The French bore down at firft, but formed a line ot ti battle, and about half past one, when 1c their line was formed, made fail. No figiial for the line was made by'rr Lord Howe but that fora general chace.ir; Six (hips were up before the Audacious, I 3 but none of them fetched so uearasg that (hip. At eight !he engaged a French drip, and the aeJtion continued till ten. During the aeflion the French (hip twice fell on board the Audacious, but without any intention of bom ding her. About the middle of the adlion, the , mt/.en topsail of the French (hip caught ! fire from her arm chest in the top blow nig up, and almost immediately "after, her mizen malt went •verboard, cloft below the deck. After tl e action had continued about an hour and a half, her main .yard, fore yard, and main top sail yard likewise went overboard. The c Audacious had all her running and j standing rigging cut: only two fore (hrouds left ; one (hot in her fore mast, ttobe in constant attendance, and are te 1 accompany him every where.

Should these opinions be well found ed, we may be certain of what indeed! 'jwe never entertained any great doubts, that the combination agairift Fiance s willioon be broken and crumble to pie e ces.
