The accounts from India given in the Gazette of
Saturday, refit& much credit on the Britith arms.—
They cannot be read, however, without a confider-
able degree of emotion. What havoc, ruin, and
(laughter ! Such dear bought victories are little better
than defeats. Eventually they may be attended with
the mod ferious confequences, as they only tend more
and more to excite a fpirit of hatred againd Euro
peans among the Natives, and to teach the latter the
art of war. We are told there viCtories were gained
by a handful of men over a multitude—the fame was
the cafe with CHARLES XII. of Sweden, when at war
with Ruffia ; but what was the confequence ? " Let
Cusittas beat my men for a time," faid PETER the
GREAT, " he wain the end infallibly teach them to
beat his own!"

off the harbour, from Portfmouth, bound to New-
foundland : alfo failed the INDUSTRY armed veal,

, ing his Majelly's brig Busy, of 18 guns, with about
55 fail from this port, for the Well Indies, and were
joined off the harbour by about 14 fail from Cork ;
they proceeded down Channel with a fine wind at
North. The LADY ARABELLA packet will fail on
Sunday next with the mails of the 7th infant, for the
Leeward Wands. The Lifbon packet, JERK INs. from
London, with a cargo valued at zo,oool. for this port,
is taken by a French privateer, and carried into Bou-
logne : it is much feared, that the brig Ballet Pus-
H A PS, from London for this port, faid to be valued at
30,0001. has alfo (hared the fame fate ; (he failed from

Dom, APRIL 20.-1 informed you in my lad,
that a divifion of the enemy's puny flotilla had been
got of the harbours of Boulogne, Vermeheuil, and
Ambleteufe, and had moored along the coati, under
the dole proteaion of its numerous batteries. 1 now
have the pleafure of announcing to you, that this
divifion (confiding of 156 fai1,3301 which were brigs)
has been difperfed and dircomfited by the late gales
from N. E. and by the well-timed annoyance of part
of our blockading fquadron.
On Monday afternoon it blew very hard, and fe-
veral of the enemy's veffels were obferved to be drift.
ing, and apparently in much confufion,endeavouring
to regain their ports, when the Eurivaeus, LEDA,
LARS, HARPY, and VOLCANO immediately g.)t under
weigh with admirable alacrity, Rood as dole to them
as the depth of water would permit, and gave them
many well•direled fhot to their great annoyance.—
The fhallownefs of the water prevented our (hips
getting fo near as to cut any of them off ; hut they
loon began to feud for their weflern ports, and the
next morning not a Frenchman was to be teen with-
out their harbours. Many of them are probably in
Etaples, Dieppe and Havre. The batteries poured
forth vollies of (hell and fhot in their defence, but the

atmofphere was fo hazy, and the (hips were running
fo faft through the water, they fullained no material
injury. One fhot I underhand hulled the EURY•LUS
betwixt wind and water. The preparations of the
enemy for his grand effort againft us do not appear
to be complete, nor do I believe he ever meant to at.
tempt it before the fummer feafon, although the
country has been kept in fuch a conhant Rate of
anxiety, alarm and expellation, during the winter.

enced fome damage in a gale of wind. The three

that on the 2 111, the day before his arrival at Tene•
riffe, a French (tip of force arrived in that port,

idle rumour, yet the frequency of there arrefis gave
us reafon to tuppofe that Government were in poi--

were led into this opinion (torn an order having been
given laft week by the Princes of the Houfe of Boys-

the knifes where they refidc, and to be very cautious
in their communications with thole whom they may
