top-masts gone. The Knedrsvant had likewise j
come in. As particular Ships only appear to have
dome in, we hope the greater part of the Fleet
may have weathered
.the dreadful gale of Sunday
without material injury. Much damage was done
in the Harbour of Catwater; but several Ships of
War in Cawsand Bay rode out the storm in petted
safety.

THE Gazette of last night affords an additional
proof, , how inadequate the boasted, French Gun.
boats are to contend even with the smallep de.
scription of our Naval Feree Lieutenant YvuNG,
in a small hired Logger, attacked four of them full
of Troops, and, though they were under the pro.
tedioh of a Battery, drove them on shore, where
two of them were destroyed. •
The Gazette also announces the destruelion of the
Bayounaise French Frigate, of 32 guns and 200
men, in Finisterre. Bay, by Captain WINTHROP,
of the 'hien?. This is probably the lame
,vessel
by which the Ambuscade Frigate was taken last
War, as it is of the same name and force,

The following Explinatory Letter of Lord
11AwKRgi3URY, evidently proves an unremitting
attention to the public safety,. and the 'most liberal
condut to the Neutral Powers :

" As nothing would'be more'contrary to His Majesty's in-
tention, than the imposing unnecessary restraint on the Navi-
firm of Neutral Vessels, I have the Honour of informing you,
in addition irc What I notifo in my Letter of the aid inst.
that the. limitation to Yartrrouth Roaftt and the ,Downr, is,
applicable to no other vessels than ,to those which may
come to our Coast direaly from thu Ports of Hollandt, or of
Coluttries occupied by the Arms of Vrance. . The necessity
which exists for laying down a distinedion ofthis nature, will
of course render Ships of every description liable to such
search or inquiries as may citable the Commanders of His
M.ijesty's Ships of War to ascertain that the regulation now
established 4in no instance evaded ; but this will cause no
detriment whatever to the Trade of 'Neutral Natio;s„ as the
whale of our Coast will continue to be open to all such Yes_
sets as may be,engaged in the fair purpose of trade, and.which
have not become objectionable on the giound above-mentioned.

MY LORD, December 23, 1803.

I beg leave to inform you, in cruizing. in .His
Majesty's Armed Lugger Speculator, under my
Command, and by the diredious of Captain Stewart
to cruize off Dunkirk, the mmning of the 19th
instant, Gravelines then bearing East by South,
distance tour or five miles, I saw four Gun-Boats
oil of Twops, running along chore., which I sup,
posed bound to CalaiS : at ten A. M. I got very
close to theth, and at half past ten I had. the sails.
fadion to drive all tour of them on shore, althotigh
the Enemy opened a fire from six long Faur.
Pounders 'on the Shore; two of the Gun-Boats
must have been,wrecked, as the sea made a break
over them ; the other two got off, as I supposed ; I
am'happy to say they never hulled us.
I am, &c, ROB. YOUNG.
