IN Tiii. ROAD OF QOILUNNA, illitT. 3. .
" I hairs the honour to acquaint yqur F. xcellence of my
arrival in this Road yesterday with the Dugay Trouin. I
parted from Cape Francois on the night between the 24th
and 25th of July, and being at three leagues N. E. from Pl-
colet, I perceived two vessels of the Line cannonading each
other. Line of them I perceived to be the Dugay Trouin,
Who had sailed from .the Cape the evening before. I imine-
diately bore down upon them, and my manoeuvres induced
the Enemy's Ship to take Hight. I then sailed in company
with the Dummy Trottin for France. Yeray we perceived
a Ship with three decks tc windward anus, and two other
'vessels a little farther all'--we were then abotzt six leagues
t.S,I . of eve Ortegal. The Enemy bore down upon its
with all" theirsails set. I deterinined, as well as the Uugay
Trouin, to endeavour to make Ferrol, but we very seen saw
five other Ships of the Line, who were cluicavollring to Lilt
recur etele. Ar tiut o'clock being near. Cape Prior, and
the Dligay cretin) being within gun-shot of .111 e, the head.-
ttiost Ship of the Enemy began to fire upon me within pistol-
shot; I returned a volley and still continued endeavouring
to reach the Port. We engrieetl from eleven o'clock till halt
past one, at which time I reached the Bay,' the Enemy then
gave me one broadside and discontinued the action. I Can-
not gills too niuch praise to my crew for their determined
and courageous conduet. La Guerriere had only 6 men lau-
d and is wounded; .ainong the lattercismv First Lieutenant,
Augustus Lirit, whose. leg was broke. 1.-Will enter more at

Eleven flat-bottom boats have been launched a

in all parts of the' Republic the naval constructions
are carried on with the greatest industry. A great
number of gun-boats , will speedily be ready for
'launching, •and forthwith fitted out to participate
in the operations against England.
The. Staff, and the tat Battalion of the t7th
Demi.brigade at French Infantry, have just arrived
.here from the Garrison of liergen.o,-Zoom.
We hear from Zell that numerous bodies of Re.

their route from France, to different parts of Hano-
ver, in order to be incorporated with, and to fill
up.the different Demi-brigades which compose the

HANovEit, SEPT. 6.—General MORTIER, it is
Said, cactus fOrthwith to creel:. work'i on the dif.
ferent points,of the 'Elbe and the Weser; and the
Hanoverians., it' is added, have been enjoined 'to
afford .every possible assiit,ance to the French-En.
gioeers. The States have made representations on
these heads', but it is apprehended that the English
will attempt a descent on this quarter.
General Mott.rt RR has dtmanded of the ASsem.
bly of the States that they should provide for the
naaintetianee of 40,000 men, and for the pay
of
the Hanoverian army. The States have since then
deliberated on the demand of the General, and on
the. means 'of procuring the necessary sums. This
'morning they transmitted their ultimatum to the
French General. It, is said, that they have de.
creed a new, loan of 500,000 rix dollars.
The legion raising in the country ie almost com-
plete they have renounced the project of complet-

enumeration are added the number of individuals
who have fled the Country, the aggregate of the

FREDERICKSTADT, ON THE gIDERI SIPT•.3.•

The English not having yet appeared to block up
the passage of Dithatarren, a Whaler, belonging- to
silitona, bound to Town/igen, attempted to reach this
port by that channel, but falling in with an English
Vessel, he was captured : they put four English
'hands on board, after taking out is of the crew,'
and the prize was ordered to steer fur England:—
but one very cloudy night, when a violent storm
was expeded, the four Englishmen requested the
Captain, who had been left on board to 'Ake charge
of the Vessel. The latter taking advantage of the
opportunity, steered the Vessel to this port, where
he conununicated the affair to the Magistrates..
Last Sunday one of the English Crutzers appear-
ed off the Eider, in order to demand the surrender
of the vessel and crew, without effed ; and in con_
sequence the Captain entered the Port, in order to
make a formal demand'upon the subjed.
Our President ;declined complying with the de.
mind of the English Officer, alledging, the affair
ought to be decided by His Majesty. On receiving
this answer, an English Vessel with ;o Soldiers on
board was sent from Tonn;mgea, and these were put
on board the 'Whaler ; the next day this force was
augmented. A second English 'Voisel came to
anchor in our port : but, after the proceedings
which hall been adopted relative to. the Whaler,
their departure is hourly looked for : the Troops
have since withdrawn-to Tonningra.
