LONDON, A'CGLIST 6, iBol,

OUR Deal Letter enables us to congratulate our
Readers on the success which has attended the Ex-
pedition under ,ord NE LSON, and t 9 confirm the
3_
reports which 'were yesterday evening in 'circu-
lation. His Lordship, we. learn by the arrival of
the Hound Cutter, had succeeded in destroying Six,
and driving- on shore several of the Enemy's Gun-
ves'seis, without any injury,
,e,xcepting to the
rigging of one of our ships. AiMagazine is spP-
posed to have been, blown 'up in the Town, ,front
_ the quantity of smoke. We await the details with
itilptticnce. The British Fleet- is said to have left
Boulogne, to make an attack upon another part of
the Coat.

Tn Hamburgb Mail due yesterday arrived this
morning, and we have also received Paris Papers
to -the 3d instant. The' former brings us nothing
of.. iniportance. By the latter we receive the
French Official Accounts both of the ,Capture of
the Hannibal in detail, and of, the Battle of
the I zth ult: in which we were so successful.—
Of these we have given auch as our limits will
allow us. They will be found to agree in
stance with our own accounts, with the usual
colouring, The St. Antoine i 3 -only stared to be
missing, and the fats of the Formidable are Magni-
fied as some sct,.off for the loss of that Slip and the
two Spani:.ll first-rates.—The Captain. of the In-
domptable, Moiccpussu, is dead of his Wounds.
A Letter from Citizen DAURE, gives an account
of Egypt. He sailed from Alexandria on the zoth of
jnne. According to his accoinit,,-a Sloop from GADT
Tki E AU Tat r. had entered Alexandria on the 9th of June,
and his Squadron was then at anchor twenty-five
leagues from that Pont, General HUTCHINSON was
at Terrance, and die CAP STAN PACHA Was support-
ing him With the Flotilla, on the Nile, above that
place _The,GRANDAtiziER had been, according
to this man's account, completely defeated by
General BELL tAR D, and driven 'to Salahich, and
nothing remained but to defeat the English. Such,
at least, is the story of Citizen DAURE, who is
and;d enough to admit, that the French Convoy of
boo Camels and soo Men, have been taken by the
English between Alkam and Terranie, and that the
Garrisons of Buda: and Damietta have bcta muck
• prisoners.

THE Cannonading at Boulogne continued all
.day
yesterday without intermission, till nine o'clock,
in the evening; when 'it-ceased.
The Wound Revenue,cutter arrived in the Downs
last night from the .Squadron, which she left at
eleven o_ 'clock in the" morning, and brought bis.:
_patches from Lord NELSON for Government.
•, •
This Aresselbrings an account of his Lordship
.having succeeded in destroying Six. Gun-vessels,
and driven several on shore : the Enemy kept up a
heavy fire from • Twenty-six Gun-boats, but only
;one of our Ships sustained any injury, whieh was
merely in her.' rigging.—The Frigates Could not
Iget within gun-shot of the Enemy, so that only

the Bomb ships were engaged. -
Great crowds of people were on the Cliffs to
_ob-
serve the. ACtiOn, and at high water the' Fleet ap
peared to get nearer in shore, and the Bombard-
ment increased with redoubled fury ; soon after, an
immense Volume of smoke issued from,the_ Town,
which appeared like the blowing up °la Magazine,
as Several shells were distinaly sseen in the air, and
supposed to reach the: shore:
The Brilliant .Frigate has sailed to the Coast of
France, and His" Majesty's Express Boat to the
Westward.

DOVER, Au G.'s.

THE weathei‘ .hks been so thick and haty the
whole of to,day, tha,t. neither the French .Coast nor
Lord NELS.ON'S Fleet have been diqingnishable.—

The firing, v.hich ceased last night about • five
o'clock, corrunenced: again, with great briskness at
eight, and"was heard for two or three hourS. It ap- -
pears from the report of some Gentlemen who went_
_out to the• Fleet 'yesterday, and returned very early
morning, that none of the Men ,of War have
been-engaged in the Attack. The sole of je& has
been the destroying. the Gun-boats, which the shells
thrown from the Bombs have partly efiaed,
,from
8 to to-being reported to have been sunk. No injury
was intended to the ToWn of Boulogne; and no shells
have been thrown into it.- The firing from the
French Batteries- was warmly kept up, but did no
injurr„. :From some accident on board one of the
an Oil ccr of Artillery and one of the Fri-
vates were slightly wounded, but not a person in the
Fleet was killed or wounded by the Enemy. It

is said the-Fleet-have left Boulogne Bay, to make
an Attack upon another part of the French Coast.
A French Flag of Truce from Calais was ;net at
sea a few miles from hence ibis afternoon, by a
Boat sent out for the purpose, and dispatched back
to France, after taking out her Letters and Paper's..
