with all her mails, spars and rigging

P. M. when both fleets Iheered off:
on the 2d June, at 8, A. M. both fleets
again came to action, which was fought
with great desperation for five hours,
when both fleets separated a fecon.d
time, not a (hip having t. •.en on

Another Account.
Yetterday arrived here,-after a paflage
°f 64 days from L'Orient, the brig
Hawke, Capt. Pierce, of Boston.
On the 4th of June, in lat. 46, 4N.
lor g. 7, 4, was boarded by a French
frigate, which had in.tow 2 other ves
sels of war, one of therf) mounting 130
guns, all of which had been in the grand
engagement which, a few -days before,
bad been fought between Lord Howe
and the French fleet. The- 130 gUn
ship had been dismasted, '.and out of
1500 men whom (he had on board, 500
were killed by the Englilh, they having,
for a'long time, withstood the fire of
Several Errglifh (hips of war, who were
deterred from boarding the French, it
isJaid, on account of the great numb«r
•of men.
Captain Pierce, with two French
passengers, coming to America in the
Hawke, were taken on board one of the
vessels which they had in tow, they
leaving t wo men on board of the Hawke
till they fhouW return. The Captain
was sent back, with orders to deliver
the property that belonged tgjthe pas
sengers, as they intended to carry them
back to France, who, it seems, had left
ttair -.country under the protection of
illegal passes.
Captain Pierce, while on board the
trench vessel, saw one English and tw»
Dutch Captains, all of whom had been
taken previous to the engagement, with
the vefTels under their command.
As to the final decision of this much
ked-of engagement, no accounts have
vet transpired to enable us to be fatis
*actary 011 this head. By this arrival
we have-no accounts of the capture of
* tt j vt^c ' s ou eithei fide; but the roost
probable supposition is, that one or the
i other, or both, mirlt have! experienced
a loss, either from capture or vessels
funk—for, all the accounts agree, that
the cofitelt was lengthy, fevers and
bloody.
The last port from which Captain
Pierce failed, was Crofic, about 20
leagues from L'Orient ; at which place
it was reported, that the fleet from the
Chefapeak had arrived at Brelt, though
it could not tie depended on.
Captain Moulton, of the brig Mary,
who arrived at Newburyport a few days
ago from Oftend, 011 the 2d of June, in
lat. 48, 7, saw a fleet of t 7 fail, Handing
to the eattward, with 4- of the fleet in
tow, dilmaftrd. . Six hours after, saw
32 fail, (landing wctt, supposed to be
the French fleet frorrt the Chefapeak,
and, the Englith fleet which failed in
pursuit of them.
From the above) no doubt can be en*
tertained, but that the engagement was
previous to the'2d of J una.''

THE FIRE.
Oil Wedncfday morning, about four
o'clock, the melancholy cry -of tire grat
ed on the ears of our citizens. They im
mediately aflemblcd to (top, if polTible,
the ravages of the deftruitire element.
The fire cattgkt in the rope-walk of Mr.
Howe, by an accident in heating' some
tar, and : before the inhabitants' could'be
alarmed and afl'ernble.d, it had gained so
great a head as to render abortive all at
tempts to fecilre from the flames, any
of thole elegant and valuable ruptf-wWks,
which formed 1 row from Milk-'itreet,
to the we(t .part of Fort-Hill, their at
tention, therefore, was turned to the
prefervatipij of the dwelling h»ufes,
which, from the inter*!* beat arising
from the burning tar and hemp, were
taking (ire in every direction, at the
distance of fovtral rods. In the c<Jm
mencement of the fire, there was very
little wind from any point, but in a few
moments it came on to blow -very fre(h
from the north, l and so continued till
the flames were flopped by their arrival
at the water fide.
By this accident, many citizens, who
by many years laborious industry had
I acquired a little property —in one in
ilant, " in the twinkling of an eye,"
are reduced to poverty. But it is be
yond a douht, that the outstretched
hapd of liberality from every individual
will in part indemnify them ; but this
part can be but small. No aflual cal
culation has been made ; but aimoft e
very opinion is, that the loss of proper
ty by this fire is far. superior to the loft
by the fire at the south end.
It is with pleasure we acknowledge
the exertions of our brethren from the
country, which on this, as on many
former occafioti*> were Unremitted and
highly serviceable. These circumstances
will still fatter bind the bonds of friend
(hip, and do aWav ridiculous local pre
judices. From the town# of Cambridge,

Messrs. Printers,
I wish you to print, as early this day
as poifible. Or the Tontine Whigs will
have the French fleet in as many posi
tions as Don Peter Chres used to put
his tumblers.
About half after nine this morning,
the Britilh had taken and funk nine fail
of the French—at ten they had fifteen
—at eleven there were thirteen fail of
the Spanish fleet came Unawares on the
Chesapeake provision-ships; one of the
Spamfh Captains, by a wonderful piece
of mgertuity, peculiar to that nation
only, loaded vttth a crow-bar, which he
carefully managed in this manner, viz.
the bar had an eye punched through it
like a needle, through whieh went a
four-inch cable, he got the French in 4
range, and fired through them from •>Jlem
to flern ; at the fir(l discharge he had
eleven (hips on his cable strung like pi
geons !—lt is true, MeflVs. Printers;
print it directly, or I will swear it was
ferenteen.

I take the freedom to express my plcafure
