'fit a damage sustained by the Enemy in the At.
tack of Tuesday night upon their flotilla at Bou.
logne is not exactly known. Many of their Vet.
ash have been destroyed, and particularly the small
Craft, which came out to their assistance. The Brigs,
Prams, Loggers, Schooners, &c. wets so complete.
ly surprized, and thrown into such a state of
confusion by the explosion of our Fire-ships in
the midst of their line, that they were utterly
incapable of making any resistance, but, cutting
their cables, hurried in as close under their Batteries
as the depth of water would allow them. In the
meats time our Cruizers closed in upon them, and
annoyed them with grape and other shot for several
hours.

The destrudion of men on board the Flotilla
must have been very considerable; but other ad.
vantages will result from this attempt with Ex.
.ploding Vessels that are incalculable. We now
know the imprat`.ticability of the Enemy's' fisselll.
bling without their harbours any numerous force
to send over at once ; and to start directly from
their harbours is utterly impossible. If we can
attack and completely disperse iso Sail of their
best and largest kind, and cause them to skulk
into their Harbours, .without the loss of a single
mate, and by the buroing of a few old Hulks of
little value, we have. little to apprehend from

We have received a Letter from our CotlCSpond-

"'While you are busy in England, speculating upon
the 'destination of our Expeditions and Arm talents

sending them sometimes to Sicily and Sardinia,
and sometime, to Ireland or Egypt ; the general
opinion in our political circles is, filar of the three

fugal, and BOURNONVII4,S quitted Spain, every
thing Was settled betwr,•ri these three Powers, with,
regard to naval and military succours, pecuniary
contributions, or territorial cecuparions. Before
BONAPARTE quitted Aix.l4.Chapelle he held a
Council of Military Officers, and dispatched orders
to, Boulogne, Brest, and Toulon, to hasten, as is
supposed, the execution of his meditated Plan of In.
vasion. Letters recently received from the West.
ern and Southern Coasts, do not mention any ex.
traordinary adivity in these several •Porte; nor
contain any account of the sailing of any Fleet or
Flotilla. That every preparation, however, is made
for the purpose, is evident, as even the heavy
I.ry from Besaeeln, Metz,. and Luxembourg, has
been sent with extraordinary expedition to the
Camps upon the Coast ; and, within these ten days,
upwards of 1 630 ammunition waggons and caissons
have passed through this Capital for the same des.
titration. Yesterday Genctal Mu RAT, the Governor
• of Paris, published, by heat of drum, an order to
all officers belonging to the Regiments of the Army

2 (the 26th instant), under pain of being punished
as Deserters. Even Officers who are Members of
the Legislative Body, and of the Tribunate, are not
excepted from the operation of this Order. Many
here are weak enough to believe that tiONAPAKTE
relies more upon his secret Adherents in England,
than upon his Army and Armada from prance; al.
though every public and private information from
England stews the fallacy of such an expdtatiun."
