The following minutes of the attack made;
by the Gun-Boats upon the British irigite,
are furnished by an officer who was in tle
action:
The attack commenced at u minutes be-
fore O'clock, a. M. and csntInued until
10 minutes after 6. Boat. No.. Lieut..

Most of the Boats were struck in the hull
or rigging, but the injury has rot been ass
certaned.
We have in what precedes presented our
readers with hasty sketch of events, as
hey occurred, for the lastthree days. Ma
ny reports have been omitted, some perhaps
hat we're true and int resting 6ut they
anne in rather questionable shape.
IL is certain. however, that so far the enc
my has been completely foiled in an enter
prize of great importance, apd without the
loss OF one man ON our pare or even ore
wounded. The plan of attack appears to
have been formed iudiCi nsly The de;ach-
ment first landed, was no doubi tohave made
a diversion or an attack at the upper end Of
Craney Island, while the great body Of the
force was To have landed directly upon it,
the spirited and well directed fire from the
artillery on the Island, drove back the priD-
cipal force, with apparent great loss. and
N confusion ; the attack from tue minor toTce
- az never made.
