necessarily lost, must, for a Fong time, parallze
every effort whicii, they may attempt to make in
- that quarter. But advantageous as is the destruc-
tion of their Vessels and Naval means, it does not
appear tows be the greatest benefit which we arc
to derive from this bold measure of Lord NELSON.

lhe drat which it must necessarily have on the

.Hinds of the French Seamen, Soldiers, and people in
general, who witnessed the ,A.OiOn, seems still more
important. . 'The Sailors, colleded by yiolence and
with great 'difficulty in. order to .man these Gun-
boats, will'be still leSs inclined toiemivrk on a ser-,
vice of so much 'danger and so little glory, The
Soldiers, though unhappily indeed, accustomed to
more success on their'own element, will' have had
,ocular demonstration of the 'bad fortune which
them when they venture off . dry land ;while
the people of Boulogne, witness to a speaagle which
can-never be, effaced froM their recolle.etion, will
attest to them CountrYthen our- 14"iival Superiority,
arising from the irresistible union of talents in our
Officers, and-of courage in our Seamen.

kept under sail, and performed the duty intrusted to them
with a great deal of skill. •

NOTHINc has yet been officially published re-
speaing the operations of Lord NELSON, but we
have already stared, from private Letters, enough
,to satisfy the curiosity of our• geaders, and ,to
prove to them, that on this occasion, as on all,
othars, his Lordship has shewn himself more than
eqtkal to all that his Country could require at his
hands, Of twenty-six Armed Vessels in Boulope
Roads, ten have been destroyed;'which,, added to
the great injury done by the Bombs to the different
