The foil owing published in the American Star, contains fundryparticulars refpefiing tbeFrcncb and English fleets which tad not before, bun laid bt fom tfje public. Details of the division of the French fleet, which failed from Brest in November, 1793. Six men of war and two frigates, com manded by Rear- admiral Wanftable, failed from Brelt about the end of November, and cruised between d'Ouefiant and Cape Ltfc?.rd. They took 17 English prizes, amongfl which were merchant vessels from the fpnr quarter* of the world. The ioth day of their cruise, being twenty five leagues Weft of d'Ouefiant they had fight of the Englilh fleet, composed of twenty fix men of war, and a number of frigates and 1 corvets, which gave chafe with a fair wind to the French fleet, whom it endeavoured to keep from the land, by means of an oblique course, made between them and the land. It was at this time that Lord Howe, believ ing that the French veflels could not escape him, detached an advice-boat to announce tile capture of the French squadron. The rear-admiral Wanflable perceiving the design of the Engli/h admiral, took to flight, and steered in such a manner as made. Lord Howe believe that he designed to run out to sea, and this was what aided him alll the time he could not be perceived* In this interval, an English frigate having approached a French one, brought her can non to bear ; the former left her and pufted hard towards the veiTels of the Rear-admiral, who gave the enemy's frigate a hroadiidej & the Englilh not being willing to receive ano ther, steered off towards the thickest of his fleet. As soon as night came, Wanftable made a lignal to extinguish all the fires and lights, and to change the course. He immediately made an E. S. E. direction, till judging hitr felf to be between the north and south of Bel lifle, he (leered for it to convince hi mfelf, & found the land so nigh that he entered Brett without any accident. By this dextrous man oeuvre he escaped the enemy, and had in cafe, of any unlucky rencounter, the fort of . 1- lisle for a protestor, or the bay of Tibercu. for a refuge. Lord Howe having miffed a prey, which he regarded as certain, returned into the bay of Falmouth. Ihe French squadron being certain of this, and not imagining that fix veffeU could make any way against 16, im mediately put to sea and fleered for America. CONGRESS. IN SENATE, Monday, March 10.
