Exrittss, of Paris Pa/err to the 23th i st, from
which the following Extradts will be found most

important
Rear-Adm. Lilco's, with three Ships of the Line)
the Formidable and the hidompabie, of 8o guns, Cap.

ter having ehaced the Enemy'S Ships which were
Cruizing on the Coast of Provsnce, presented them.
selves before Gibraltar at the moment when an Eng.
lislrSquadron of Six Ships of War were arriving
there. On the 4.th inst. Rear-Admiral LtNots had
anchored in the Bay of. A/gesiras, expeaing to be
attacked the next morning. In the night he sent
on shore the General of Brigade DE V FAUX, with
part of the Troops, in order to arm the Batteries
on the shore. On the sth, at eight in the
morning, the cannonade began against the Six
English Ships, who were nclit slow in corring
within musqket-shot of. the French Ships. The
Battle then took place warmly. The two Squa-
drons appeared equally animated %Vith the resoluh
tion to conquer. If the French Squadron had some.
advantage from its position, the English Squadron
was double its force, and had .several Ships Of 90
gunS. The English Ship the ifantibai, 0174 guns,
had already succeeded in placing itself between the
French Squadron and the shore. It was half past
eleven; and the decisive moment Was come. For
two hours the Pormirlablr, on board of which was
Rear Admiral LtNots, made head against three
English Ships. One of the Ships of the English
Squadron, which was ranged opposite tdorteo:the
French Ships, struck its Flag at, three quarters after
eleven. A moment .afterwards, -the Hannibal, ex_
posed to the fire of the BatterieS of three French
Ships, Which fired from two decks, struck its Flag
also. At half-past twelve the English Squadron
cut their 'cables and sailed away. The Hmin;bal
was boarded by the Poi 6cc':, men that
composed the CreW, Soo were killed.

The first English-Ship which had struck its Flag
was set at liberty by a number -of Gunboats and
other Vessels sent out from Gibraltar.

This battle cover's the French Arms with glory,
and shews what they can do. •

Rear-Admiral LtNots was going to Cadiz with
the Hannibal, in order to her being repaired. . •
We await with impatience the accounts of the
loss which each Vessel has sustained.—(lllcniieur.)
Intelligence from Batavia has been received at
the Hague. Every thing was there in the best si.
tuationin the beginning of March. Considerable
sums had reached several persons who had property
in the Colony, on board of Neutral Ships.
All the Garrisons in the Isles of Zealand are to be
reinforced.
