The Vessels of the Flushing Flotilla which had

BY Letters from Admiral CORNWALLIS'S Fleet i
we learn, that sixty-five of the Crew of the Mag.
nificent, of 74. guns, Capt. Ji:Ry is, lost on the
21th ult. on a sunken rock off Brest, are missing,
and supposed to he drowned. Captain JERI/ ts,
with the in-shore Squadron, had stood close in to
Brest, with the view of cutting out a Store-ship
and some Armed Vessels lying in Camaret Bay, and
a number of Boats were detached from his Squadron
upon this service, hut the wind unfortunately
shifted, and the Magnificent and the other Ships
were under the necessite. of working out imTe.
diately, in doing which she struck upon the sunken
rock, and very soon disappeared. The Crew were
saved by the Ships near her, except about 70, nia,,te
prisoners on a small Island. Of the Boats detachAd
upon the Expedition, fifteen are missing, and ita.
opinion on board the Fleet was, that they had 10c.%
obliged by the wind to run into Brest
The number of men in them could not be less than
160 or rBO. The intelligence .of this misfortune
did not reach the Grand Fleet until the Ist instant.

From our Fleet endeavouring, with a press of sail,
to keep close in with Brest during the whole of the
prevalence of the easterly winds, the general opi-
nion was, that the Admiral expeCled the French
would attempt to come out. The crews of loin
Ships were lieal(liy, and in good spirits.

• His NLijesty's Ship Boadicea was stationed off
Rochefort, to watch die more... Tents of the Ships in
that Port. For several nights she had lain too in a
particular spot, bulfrom a sudden .shct of wind, on
the night of the 14th ultimo, she obliged to
