Letter from an officer belonging to the Mtbusa.'
frigate, Captain GOR E, Rationed off Boulogne,
dated Monday Lift iv-A-Ad This morning, at half af-
ter three o'clock, all hands were called up, as the
enemy was in motion. Their gun boats and a
n'imber of fmall craft formed an extenfive line,
when the fignal orattack seas made, and a lugger
and cutter under our command went in, and not-
withllanding a heavy fire from the batteries, cona-
rletely fucceodod in breaking the enemy's line.—
l'he batteries along the French coa&are numw
tous, and well provided with artillery. We anal.
oufly expeet to be (bon joined by Tome of oat
brigs and bomb ketches, when a vigorous attempt
will be made to bombard the town. The damage I
done by the lugger and cutter has not yet been af-
ccruined. We can diflinttly fee the colours flying
in the enemy's encampment near Boulogne.'

for the defence of- the outer road, or harbour....-
Lail evening I counted a fchooner and twenty dat
heats, calculated to carry about futy.nten each.
(provided they fat quiet) and a gun in the bow.
" This morning we perceived the signals that
the boats from Calais were out; and all the foul
craft got under way for the porpore of interiamll4l
and preventing their junetion with the reef& at
Boulogne.- After a great deal of firing, both *M.
the (bore and our gnu-reffels, the French anchored
where I taw the flat boats laft evening. Ido not
believe that one fhot took effea from either fides
as the water is fo (hallow as to render it impotfibh
to prevent their (mall craft from moving cI
