TOULON, AUGUST
.14.—0 n the 7th inst. the English aqua-
' dron which cruises before this port, to the number of fifteen
Nail of the line, four of which are three-deckers, three of 80,
and eight of 74 suns; with several frigatt:s and corvettes, an-
eliored about five p. M. in the Bay of Hieres, out of the reach
of the batteries, leaving under sail only one ship of the line and
some frigates to the S. of Cape Sidle. On the Bth this squadron
stisturbing the navigation of sqme ships which were on the
Coast, Vice-Admiral Fmerlau set sail at day-light with 12 sail
•of the line and two frigates. Notwithstanding a stroug breeze
from lie North-west, he made an offing of eight league., driv-
ing away the enemy's chips that were under sail, and marcee-
wed the whole day in presence of the EogSish squadron, a few
ships only of which sailed to watch him, During these mantru-
vres the vassets that were on the coast continued their voyage
and proceeded to their destinatiOP.
• 0,1 the 9th and 10th, there was nothing remarkable. On the
11 the English sqtradron, which hitherto had been at anchor
without order, anchored in three columns.
Ou'the 12th, it fired several salutes, which we presume to
have been in celebration of the anniversary of the birth of the
Prince of Wales. On that day, its squadron of observation
• having approached the Bay of Toulon, 'Vice-Admiral Enteriiu
got under way with the ships B nice, Ajax, Breslau, Ulm, and
Danube, and two frigates, and chased the enemy's ships, which
stoad to leeward to communicate with the rest of the :quatiron.
The Frenchalivision did not return till after having colic, ted the
merchantmen on the coast.
Yesterday we heard, about 6 A. M. several discharges of ar-
tillery in the Bay of Hyeres ; it was the English sqradron get-
ting under way, several ships having neared the battery des
Mcdes, were fired upon, and returned the fire. The cannon-
ade was very brisk for some minutes between that battery and
three English ships cf the line, two of ..vhieh were three-deck-
ers. We hat) two nun slightly wounded ; but the enemy were
eager to sheer off. On hearing this cannonade, the Viee-Ad-
rniral Enteriau embarked on board the Maananime, which was
at the mauth of the harbour, in order to he able more estilyito
reconnoitre the movements of the enemy, and he was followed
by twelve sail of the line and three ft igates.
The English squadron resumed its anchorage, only leaving
some ship= of the line ender sail, which his Majesty's squadron
forced to keep a good eels. It•remained the who e day at sea
executing divers manativres, and did nut return into port till
night.
It is a magnificent sight for the inhabitants to see these squa-
drons, which for six days have been watching each other—the
activity of his Majesty's squadron presents a most imposing
spectacle. 'I he enemy appear to wish, by their sending out
boats, to take soundings; but RearaAdrhiral L'lriermite has sent
several light vessels to the Isles to drive away those which may
attempt approaching them.
