Divas, Auc. 16.—This day about noon the at-:
Inorphere being remarkably clear, we could perceive
with the caked eye clouds of fmoke arifing from the
'French coati new Boulogne. On looking with
sieges we could &cony a French lugger and 4 gen-
boit creeping along the Chore, as if from Calais, on
their way to join the Boulogne fquedron, and two
of our gun-brigs in parfait, endeavooring to cut
&ins off ; but the French vegeta kept fo weß in finite
'under the proteAion of the batteries, that our Chips
could .Clot apprOach. them. The French batteries
kept up a tremendous fire along the Ihore for fermi
miles, the fmoke attending in perpendicular 'colthims
from each battery. With good glages the hot could
be perceived falling in'die fee at hate &Rance ikon
of our gua-brigs. . The filing and the fmoke have
chafed, and the French vials have efcaped. Ever
fine the kern about a month ago, which wrecked
feveral gunboats on the Ihore at
.Bottlogne, and
threw their whole arinadaintoconfufion and difmay,
they have ventured out in but fmall ntunbers,' not
more than so at a time. This day about 70 or too
of their yetis are otitlitie the harbour, taking an
airing, and' our fleet, of about so flips of war, h
watching them elofe, out ofreach or the land batteries.
AUGUST a7.....-Yefterday a very fevere engage-
ment took place off 'Boulogne. The firing 'Was dif •

sterol report one of our cutters was funk, Conte even

obtain any particulars 4 in the courfe of the evening

thing farther. It blows jolt now very (hong from
