ful weather on their [mirage, and received fo much

all the flarbaord bulwarks, boarding settings, &e.

The next day a heavy fea frock her on the quarter,
which broached her to the wind, carried away her

deck, and forced the boat over the fern. The Prince
of Wales was ftruck abaft on the 19th, by a tremen-

enemy's force in that quarter
On Saturday we Rood into the Bay within a mile of Bou-

could not afcertain their non,hers ; but I an, given to underhand
that they amount nearly to one thouland, competent, on an ave-
rage, to carry iso men each. The number may appear to you as
incredible, but my obfervation leads MC to think that it is not es-
aggerated.
" The enemy De indefatigable in ftrengthcning their works
about Boulogne; they have built two forts which command the
Bay, one at Portel, mounting twelve pieces of heavy ordnance,
and the other at Bompoint, mounting tight guns of large calibre.
Thefe forts are upwards of a quarter of a mile from the chore,
having been ►uilt at low water mark, and affard a confiderablc
degree of protection to the town : in truth, the whole of this part
of the waft is as ftrong as ingenuity can render it.
" I had likewife an opportunity to remark the numerous en-
campmenU in the vicinage of Boulogne ; they calla of mud huts,
and teem equally calculated for fummer and winter : they appear
ed fufadent for the reception of so.oco men, :he number ftatcd
to be affembled there. I faw leveret bodies of troops, but had no
means to afeertain their aggregate force.

of the blockading lquadron, and Captain Owen, in the Immorta-

The latelbeconnts from India announce a fevers
anion to have been fought on the banks of the Jumna,
between a Orong corps of HoLaait's Cavalry, which
had been feouring the country, and an equal force of
SONDRA'S. The battle lalted nearly two hours, and
terminated in favour of the latter. HOLKAIt'S army
is Rated to have fuffered greatly from a want of pro-
vifions, and that van numSers of his followers had
been carried off by a flux. He expected fome French
Officers by way of Perlia, but the Pollan Monarch,
alarmed at the infurreetions which French emif-
larks had excited at Cabul and other parts of India,
iffued an order for the apprehenfion of all perfona
coming under that denomination, throughout hie
Empire. Several of thefe French Officers were in
confequence taken into cuftody, 'and the paffage of
others, who intended to follow, has been prevented.

tween fever and eight, on the evening of the zzJ of
November, and there being a fmart breeze, the entire
town was in a few hours in a blaze, and foon after re-
duced to a heap of ruins. Sortie i•eople were enab:ed
