FROM THE CENTINEL.
MR.RUSB.fLL,, r
F ROM a candid perusal of'the ’
pamphlet publiffied at Brest, I
and the lecterof Lord Howe, re
lative to the adion thaf took place
between the French and Engliffi;
fleets, it appears evident, that;
the French on the ,aßth May, in
the Br.lt engagement had twenty
fix fail of the ftne,- and that the Eh
glilh had the fame number ; that
in the partial engagement which;
cook place at rhe close of that day
the Revolutionaire, a French Ihip
and the Audacious an Efigliffi (hip.i
- had been damaged and did not
keep company, with their respec
tive fleets; that after this day nothj;
ing material took place between
the fleets; before the ift June ; in
the mean time the French reeved
a reinforcement of three (hips of
upon them as fads for rhe Ta ft two
years.—Falflfoods g/ofs as the Fa
ther of lie?, and palpable as the
progency of Vice and Folly.
From Georgiy to New-Hamp
ffiire, a chain of newspapers have
been eftablffhed, which have stuck
as nothing, In order to deceive the
public, and tp destroy the govern
ment that protects them. Lie has
followed Lie, ih such rapid fuccel
fion, that Truth has milled its ob
ject of refutation, and has been
loft in the multitude of its adver
saries. Every ad of the Gcrteral
Government h?s been vilified and
infuked; and every measure of The
Presidents, been declared the
moll abominable stretch of power.
Strange the mtn of the People’s
choice should hot have done one
good deed I
Let the public but re-peruse
in the hour of calm inquiry, the
extracts from the In (urgent Ga
zettesof Charlefton,S; C. Norfolk,
in Virginia ; Baltimore; Philadel
phia, New-York, and Bofton,and
their little facellites in the interior
places, and they mu ft blulb for
their prostitution of the Freedom
of the Press. In those papers they
will fee one continued tifTue of a-
bufe, the most foul and unmerit
ed ; of afferdons the most Life and
groundless ; and of alarm, the most
absurd and ridiculous. To enu
merate the instances would occupy
were, doubtless, frigates. The
French thcmfelves failed with fif
teen frigates and a (loop of war,a nd
though the French parted with
many of their frigates for convoys,
&c. this was a circurtiftance that
most probably did not happen to
the Britilh; and that they might
reasonably be allowed ten friga.es.
One French frigate who had good
Opportunity tq count the Britilh
(Hips, reported only twenty-four
of the line ; the Cap Jan of anoth
er allured M. Bon Jean, after the
engagement, that they were thiity
four. M. Bon Jean, of his own
i authority v afierts,they were twenty
eight fail of the line. Th6 fa6t
improbably; that the Captain of
the Proserpine included frigates,
and M. Bon Jean might have seen
three frigates apparantly in a line
of battle ; but, where there is such
pofeive difference of accounts a
mong the French, we'.may Credit
the BriiilK especially as they faith
fully reprefemed the force of the
French.
Refpeding.the battle, (hete un
doubtedlv never was one moreob’
ftinately. fought—^nd it does not
detract from the pratfe due to the
French^ to fay, that the Britilh dis
cipline and superior nat'al experi
ence, especially among the officers,
gave the latter the^ vi&ory. . M.
Bort JBaS fays his van gave way,
and when he*vas clear of thefmoke,
they were t^o leagues to leeway!
of his Ihip. Lor4 Howe fays the
French, van were the fir ft to give
way, with this difference, that the
Admiral fed the retreat. ; The
British, disabled as they were*cer
tainly could not retreat to wind
ward, which ficuatibn they main
tained until the close of the day.
That the Englilh did not renew
the engagement that day was by
his own ednfeffion,through inabili
ty ; and fufficient to the day bad been
the evil thereof:
By the returns made into port,
of the two fleers, there can have
been but one ffitp iupk on both
sides; which was the Vengeur ;
this ship viewed from different po
ficions, and in the confufton and
smoke of the Engagement, gave
rife to the numbers fuppofrd to
be funk. The facility of decep
tion on such an otcafipn is proved
from the Tourville, reporting that
'' \
which he is certainly equally en
titled so; his own forte was 2 0
fail of ‘the line. I fay he is equally
entitled to belief, because ims not
poftible that a commander Ihould
deceive in the number of his own
fleet 1 thousands are ready and able
to contradict him if he Ihould at
tempt it, and rhe most abandoned
man would have more regard for
his reputation than to expose him
fclf by so public a lie ; if it is ne
cefiary to make a difference be
tweeri the forces, the numbers of
theenfemy will always be increased;
but without intentional misrepre
sentation, an enemy’s force may be
easily augmented input belief, be
yond the reality. M. Bon Jean
fays the Britilh had thirty-fix fail of
vtfftls, when the firftday they dis-
the line, but two others that had
been engaged feparafed \ making
on the Ift 2 6 fail of the line. —
So much as relates co the French
is exad with the report of their
Representative Bon Jean, and of
course must be true. Allowing
the fame iftdulgenc'eto Lord Howe,
covered them. Os these many
