AN TIENT GLOGRXPHT zIND NATURAL
• HISTORr.

The queftion fo long agitated, refpeEling the
temperature of the Sources of the Scamanther, or
Kierk-Ghios, is at length decided. By letters
from Conllantinople we learn that two Englids
travellers, Meffrs. CLARKE and Cat►rs, of jqfes-
College, Cambridge, vifited thofc foil: ces on the
ill of March. The peatents raiding on the fof
related the fame flay that prevailed in -the time
of HOMER; namely, that one of the Springs, dur-
ing winter, was very hot, and the other cold. As
the only winter theTorks had this year, took place
p-ecifely at the time of this visit, it was a fair op-
portunity toeitimate the temperatiirenf the fpringc.
For this put pofe they died the Thermometer of
Celcius, and the refult proved that they are both
Hot Springs.
The fiat olffervath n was made on the evening
of the 4th of March, at fimfet. The heat of the
atmofpliere was then ft; degrees above freezing,
according to the leak the Thermometer before
mentioned. Placed in the Hot Spring, the tm-r--
cury role in two minutes to i6I. It was then taken
to what they call the Cold Spring, which ii.ires
from many mouths out of a rock of pudding (tone,
and thence takes the name of Kierk Glans, or
Forty ryes.—Here the fame effea took place. the
mercury riling to 16i • tire fiirface of the rocks
whence the water iffued,;rnd the ss••:ter itfell being
fenfibly warm to the hand. Afterwards obferva-
thins were made in all the other mouths of the
fame fpaing, and with the fame refult. The fame
obfervations were renewed at midnight, at fun-
rife, and at midday; whence it appeared thatthe
fources of this river are in no degree affected by
any change in the temperature of the atmolphere.
The mercury always role in the water to and
if the tube was damn far into the apertures from
whence the water iffued, before it became expofcd
to the atmofphete, the mercury role as high as
' degrees, a difference of tl of a degree taking piace
in the water before and after its exit.

Thofe Travellers afterwards accompanied the
Simois to its fource. It Ares all at once from a
perpendicular rock on the wefiern fide of Mount
Ida, at the bade of Gargarus. The temper.vute
of the water at its fource, is only tie degrees of
Celcius above freezing. Clore to the fource of the
Simois, is a warm fprrng which falls into the river,
and in which the heat is exaElly thc fame as in the

The official details of the attempt upon the
enemy's flotilla at Boulogne appeared in the Ga-
zette of la': night. Our Readers know already
that it proved difaftrous to many of our brave tars ;
but every Briton will rejoice that their failure arofe
neither from want of courage nor difcipline, but
from the previous confcioufnefs on the part of the
enemy of their own inferiority in both, which made
them provide means of defence that would have
required a body of blackfmiths inftead of tailors
to overcome.

One point is decided. An enemy who, in his
own ports, has no other fafety for tis velfels hut
chain:, mu ft provide fomething more formidable
than fuch craft as he has afl'embled at Boulogne,
before he dare to Chew himielf near our Chores !
We believe, that, notwithflanding this rnifcar-
riage, another attack will fpccdily be made by
Lord NELSON in the fame quarter, but as tlicy
have converted their boafled naval armament into
a landfidure, he will, it is probable, chiefly em-
ploy bombs, for it would be vain to endeavour to
bring away a woodet? pier!
We may afk, however, one queflion : How
cattle we to he fo refpating the ene-
my's preparations ? We pay fo well for fecret Cer-
vices, that better intelligence might have been
looked for !

Monday morning, foon after breakfafl, their
MAJESTIES, with the ufual company of Nobility,

the Hon. Captain PAGET, who provided au ele-
gant entertainment for his Royal vifitors.
His Excellency the Count de WoaoNzow had
an audience of the KING on the Bth intl. in which
he delivered his credentials as Ambaffador Extra-
ordinary and Plenipotentiary from his IMPERIAL
MaJESTY of all the RufGas.

Whatever thofe who are apt to be difcouraged
by every trifling failure may be difpofed to fay of

logne, that illuftrious Hero has loft nothing of his
well-earned glory and renown. Under the direc-
tion of this elterprifing officer, our gallant tars,
fpurning at the empty 'gafconades of the enemy,
burl the Britifh thunder on their email, and dare
them to come forth. The French, however, think it
prudent to keep their vefels chained to the fhore:

ATTACK AT BOULOGNE
Copy of a Letter from Lord Vifcount NaLsolc, K. B. Vice-
Admiral of the Red, &c. to EVAN NE Pe AN, Lfq. dated on
hoard the MEDUSA, off Boulogne, Auguft t 6, Am.

