six were on shore, evidently much damaged ; at six in' the Evening, being high water, five of the ves sels which had been aground hauled with difficulty into the Mole ; -the others remained under water. I. believe the whole of the vesse l s w ou ld h ave gone inside the pier but for want of water. What Da mage the Enemy have sustained, beyond what we see, is impossible to tell. The 1•11ole of this affair is of no further consequence than to 'chew the Enemy they cannot, with impunity, come outside their Ports. The Officers of. Artillery threw the shells with great skill, and I am sorry to say that Captain Fyers, of the Royal Artillery, is slightly wounded in the thigh by the bursting of an Enemy's shell, and two seamen are also wounded. A flat Gun Vessel is this moment sunk. • I am, &c. &c•. &c. NELSON and BRONTE. • Admiralty Ofce, August 8, ISoi. Copy of a Letter from Captain Mudge, Comarander of His Majesty's Ship La Constance, to Evan Are_ lean, Esq. dated at Sea, the 28th July, iBOl. , SIR, I beg you to acquaint_my Lords Commissioners of,the Admiralty, that at ten yesterday morning, Cape ,Ortegal South four miles, a large Brig and Lugger hove round the Point, tracing the shore within a quarter of a mile, running down before the wind. Relying on the Spanish Charts I had in my possession, I run so close to the Firgu Rocks, as to oblige them to run through the inner Channel, both receiving the broadside as they past. The Stork, - which was beating up, stood into the Bay, aod by - a well-direEled fire obliged the Brig to run on the rocks directly under_ a high cliff; which was defended by the Militia of the Country, who kept up a constant but ill-direaed fire.. Lieutenant Stu_ part of this Ship, with the several boats of the s an.ina, ru teed in anri hove 2Zcr Off without loss. She 'proved to he , the El Cantara Privateer, mounting eighteen Eighteen Pounders, and four Sixes, with Ito men ; had left Corunna .the Night before (with the Lugger of 10 guns which I also captured), and had taken nothing. I am, &c. &C. &c. ZACHARY MUDGE. HARWICH, Au G . 9. YEsTriznAi• evening Lord NELSON arrived in the Medusa Frigate, Capt.
