" We this day difcovered the fmall fquadron
off Hatte ; lb it appears the French veffels of war
have not made their efcapc. We heard fame guns
laft night, as if from Havre, and apprehended that
it was an engagement ; however the canonading
loon fubfided. We have jua been trawling, and
have caught abundance of fi(h, efpecially come
fine turbot, one weighing upwards of 331 b. It is
almoft a phenomenon. A difh of fifh is a grateful
mefs to us, after a thirteen weeks cruife. A the-

efcaped from Havre about a week ago, on a Wed-
nefday evening, when we had at fea moll tremen-
dous thunder and lightning. They ate gone to

EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON
BOARD ♦ EXITISH SHIP OF WAR, OFF CHER-

BOURG, ♦UGUST 8.

There are feventeen fail of gun-brigs and one
bomb-ketch in the Roads, blockaded by the MAID-
STONE, Capt. DONNELLY, and the BLOODHOUND
sun-brig, Lieut. BOGUE. The enemy appear at
fingle anchor, but dare not venture out. The
Wocv Lassa has brought us an account of the
engagement off Boulogne. It is with much regret
we hear, that this thip, which has been uncom-
monly active in the fervice, is about to leave us to
join the fquadron of Lord NELSON, to whom this
country is fo highly indebted for elevating its naval
renown far beyond any former period of glory.—
The courage and capacity of Capt. WIGHT, who
is a flritt difciplinarian, and beloved by a very
able and determined crew, will render the fervices
of the WOLVERINE very acceptable to the immor-
tal HERO of the /sltce, who has penetration to dif-
cover, and generoftty to acknowledge fuperior
merit.

of our (hips can for the prefent attack them:"

which mark kis charaEer, makes daily vifits to the
wounded officers and fcamen, and inquires after
their health in the moll tender manner. His Lord•
(hip has written a letter of thanks to Lord Gsoac s
Caveat:int', Colonel of the Derby regiment, for
the attention paid by him, in ordering his men to
&Mt in removing the wounded from the bOats to
the Naval Hofpital, which fervice they performed
with the utmoll care and attention. The letter
was read on parade at Deal.
The Norwich Military Corps, under Major PAT..
rsioN, were infpeded on Monday morning, when
their martial appearance, and readinefs to fulfil
their engagements, were highly approved.

The Lynn Volunteers have undertaken to per-
form military duty in that place during the inter-
val between the marching eut of the Rutland Mili-
tia on Monday fe'nnight, and the arrival of another

Aprivate letter from Calcutta rays, " A Society
of Miffionaries (Portuguefe) have fent a deputation
to Pekin, which is Paid tohave fucceeded in its ob-

the end that they might not be molefted, or the
Miffionaries fent thither interrupted in the exercife

allowed temples to be ereeted for the public excl.-
