1 HE ENEMY.—NORWICH, MEMBER 1.

A very heavy and distinct firiniwas heard here nn
Sunday morning, which continued with very little
intermission during the day. It proceeded tram the
enemy's ships off New London, and we have received
ihe following particulars from a Gentlemen who was
present

s, A sloop of fifty or sixty tons, from New York,
bound to Newport, with a valuable assorted .cargo,
proceeded up nearly with New London,lig:)t, when
she was discovered by the enemy, who instantly dis-
p itched boats to cut her off from New London liar-
hour, in which they succeeded, while several otl-trs
intercepted her escape up Sound, and left her no other
alternative but to run on shore, which she did just
after sun-rise, about two miles westward of the light-
houses near the salt-works. The crew escaped and
soon alarmed the country. The enemy set her on
fire ; but a considerable number of inhabitants open-
ing a fire of musketry on the boats, they pulled
and commenced firing from their carronact:s. Mean-
ti.ne a detachment of fifty men, with two pieces of
artillery, arrived from Fort Trumbull', and seconded
the efforts of the inhabitants, to drive away the boats
and extinguish the fire, but the Statira,.Capt. St ick-
pole, and Loup Cervier, (late United States ship
Wasp), hauled in ih-ry close to the beach, and opened
their tire, which bathed all further exertions, and the
sloop was at length destroyed.
" Many thirty-two, twenty-four, and eighteen-
pound shot struck the beach, a number of which
were dug out by the spectators : and it is remark.
Able, th it although almost every ball reached the
shore (and it is thought that at least 4 or 500 were
discharged), not a man was hurt.
44 Toe report of heavy guns has seldom, we be-
lieve, reached so great s distance as those on Sun-
day. They were heard, we are told, at Providence,
a distance of more than fifty miles, and at many
other places.

,‘ Several small vessels, we understand, were cut
out of Guildford, by the enemy's boats, on Wednes-
day night. Two .4. the enemy's vesieis, a ship and
bit, attempted lastWeduesday to cut out of Killing-
worth a small vessel (the Experiment, of Sag Har-
bour), which they had chaced in there. Tne inhabi-
tants opposed them, and the sloop was saved. Fllrv-
four shots were fired from the ships, and eleven from
the shore. They were in sight nn the `'2sth."

PURIFICATION o Tilt VIRGIN Marr.—Holiday at tie Bank.

A Heligoland elan arrived this morning. It brings
no intelligence of any military movements, but it is
nevertheless the harbinger of joy to every well regu-
lated mind. The inclemency of the 4e4soq has not
frozen up the generous feelings of the inhabitants of
Heligoland, and they contribute theit I)34es V Ole
