DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE
Os Int,ftine WAR! !
Messrs. Editors,
No special intelligence from Europe
has occurred lately. The verbal ac
counts and extrafts cf letters, which are
nowin circulation, are chiefly of the im
port that France is making progress ; and
that her affairs are growing better. A
little time will bring the Evidence of
these reports ; and for which we must beg
leave to wait. 4
Via Baltimore, we have accounts ex
tracted from a French p^per, whch fay,
thet the French frigate I'Uanie, mount
ing 44 .gun:, commanded by the breve
Capt. Tartu, about the beginning of No
vember, being on a cruise off Cape-Finif
tere, fell in with a Spanish frigate of the
fame force, and a sloop of war of 32 guns,
after engaging from morning till night,
with only some intervals, which both
frigates took torepair their rigging, the
Sparifh frigate and sloop attempted to
run-away, in which attempt the fl top was
taken and carried into R^chfort. Three
days after, the Uraine had a mol bloody
engagement with the Thames of 40 guns,
which lasted 3 hours ; the Thames had
ico men killed and wounded, and Capt.
Tartu having been unfortunately killed,
prevented the Thames from being taken
m that day, but the day following she
was chafed and taken by the Carmagnole
of 4° guns, without any engagement,
having been so entirely disabled by the
Urline.
