This article relates to the Flotilla of thirty:.' five Gun_boats un.;..:r the command of, Captain MEYNE, who sailed from this port on the tlth of ,August last. The English flattered themselves,, if not with being able to interrupt their navigation, at least to block them up far a great length of . time in Dunkirk Road. Their Division, stationed. a league from Gravelines, kept Advice-boats on the watch before our port during the whole! of . the day (the 18th). It was not until eight in the: evening, that seeing no movement in 'onr Flotilla, ,the.y re sumed their station, And had left Capt. MEYNE every possible latitude in the execution of.the trust reposed- in 'him. He had, -inspired me with the greatest confidence, and het , tvai a man who iustified it.—As soon "as the- Enemy-cliSappeared, le gave orders to hiS Fibtilla to hots itself in readiness to sail at the first signal. At-nine in the. evening, every thing being.F.trang-,ed,.the signal was. given,. and all our Gun-boats pased . in the.greatest order before Gravelines, between the Ingloh and the land,. and continued with the greatest security their route to Calais, where they orri yeti on..the ing:day (the 19th) at- six in the mottling.'' " This is the truth, the Er.glish have therefore roneausly insinuated that' they kept. the-road so strictly that they prevented our Ships from passing along 'the 'shore.
