3 RESULT OF THE GUN BOAT

To crafty the public anxiety to learn the
result of the rencontre between the British
squadron off New London and commodore
Lewis's division of Gun Boats, on Wednes
day afternoon last, the following account is
given. from q gentleman who arrived this
morning in the stage. and who SAW the
whole engagement from short distance
from the combatants.
The British frigate Maidstone and sloop
of war Sylph, lay of Goshen reef, about
8 miles from land. Commodore Lewis, with
his convoy, understood to amount to So sail :.
OF which Is were gun boats and ketches,
were going from Saybrook to New London
within the reef. when a British sloop tender,
armed With IL FOUNDER, came in among
the eet and commenced firing upon some
of the coasters. The FIRE was returned by
captain Howard, of the Junon, who spent
all ms ammunition upon her and proceeded
on. The gun boats which were in the rear,
Coming up, the tender retreated, and the
lire was opened by the frigate and sloop of
war.
The sloop of war being armed with car
ronades only (and as some supposed, hav.
ing received injury from the gun boats) soon
drew OH, out OF the reach OF long shot, and
lett the frigate to maintain the engagement
which was continued by commodore Lew.
IS, until all his convoy were safe in port,
without any damage but two grape shot
which struck New Bedford soop, the Ly.
dia, captain Freeman, and another sloop
grounding few minutes and throwing over
board few barrels of -four before she got
off,
Commodore Lewis brought his division to
anchor in line across the harbour, with
out being pursued by the enemy, and having
received out a single shot in the hull Of one
OF the ketches. The damage done to the
enemy could not be ascertained; but the
shot were seen to strike in every direction
about aud over them. The next morning
the Maidstone was perceived to have her
toretop gallantmast aud fore-yard down and
Jib.5oom rugged in.
On Thursday morning the gun boats got
under way and proceeded in line of battle
towards the euemy again. The frigate and
sloop Of war hauled OFF by their Hedges
mile or so; by which time a ~ appeared
IN sight Coming round Race Point, and com
Lewis returned to the mouth of the harbor.
AT the commencement of the affair there
was wind enough to work the ships and TO
cut of the feet from New London, which
.ney declined, but lay broadsIde to, and fired
~ divisions throughout the action,

ARRIVAL OF THE GUN BOAT
FL OrIi.It

Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clsck, the gun
boat fotiliA, under command OF Com. Lewis,
returned to this port, IRON of New London.
The following is an extract from the Commo.
dore's journal
On Wednesday, May 25th, sailed from Say
brook with 40 sail OF coastins vessels, and
proceeded towards New London. At S p. NJ.
came to action with two OF the enemy's ships
and sloop, before New London. The action
was general, and continu5 until p n. when
on account of dsl kness, the action ceased, dur
ring which the Whole OF the convoy passed the
enemy in safety. The damage done the fiotilla
was trihing. No. 6 hid one Shot between wind
and water, another in her sails, sc. AS soon
as the engagement ceased, the flotila came to
anchor before the harbor OF New London, with
IN gun shot OF the enemy, with view OF re.
new'ns the action in the morning, when We
found that the enemy had collected all his
force, IN number ships and several small YES
SEES, IN consequence OF which great accession
OF force, the project of renewing the action was
abandoned, and signal was made to proceed up
sound, whittier the enemy pursued as far as
Faulkner's Island.

bon on the French throne, the people OF the Uni.
ted States will then have an opportunity OF Sc sias
what it really that constituted the ground for
the charge OF French in qt4ence against the Repub-
leans OF this country: they will sse, hat the Re-
pnblicans OF America had no other affection for

poise to that OF Great Britain they will see, also.
thst that was an honest & a wise wish Aud moreo.
YER, the people OF the United States will perceive
that the leaders OF the federal party have had in
view, by their envy of French Influence, the pros
tration OF France at the feet of England, and the
consequent exposure OF America, aud her republi.
can institutions, to the risk of destruction by the
overwhelming and unbalanced force of the British
monarchy. In case of the re-elevation of Bour-
bon to the throne, the liberties nd the indepen-
denee OF the United States can only be saved by
the talents the energy, and the courage of the De-
mocratio party.
