Mod of our brigs lay broad side to the enemy’s coafl, and kept up a heavy firing within piilol flrot. Thecon full on on iioard the enemy’s flatilla was extreme. They were less anxious to re turn our fee than make their escape. \\ hat execution done against us was chiefly, as we have a'ready said, by the shore batteries and artillery—the {laugh ter on the part of the enemy mult have (>• to prodigious, fo i rlie court from Ca lais to Boulogne was covered with troops. Besides the brigs and fchuyts which were lurk, two schooners and one brig were driven on fin>re the rocks near Cape Grifner, and one schooner aad one brig on the rocks off St. Johns. Lieut.
