So soon therefore as the advanced guard was forced by the impetuoufity of the a'tack made upon it to fall back, the rnafked battery opened upon the enemy a inoft galling fire of grape shot which soon checked theii ptogiefs.

He ordered also the remainder of the cavalry to fonn their front in his centre, which had the effea of kee ping the centre of the French- from making a movement to support their left wing. Ihe attack and the defence were furious and san guinary ; the F tench fought with defperatioti, but were o bilged at last to fall backhand were driven in cenfufion from the field.” BRESLAU, January 10.

Lewis Alexander Sen drey7, of the three masted schoon er LL States, of New-Orleans, who sailed from the Mississippi, for Trinidad, in the island of Cu ba, reports, That on the 221 of September, 1806, at noon, perceived the land, being tbe higher part of Trinity ; he made all sail, intend ing if the wind which blew from s. s. e. continued, to anchor at Cayo Blar.cho. At 3 o’clock, a quantity of Clouds appeared of various colors which absolutely prevented the sight of land and reached the Ze nith. The horizon, dreadfully dark communicated its shade to the upper part of tbe sky ; as it advanced, the horizonof the earth bore the same appearance as that ofttiesea,so that at 5 o’clock, p. M- the wind ceased and he found himself bet wen both. This was frightful the whole of the horizon of a jetty black, polar circles of a dark pale white, be spangled with flashes ol fire ;tiie vault oi heaven or the Zenith, of a frightful equinox, avid present, ed the most gloomy horrais of nature- In this situation, the captain k crew did not feel comtoi table ; by farce, they resigned them selves to their fate, when, all at l once, at three quarters past 8, die vessel being off the n. e. part oi the city of Trinity, there appear* i c d, in the polar circle, the ap ■ uearance of an eye ol large di- I mension, out of which there came a huge waterspout, which im mediately made an abundant dis chai ge, about one leaga* trout the vessel. Examining with attention this phenomenon, what was the cap tain’s surprise on perceiving ten minu;es after (hat, the spout com menced discharging, that it a (•acted his vessel towards it, and that in the space oi six minutes it had been attracted half a ieag ie. Consternation was per crivable in ad p esent, the captain felt the necessity of having guns on board ; he looked on hiuvve is lost without redemption, at Providence did not tn erpose m h.a behalf. The discharge from the water-spout was immense, which gave them hope* th it .voutd soon spend ilselt. Ine. were in error, for if a shower horn northward hud nut provt ientialfv fallen, they would nave .nevttaWy been dm vit within u vortex ; ie made all possible sat! hr th--: Cape to the s. w. during one quarter of an hour, which .roved his salvation. Had not he variation of wind taken place ‘he schooner & crew would have v--e n lost. The same shower from th northward had not yet ceased, when the wind shifted instantly ‘o that part where the spout had burst. The rain and wind conti nued with violence during one hour, they were obliged to run under bare poles before the wind —lmmediately a calm ensued, and on every side the water pour cd down of the thickness of a finger until midnight, so that the scuttles scarcely sufficed for the discharge of tiie rain.
