r: " rrvsv - . - - - i t 4; Ours are the plans of fair delightfulpeace, Unwarp'd by. pat ty rage, to live like brother. Monday, November 5, 1804. No. 264; A ' ' V "Nortli-Carolina State Gazette, Vol. VI. i BETWEEN THE fREkCH and ENGLISH. Jhe fouowirg is the report of the Engage ment of the 8th and 9th Fructidor, be tween a part of the Flotilla stationed be fore Boulogne, and the English Squadron. Taken from the Paris Argus, cfSept.3. paris, 10th fructidor Year XII. On the 8th Fructidor, the line of the Imperial flotilla was composed of 92 boats of the first rate, 4 f of the second, 6 small bomketches, and 36 pinnaces. The enemy was anchored at the distance of a league and a half, up on a line parallel to ours; his force consisted of 2 phips of the line, 2 44 gun frigates, 7 three-masted schoo ners, 2, luggers, and 1 cutter. The wind blew from N. N. E. pret-f ty fresh : the weather was very fine, j and the sea but little boisterous,! when at 2 P. M. one of the enemies three-masted schooners manoeuvred to observe our line ; she kept at a distance of a very long cannonshot, .and nevertheless tired several broad sides at qur vessels. The Admiral made a signal to the first division of gun-boats, comman ded by Capt. le Key, to weigh an chor and sail out of the line, to repel this schooner ; this order was im mediately executed, and no sooner was this division under sail, than he schooner stood away for her squa dron. It was nigh flood, and the ebb was about to set in. The division recei ved orders to laveer, to gain the wind ; which it did with sufficient success, to be in a short time upwards of a league to windward of the right of our line. : However,, the enemy had formed a detachment consisting of one 44 run Cr'iG-ate, one schooner of 24, three brigs ol 18, and one cutter of 1 G guns J to attack our division and prevent its rallying. At 3 o'clock, the French division, upon a signal given lo it, instead f remaining on the defensive, stood di rectly away to meet the enemy ; the action commenced within hall cannon-shot, and soon became general. At this moment, his Majesty the Emperor, embarked in a boat with the Admiral, to direct nearer the movements of the flotilla. His Ma jesty was attended by the Ministers of Wai; and of the Marine. The enemy at hrst sheered off' but soon formed his line again, ad vanced, and again attacked the right of the flotilla", at the distance of iwo thirds of a cannon-shot. This dis tance was soon diminished by the! r,rrlers w hich the Kmneror pave to ' close in with -'the enemy. The Ad miral caused ail the boats to bear down in a close line upon tne enemy. This movement placed the two lines within less than half a cannon-shot distance, and a very brisk fire com menced. This the'enemy supported for two hours witlyjgreat firmness; but on a sudden the English schoo ner hoisted a signal, upon whicn she Was joinedby a brig which towed her out of the line ; the frigate herself tacked about and quitted the fild of battle, and in this manoeuvre she was followed by her division which was entirely disabled, Our boats and several armed pinnaces followed the enemy in his retreat, cannona ding him during the whole of the chase. ... The cutter which made a part of the English line, had not time to join her squadron ; she had been so ill-used by cur fire, that she sunk about three quarters of a league from the anchoring place ot her consorts, in sight of an immense crowd who had flocked" to the coast to witness the action. At this period the ebb being alrea dy very; strong and carrying the flo tilla to leeward, the Admiral Jioisted the signal for the vessels to resume their station in the line. It was then lialf past 6 o'clock and shortly after our vessels anchored in good order in the station alloted to them in the road. A section of pinnaces with Prussian Howitzers, commanded by lieutenant liaison Blanch, had borne down up on the English with our first division i boats, and by the audacity and Mclligtnce of its manoeuvres, it con stantly cannonaded the enemy at a very small distance, during the whole course of the 'action. Another section of the same pin naces, commanded by Lieutenant Lasalle, and which had not been able to sail out of port before three o'clock, succeeded byitsefforts and good ma noeuvring to join the enemy during the action, -and having also closed in with him fought him with advantage. Several vessels of this kind, com manded by young naval officers, ap proached within 200 toises of the English frigate, and. also the other vessels, thus placing themselves in a position to . board them in case the wind had fallen. During the engagement of this day, the batteries of the coast direc ted a very brisk fire upon the enemy whenever he came within reach. Before his return to land, his Ma jesty the Emperor sailed along a part of our line : he asked several questions relative to the events of the action, of those vessels which had been engaged in it ; and after going on board the gun-boat, No. 108, the deck of which had been burst in by a 3,2 -pound ;hot, his ityajesty landed in the port wf Boulogne, and repaired to his head quarters of the Tour d'or drcy where ne passed the night. This engagement, which has cost the enemy one of his vessels with her crew,- without counting the other men- he must have lost, on board the irigate and the other vessels, which were almost all completely disabled leaves us to regret only one man kil led on board the gun-boat, No. 108 ; seven others were wounded, one of whom pretty grievously. As to our vessels, they suffered in their sans and rigging, but not one of them received any considerable damage, because their small height above the water presenting to the enemy but a very little surface, the balls passed over them, or fell beside them with out touching them. - The next day, the 9th, the enemy's squadron proved to have been rein forced during the night by a frigate and several schooners. The wind blew mpderately from S. W. TheAdmiral profited of the re mainder of the enb to get under sail the 3d division of boats of the iiist rate, commanded by Capt. Guingui and, also a section of pinnaces car rying Prussian Howitzers, com manded, by Lieutenant JLasalle. These vessels plied pretty quickly to windward, anu. ranged themselves in line of battle to the W. of the iqrtl'Heurt. The enemy immediately, detach ed two 44 uu irigate and tour strong brigs, vvhicij approached our division, anu tne latter sailing to meet the enemy, the action soon recommen ced. The enemy continually manoeuvred to keep at the distance of cannon shot, and having resumed the tack which joined him to his squadron, dur division received orders to close in with him. In execution of this or der, all the vessels composing it, bore all together right down upon the English, and the action soon be came more lively ; but the entfmy always eluding a decisive engage ment, stood away for his squadron, crowding sail, , and thus left the field of battle to. our vessels. Half an hour after, the Admiral fearing that with the wind that blew, the flood tide would not ; perm it our vessels to resume their;, 'stations in the line, made signal to them frequently to get higher in the wind, T his manoeu vre having brought them sufficiently to windward, each fell into her sta tion according to the orders of the Admiral. ;,- There was only one man wounded and nobody killed in this short en g; tf ment ; some of our vessels sus tained some slight damage in their rigging ; but we may presume that the enemy who, towards the end of the action, fought only in retreating, has been much more ill-used.