Sts—Having judged it proper to attempt bring-
ing off the enemy's flotilla, moored in the front of
Boulogne, I direeled the attack to be made by four
divifions of boats for boarding, under the com-
mando( Captains SOMFRYILLE, COTGRAVE, JONES,
and PARK ER ; and a divifion of howitzer boats un-
der Captain Coon. The boats put off from the Mz-
DIJSA at half-pall eleven o'clock 'aft night in the
belt poffible order, and before one o'clock this
morning the firing began, and I had, from the
judgment of the officers, and the zeal and gal.
lantry of every man, the molt perfeet confidence
of complete fuccefs, but the darknefs of the night,
with the tide and half tide, feparated the divifions,
and from all not arriving at the fame happy mo-
ment with Capt. PARKER, is to be attributed the
failure of fuccefs ; but I beg to be perfeetly under-
flood that not the (mallet} blame attaches itfeif to
any perfon ; for although the divifions did not ar-
rive together, yet each (except the 4th divifion,
which could not be lot up before day) made a
ftaccefsful attack on that part of the enemy they
fell in with, and aetually took poffefflon of many
brigs and flats, and cut their cables, but many of
them being aground, and the moment of the bat-
tle's ceafing on board them, the veffels were filled
with vollies upon vollies of mufketry, the enemy
being perfeelly regardlefs of their own men, who
mutt have !Uttered equally with us, it was there-
fore impoffible to remain on board even to burn
them : but allow me to fay, who have feen much
fervice this war, that more detet mined perfevering
courage I never witneffed, and that nothing but
the impoffibility of being fuccefsful, from the caufes
I have mentioned, could have prevented me from
having to congratulate their Lordfhips; but al-
though in value the lots of filch gallant and good
men is incalculable, yet, in point of numbers, it
has fallen Abort of my expeetations. I muff alfo
beg leave to Hate, that greater zeal and ardent
defire to diffinguifh themfelves by an attack on
the enemy was never (hewn than by all the Cap-
tains, Officers, and crews of all the different de-
fcriptions of veffels under my command. The
Commanders of the Hunter and Greyhound Re-
venue cutters, went in their boats in the molt
handfome and gallant manner to the attack.—
Amonga the many brave men wounded, I have
1 with the deepeft regret to place the name of my
gallant good friend and able affiftant, Captain
EDWARD T. P ; alfo my Flag-Lieutenant,
FREDERIC LANOFORD, who has ferved with me
many years ; they were both wounded in at-
tempting to board the French Commodore. To
Captain Goal, of the MEDUSA, I feel the highell
obligations ; and when their Lordfhips look at the
lots of the MzDus& on this occafion, they will
agree with me, that the honour of my flag, and the
caufe of their King and Country, could never
have been placed' in more gallant hands. Capt•
tsoroan, of the LEYDEN, with Captain GORF,
very handfomely volunteered their cervices to ferve
under a Mailer and Commander ; but I did not
think it fair to the latter, and I only mention it to
mark the zeal of thole officers. From the nature
of the attack only a few prifoners were made ; a
lieutenant, eight feamen, and eight foldiers, are
all they brought off. Herewith I fend the rcportt
of the feveral Commanders of Divifions, and a
return of Hied and wounded.

I have the honour to be, &c.

mentioned place; and finding that I was not likely
to reach it in the order prefcribed, I gave direc-
tions for the boats to call each other off. By ,fo
doing, I was enabled to get to the enemy's flotilla
a little before the dawn of day, and in the bell or-
der poffible attacked, dole to the Pier Head, a
brig, which, after a (harp conteft, I carried. Pre-
vious to In doing, her cables were cut; but I was
prevented from towing her out by her being le-
' cured with a chain, and in confequence of a very
heavy fire of mufquetry and grape fhot that was
directed at ns from the fhnre, three luggers, and
another brig within half piflul fhot; and not teeing
the leaft profpea of being able to get her off, 1
was obligated to abandon her, and pulls out of the
Bay, as it was then completely day-light.

on its outlet, promifed every fuccefs.
Agreeable to your Lordfhip's inftrations, I pro-
ceeded with the Second Divifion of the Boats un-
der my direaion (the half of which were under
the diretlion of Lieutenant WILLIAMS, Senior of
the MEDUSA) to attack the part of the enemy's
flotilla appointed for me, and at half pail twelve
had the good fortune to find myfelf clofe to them,
when I ordered Lieutenant WILLIAMS, with his
fubdivifion, to pufh on to attack the veffels to the
Northward of me, while I, with the others, run
alongfide a large brig off the Mole Head, wear-
ing the Commodore's pendant. It is at this mo-
ment I feel myfelf at a lots for words to do juffice
to the officers and crew of the MEDUSA who were
in the boat with me, and to Lieutenant LAPlnvolo,
the officers and crew of the fame (hip, who nobly
feconded us in the barge, until all her crew were
killed or wounded; and to the Honourable Mr.
CATHCART, who commanded the MEDUSA'S cut-
ter, and fuflained the attack with the greateft in-
trepidity, until the defperate fituation I was left
in obliged me to call him to the al:Mance of this
(offerers in my boat.

