Tut intelligence which we communicated to the
Public On Monday of the Sailing of the Brest Fleet,
operated very differently upon different descriptions
of people. Those not immediately engaged in com.
coerce were rejoiced at a circumstance which afford.
ed an opportunity of adding another to the lung list
of our Naval Victories; but to commercial men it was
a source of the most serious alarm. At no period, we
believe, of the history of this Country was so
large a portions of its trade on the sea at one time,
and so near to one spot ; the China Fleet, the Lee.
ward Island .Fleet, the Jamaica Fleet, the New.
foundland Fleet, and the Lisbon Fleet, were all
hourly expeaed in the Channel. Of the value of
these Fleets it is impossible to form an accurate
estimate, but we think Twenty Millions would
not be an exaggerated calculation, Qn the very
day almost that they were expelled in the Mouth
of the Channel, intelligence was received of a large
squadron haying escaped from Brest ; which our
Readers perfettly well know is close to the en.
trance of the British Channel. The alarm which
this intelligence excited among the Merchants and
Underwriters, it is not very difficult to conceive.
Yesterday, however, all their apprehensions were
r.moved, and their must sanguine hopes realized:
the safe arrival of all the Fleets (except that from
Jamaica, of which no apprehension is now enter.
tained) was announced, and GAN/HIM/241'i &pia.
dron was discovered to be quietly at anchor at Ca.
/Karel il' y, where it is now blocked up.
The (A which wc some time ago stated, of the
Tpegrprnt hetw fen the China Fleet and Admiral
lastut,'s Squadronohough it was doubted

some

Or opt Cotempouries at the time, is now fully con.
firmed..
The China Fleet sailed from Canton, ilthout
Convoy, on the sth February, pnd on the tstli felt
in with the Squadron under Admiral LINOIS, off
Pulo Auro, consisting of the Marengo of 8o guns,
two Frigates, and two Sloops of War. The China.
men continued their course after coming in sight of
Lixots, but the Royal-George, being the rear ship,
was severely attacked. The Marengo came along.
side, and a severe at-lion ensued, which lasted about
ao minutes, when Litrots, not being able to bring
his Frigites to assist him, was obliged to sheer oj'
and steer for Batavia,—The loss on board the Royal
George was only one man killed and another wound.
ed. The damage done to her hull, we fear, was con.
siderable, as the shot from the Marengo were prin.
cipally 4z•pounders. The loss on the side of the
Enemy Was not ascertained. '

The condua of the Commanders and Crews on
this occasion cannot be too highly commended,
whilst it adds another proof of our naval superiority.
The Camelen,'Ganges, and !Parley, were the Ships
that assisted the Royal George, and obliged LI NO IS
to bear away, leaving a valuable Fleet of Indiamen,
heavily laden, completely vid.)rious.

The China Ships afterwards continued their voy.
age, and fell in with the 'AMiou and Sceptre Men of
War, in the Straits of Malacca, the beginning of
March. These Ships had been sent to convoy the
Fleet, and saw them safe to St. Helena, where they
arrived ell well on the 12th of June, finding the
Carmarthen lying there from Bencoolen. They
sailed from St. Helen's on the 18th June, under
convoy of His Majesty's Ship Plantagenet, and we
have no doubt are, by this time, sate at anchor in
the Downs.

Ma Gazette of last night confirms the account
which we gave, exclusively, on Monday, of the
Bombardment of Havre, by the Squadron under the
Command of Capt. OLIVER. Although it is im.
possible to ascertain, with any degree of exadness,
the damage which the Enemy has sustained, yet,
from the nearness of our Bornb.vessels to the Picr
and Town, and the quantity of shells they threw,
there is every reason to suppose that it must have
been very considerable. Our Squadron sustained
no injury.
The Gazette also contains an account of the de.
strudion of a French Frigate and a Corvette, on the
French Coast, by His Majesty's Frigate L44/t,
Capt. Wour s.

A Report was circulated some days ago, stating,
that a Treaty of Alliance, offensive and defensive,
between Great Britain, Burlier, and Austria, had been
signed. We mentioned at the time that there was
no foundation for the Report, at least that it was
premature. Since then, it has been re-asserted, anti
some of the Public Papers have gone so far as to
mention the day on which the Treaty was signed.—
We can assure our Readers that ho such Trent), has
jet been signed.

A Telegraphic Dispatch was yesterday received
at the Mintralty trona Portsmouth, stating, that
both the Last and West India Fleets had passed by
the Lie of Wig!4 ; and at half past three, the Pur.

SIR, July 19, 1804.

I have the pleasure to inform you His Majesty's
Ship the Aigle (which I had placed in.shore to watch
the Enemy's motions) fell in with two French Na.
tional Corvettes, which Captain Wolfe drove on
shore near Bourdeaux, and burnt, having first used
every means without efna to get them afloat. The
Aigle found only twenty.six French Officers and
men left on board these Corvettes when they took
possession of them ; the rest had made their escape
on shore.

The names of these Corvettes are La Charante
and La Joic ; the first a Ship of twenty guns, and one
hundred and four men, and the other a Brig, pierced
for fourteen guns, but had only eight mounted,
add seventy.five men. They had on board the
ordnance and stores complete for a Corvette just
launched at Bayonne, to which place they were car.
rying them.

- I liere enclose Capt. Wolfe•s Letter to me of his
proceedings in the destroying of these Vessels, and
also a List of the Prisoners he has on board : these
I have directed to be sent into Port by the first op.

