OFF BOULOGNE, JULY 2+.—Yesterday evening
the weather being clear, and the sun shining upon the
French Coast, we had a very good view of the Ene.
my, and have clearly ascertained, that their loss in
the gale of Friday and Saturday last has been very
considerable., ,We distinctly counted nine wrecks on
the rocks between Porte! and Boulogne, and from
the boldness of site Coast and the tremendous Sea
when they went ashore, it is scarcely possible
that any of the people on' board, five hundred in
number at least, could have been saved—the en-
tire Coast between Boulogne and Porte! was co.
vered with waggons and soldiers, clearing away the
wrecks, and an immensity of small boats were engaged
in searching the bottom for different articles. In
the space of so yards, close tinder Porte!, there are
a Gun.brig and four Loggers completely dashed to
pieces. The few Brigs that succeeded in getting
into Boulogne, seem to be much damaged in their
masts and rigging ; indeed from the amazing surf,
when getting in, it is impossible it could be other.
wise. Altogether the loss of, the Enemy on Satur.
day morning, has been the most severe they have
met with since the commencement of the War, and
it is highly probable that the soldiers will not, be so
sanguine fur the Expedition after having had such
convincing proofs of the danger attending it, and
having seen out ships ,tide out gales of wind in per.
fed aatety, when they have invariably suffered, both
in wen and vessels.

of the Lively Frigate, launched at Woolwich on
Tuesday last, which is to be prepared for service

On the 23(1 inst. the Stag Rev Anne Cutter, o
Rye, commanded by Mr. JOHN BRTTI, the Marc,
fell in with, oil Beachy Head, two large French
Loggers in pursuit of a collier, and gave chace to
them, hut they escaped ; however, following their
diredinn, he again got sight of them, just as they
had taken possession of an English B:ig ; he soon
came up with them, and after a few broadsides from
the Cutter, the Loggers separated in different dim.
Lions, leaving the Ves4el they had captured ; he pur.
sued the leemost of the two, which he drove on shore
at Dieppe. He then tacked and stood for the Eng.
lish shore, in the direction where he thought the
other Lugger arid Brig might he, and soon after dis.
covered the Logger, having the Brig in tow, who
perceiving the Cutter coming up, took his men out
of the prize, and made sail for the French shore, to
which he was chased by the' Cutter, until he got
under the protedion of the Batteries of Treport....
The Cutter then rejoined her recapture, when she
found her to be an Irish trader, with a cargo of pro.
visions, worth 12,0001. The Master of the Brig,
who was left on board by the Frenchmen, says, that
they informed him (and which agrees with the ob-
servations of those on board the Cutter), that one
of the Loggers had 16 guns, and too men, and the
other to guns, and 70 men. The force of the
Cutter was t a guns, arid 3o men.
