FRENCH ANDENGLIS '■ SKA FIGHT. 1*if a French Sergeant. We select the following narrative rela tive tu the death of Lord Nelson, deem ing it ofhiali interest. Gnillimard,rl,iiins the* merit of having sent the fatal bullet into his Lordship’s heart. Adams Rep<- The two nionoeuvered for more than .ill hour , for the purpose of cho"sing their positions, and terminating the preperatiort fora battle, that was henceforth inevitable, rlie Redoubtable-was in the centre, & a little iu front in the French line, which, by the admiral’s last orders, had been formed in a semi-circle. Immediately in front of him was an English three decker, carrying a vice admiral’s flag, *fc consequently com manded bv Lord Nelson. This vessel uccunied in the English fleet the same position which the Redoubtable did in ours. All at once it made signals, which were instantly answered, and advanced with full sail upon us, while the other ves sels followed its example. The intention of its commander was evidently to cut our line by attacking flic Redoubtable, which presented its flank, and discharged its broadside. This was the signal for action. The English vessel returned the fire; and at the same moment, there began along the whole of the two lines a fire of artil lery, which was not to cease, except by the extermination of one of the two squadrons. Already cries of suffering and and death were heard onthe deck of the Redoubtable. By the first discharge, one officer, and more turn thirty sailors am! soldiers, were killed or wounded— This was the fust time I ever had been in action ; and an emotion I had never felt till now made mv heai't bea>' violently. Fear might form an ingredient in the feel ing ; but it was mingled with other senti- "*meats which I could not account for I' was grieved that I was kept in a post where I had nothing else to do bat to fire my gun upon the enemy’s deck. 1 should have desired a more active duty, to be al lowed to go over the ship, and to work one of the cannon. My desire was gratified. All our- tupmr.it had been kill- e-l, when sailors and four soldiers, o! whom I was one, wete ordered to occupy their posts in the tops, while we wete go ing aloft, the b ills and grapeshot shower ed among us, struck the masts and yards, knocked large splinters fiom them, and cut the rigging to pieces. One of my companions was wounded beside me, and fell from the height of 39 feet upon deck, when he broke his neck. When I reached tho top my first move ment was to take a view of the prospect presented by the hostile fleet. For more t!i in a league extended a thick cloud of smoke, above which were discernable a forest of masts and rigging and the flags, the pend,nits, and the fire of the two na tions. Thousand off!ashes more or less near continually penetrated this clond and a rolling noise similar to the sound of continued thunder, but much stronger, rose from iis bosom. The sea was calm the wind light, and not very favourable lor the execution of manceuvers. ^ When the English top men who were only a few yards distance from us, saw us appear, they directed a sharp fire upon us, which we returned. A soldier and a sailor were killed quite dose to me ; two others, who were wounded wete able to go below by the shroud. Our opn»- nents were, it seems still worse handled than we, for I soon saw the English tops deserted, none sent to supply the place ; |, v of those who must have beee killed or woutrded by our balls. I then looked to tjie English vessels and our own. The smoke which enveloped them was dissi pated for a moment, and returned thicker at each broadside. The two decks were covered with dead bodies, which they had jiut time to throw overboard. I perceived was the cause of the sudden change. I hurried below to inform the captain of what I had seen of the enemy’s situation. He believed me the mere readily, as the slackening of the fire indicated that an e- vent of the highest importance occupied the attention of the English ship’s crew, and prevented them from continuing the action. He gave immediate orders for hoarding, and every thing was prepared for for it in a moment. It is even said that voung Fontaine, a midshipman belonging to the Redoubtable, passed by the ports into the lower decks of the English vessel, found it abandoned, and returned to noti fy that the ship had surrendered. As fou- taine was killed a few moments afterwards, these particulars were obtained from a sail or who said he had witnessed the transac tion. However, as part of our crew, command ed by two officers, were ready to spring upon tire enemy’s deck, the fire commen ced wi h a fury it never had from the be ginning of the action.—Mean while, an English 30 gun ship placed her side along side of the Redoubtable, to put it between two fires; and a French ship of the same force placed herself a breast of the Victo ry, to put her in the same situation. There was then seen a sight hitherto unexamp led in naval warfare, and not since re peated—four vessels, all in the same di rection, touching each other, dashing one against tho other, intermingling their yards, and fighting with a fury which no language can adequately express. The riggingwas abandoned and .every sailor and soldier put to the guns: the officers themselves had nothing 'o provide for, no thing to order, in this horrible conflict, and came likewise to tho guns. Amidst nearly four hundred pieces of large can non, all firing at one time in a confined space—amidst the noise of the balls which made furious breaches in the sides of the Redoubtable—amongst 'liesplinters which flew in every direction with the speed of! projectiles, and the dashing of the vessels, j which were driven by the waves against j each other—not a soul thought of any j thing but destroying the enemy, and the cries of die wounded and dying wpi o no longer lteatd The men fell, and if they were impediments to the action of the gun they had just been working, one of their companions pushed them aside with his foot to the middle of the deck, and with out uttering a word placed himself with concentrated futy at the same post, where he soon experienced a similar fate. In less than halfan hour, our vessel wi'hout having hauled H"wn her colours, had in fact surrendered. Her fire had gradually slackened, ?nd then ceased alto gether. The mutilated bodies of our com panions encumbered he two decks, which were covered with siot, broken cannon, matches still smoking, and shattered tim bers. 'One of out thirtv-six pounders had hurst towards tlr* close of the contest. The thirteen men placed at it bad been killed bv the splinters, and were heaped together round its broken carriage. The ladders that led bet wen the different decks were shattered and Iestroyed ; the mizen- nnst and main-mast had encumbered the deck with blocks an! pieces of rigging.— Of tho boats placed forward nr hung on the sides of the vessd there remained no thing hnt shattered flanks. Not more than a hundred and fifty urn survived out of a crew of about eighn hundred, and almost all these were mire or less seve elv wounded. Capt. Incas was one of the number. Tf was five o’cock wherr the artion ceased. I went ovr the ship, where ev ery thing presented--! prospect of desola tion. Calm desp i’r was painted on the countenances of tlese who had escaped frem this terrible sene, where I had just made my military d>but. Wells 4* Kibbe,! KEW fall &.

As I had received no orders to go down, and saw myself forgotten in the tops, I thought it my duty to tire on the poop of the English vessel, which I saw quite exposed and close to me. I could even take aim at the men I saw, but fired at hazard among the group of sailors and officers. All at once I saw great confusion on board the Victory, the men crouded round the officer whom J had taken for Nelson. He had just fallen, and was taken below covered with a cloak. The agitation shown at this moment, left me no doubt that I had judged rightly and that it was the English Admiral.