SIR, jay 16, 1804.
After passing the Squadron on the 9th instant,
when at the anchorage No. 5, was drove to the
S.W. by the gale ; on the loth we lost sight of the
Hawke. On the lath, when standing in for Cor.
douan, in bearing up for the rendezvous, saw a
large Brig and Ship, with all Sail.SCI, steering to the
southward. I supitose!ri them to be part of the
Squadron from Rochefort. At five P. M. closed
with them (they never altering their course from
our first seeing them), prepared, and expelling, from
their mincenv res ant signals, a close atlion, they
having shortened sail (with men at their quarters)
when within proper distance ; but, to our great
surprise, after firing their starboard broadside at us,
they ran the ships on the strand, within a stone's
cast. of each other, and dire fly took to the boats,
which instantly swamped on touching the beach,
abut ten leagues to the south of Cordouan, and
some of them were drowned. The wind being at
N. E. and about two points off the land, I had great
hopes of getting one or both of them afloat again,
and anchored the Aigle about a mile from the
beach ; hut, after a night and part of the next day,
in fruitless efforts, from the very great surf set in
by the late western gale, I was obliged to destroy
them by fire, which was efnelually done by Mr.
Furlonger, master, and Mr. Steel, the gunner, as
scarcely any part was perceptible when the Aigle
made sail.

The Prisoners on hoard the Aigle are John San.
son, Lieutenant de Vaisseau, the officers, and eight
soldiers and sailors of the French National Ship, the
Charante, of four hundred and twenty tons, twenty
guns, six.pounders, four swivels, and one hundred
and four men.

Benjamin Godobert, Lieutenant tie Vaisseau, his
officers, and nine soldiers and sailors of the French
National Brig La joie, two hundred and fifty tons,
pierced for fourteen, but only-eight twelve-pounders
mounted, two swivels, and seventy-five men. La
joie had sixteen six.pnunders, a quantity of Arms,
powder, shot, and other ordnance stores in the hold.
They were from Rochefort, but had sailed in the
morning from the Gironde, stealing along shore for
Blonne, and intended to return from thence with
stores for the French Marine at Rochefort, which I
am proud in having prevented, and trust in meet.
ing your approhation. None of the shot struck us,
nor did ours materially injure them, as only their
masts and sails were a little torn.
Had they come alongside, as expeaed, the Brig
having shifted her guns for the purpose, I am ca.
tain the crew of the Aigle would have acquitted
themselves as Englishmen do on those occasions.
I have the Honour to be, &c.

MY LORD,
Afelpment, iff Havre, /big, 2, t 84.
The wind having changed yesterday to the N.
E. I determined to make another attack on the nu.
merous vessels in Havre Pier, as well as those
which were moored outside, amounting to twenty
eight brigs, and as many loggers, and stood in
wish the squadron, at per margin *. At half past
,even, p. az. she bombs were all placed off the
Pier-head., when they began a well diretted fire,
which was kept up with great spirit fur ab.mt an
* Melpomene, Ariadne, Trusty, Maenaaime, Merlin, and
I iivotirite ; Heela, Meteor, Explosion, And Zebra bombs ;
King l;cor4e, Rope, Nancy, Countess, of Flgin, and Locust
cutters.

hour and a half. The town was very soon observed
to be on fire in two places ; and seven brigs, which
were on the outside of the Pier, found it necessary
to move; one lost her mainmist. As the wind
came more off the land, and a strong ebb tide set.
ting out, I ordered the bombs to discontinue firing.
At half past nine we anchored' with the squadron
about five miles from the light houses. the ex.•
plosion had fired away all her shells, and the Zebra
most of her powder, I had them supplied from the
Meteor ; and at half past five this
morning, got
under weigh, and stood in with the squadron again.
Before eight the bombs took up their position near
the Pier.heads, and kept up a constant fire for nest
three hours with shells and carcases ;
so many shells
burst on arid about the piers, that the EnetnY's
fire was observed latterly to slacken consideralqt
and it was evident they were in time greatest coolii.
sion ; some brigs and loggers, however, got under
weigh, and came out to endeavour to annoy the
bombs ; but all the other ships and vessels of the
squadron were so well placed as to give chase to
them immediately ; and it was only
,by cutting
away their boats, which were astern, aid retreat-
ing very speedily into shoal water, that they escaP,;
ed, but not before they had run the gauntlet of all
the ships and cutters, and were very closely engaged
t
fur a considerable time by the Merlin, Favourite'
Locust, gun.brig, and Hope cutter; anti oil tits;
occasion I feel Particularly indebted to the exertions
of Captains Brenton anti Foote, and Lieutenants
Lake and Dobbin, whose vessels were very often
during the ;idiot' in very shoal water, with a idly
ing tide ; indeed nothing but the bad sailingoll";
Merlin prevented Captain Brenton from cutting'
the sternmost brig.
The Locust lost her main-topmast, but I have not
heard of any other loss. The conduti of CV'
tains Sykes, James, Paul, and Be.auchain,n
manding the bombs on bath these occasions, ,taa'
highly meritorious ; and although their ships Wt'
frequently struck, it gives me great pleavire,tris
that no lives have been lost. What damage Ills
be done to the Enemy by near five hundred se".•
and carcases thrown into the town and basun la,"
evening, and this morning, it is impossible to et'.
culate; but I may without vanity say. that if the
exertions of the Enemy's flotilla be not much grate'
on our shore, than on their own, we have little to
dread from them.
I cannot conclude without expressing My. e).
cations to every Officer and man employed in ehis
squadron. I am, &c.
