newspapers will doubtless TEEN with the particu-
lars of the proceedings on both sides. On the
part OF the English and French, the victory was
complete, indeed not, however, without serious
losses as regards life, and property in the way of
shipping. The English brig of war Dolphin
alone received l07 round shot in her hull and

on the part of the enemy no correct statement has
YET been made public. Report says that upwards
OF SOo men are missing. Certain it is that in
one fort no less than $50 bodies were found, and
in another some $50 or LOO; and what is still
more strange, they were all blacks. To account

fell, killed or wounded, he was Immediately