The boats were no fooner alongfide than we at-
tempted to board ; but a ver y firong netting traced
up to her lower yards, baffled all our endeavours,
and an inllantaneous difcharge of her guns and
fmall arms, from about zoo foldiers on her gun-
wale, knocked myfelf, Mr. KIRBY, the mailer of
the MEDUSA, and Mr. GORE, a midfhipman, with
two thirds of the crew, upon our backs into the
boat, all either killed or wounded defperately, the
barge and cutter being on the outride, !fleeted off
with the tide, but the flat boat in which I was
hung alongfide, and, as there was not an officer
or man left to govern her, muff have fallen into
the hands of the enemy, had not Mr. Cavitcarr
taken her in tow, and carried her off.

Mr. WILLIAMS led his fubdivition up to the
enemy with the molt intrepid gallantry, took one
lugger, and attacked a brig, while his crews, I
am concerned to fay, fuffered equally with our-
(elves, nearly the whole of his boat's crew were
killed or wounded; Lieutenant PELLET, who com-
mansied the MEDUSA'S launch, and the Honouri-
ble Mr. MAITLAND, midfhipman, were feverely
wounded ; and Mr. WILLIAM Beisrow, mailer's
mate, in the MEDUSA'S cutter, under Lieutenant
STEWART, Was killed.

I now feel it my duty to drum your Lordfhip,
that nothing could furpafs the zeal, courage, and
readinefs of every defcription of officer and man
under my command ; and lam lorry that my
words fall (port of their merits, though we could
not accompli(h the objefl we were ordered to.

command, affembled on board his Majefty's fhip
YOP K, agreeable to your Lordfhip's direCtions, and
at eleven P. M. by fignal from the Mouse, pro.
(ceded, without lots of time, to attack the enemy's
flotilla, off Boulogne, as direfted by your Lord-
flip; and as I thought it moft advifable to en-
deavour to reduce the largefi veffel firll, loft no
time in making tilt attack ; but in confequence of
my leading the divifion, and the enemy opening
a heavy fire from feveral batteries, thought it ad,
virAle to give the enemy as little time as poffiblc
cut the tow-rope, and did not wait for the other
ha ,ts, fn that it was fomc little time before the
I I.:av) boats could get up ; received fo many thots

in a finking (late, and as it was not pollible to (top
in many 'hot holes, was obliged, with the men,
to take to another boat, and have the to
acquaint your Lorifhip, that I received portico-
a lar fupport from the boats of his Majefly's flap
YORK, which foon came up with the ref of tin:
divi!ion I had the honour to command; but find-
ing no prolix } of fuccefe, and the number of mc.:
killed and wounded in the different boats, and tit:
confiant fire from the (bore of grape and
arms, thought it for the good of his Majefty's
:vice to withdraw the boats between two and ti..
in the morning, as we could not board 11,1:,
though every effort was made.

DISCOVERY, off Boulogne, Auguft r 6.

My Lotter—l beg leave to make my report to
your Lordihip of the four howitzer boats that I had
the honour to command, in the attack of the ene-
my laft night.
Having led in to fupport Captain PARKER'S di-
vifion, keeping between his lines until the enemy
opened their fire on him, we keeping on towards
the pier until I was aground in the headmoft boat,
then opened our fire, and threw about eight (hells
into it; but, from the arength of the tide coming
out of the harbour, was not able to keep our Ration
off the pier head, but continued our fire on the
camp, until the onamy's fire had totally flackened,
and Captain PARKER'S divifion had paired without
me. I beg leave to mention to your Lord(hip,
that I was ably fupported by the other boats.—
Captain BLOOMS and Lieutenant BEAM, of the
Royal Artillery, did every thing in their power to
annoy the enemy. The other Officers
,of Artil-
lery were detached in the other four howitier boats.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM 014 BOARD THE EX-
PLOSION ROME, OFF BOULOGNE, DATED AUGUST
17, 1801.
" On Friday night about eight o'clock, the Cap•
tain came on board from the Admiral's (hip, and
ordered an officer and 23 men to go on board the
MEDUSA, by day light next morning, as *Admiral
NELSON Was determined to dearoy all the armed
veffels in the harbour of Boulogne.
" The boats from different Blips affeMbled on

..v.7 to retet Lbw

board the MiDUSA, confining of 60, divided
into four divifions_ each, confining of 15 boats,
commanded by a,Mafter and Commander, and a
Lieutenant in each boat. At it o'clock P. M. the
boats were all ready, at a quarter paft we flatted,
and at one o'clock in the morning we began the at-
tack. We were the fecond boat alongfide one of the
enemy's gun-brigs, but we could not board her :
they were too well prePared for us. We had four
men badly wounded on the firft onfet, and feveral
{hot-holes through the boat.

We had three boats funk, and ours was obliged
to take in the wounded and crew of one of them.
Dreadful has been the (laughter, without doing
any thing. The enemy's boats were all moored
with chains, within pillol fbot of the (hore, and the
beach covered with foldiers. At four o'clock yef-
terday morning, I got on board the MEDUSA : the
firft thing I faw when I got up the fide, was the
deck full of killed and wounded. We have at leall
so men killed, and upwards of too dangerouily
wounded. We are going to bordbard the town ad
loon as the veffels are collefted."
