These, as they come to our "£■ knowledge, we (hall think it our peculi-'; ar duty to record : and we (hall at all' r j times confiderourfelves as under particu- VN iar obligat ions to those who (hall favor j id- us with such Communications. i s The following are a few anecdotes of ll > Lhat memorable and brilliant day, • ° for the authenticity of which we can ( vouch. . _ , }w The French certainly did fire red-hot, he (hot at some of oyr (hips; More than j one fell on board the Brunfwlck in the ( late adtion. They were supposed to ( R> have been fired from the Brutus of 50 lq- guns, which was an old eighty-gun (hip, "P cut down, and which did not comein'.oj the French line. Several of the Brunfwick's crew are his burnt and much disfigured by fire balls and other combuitibles thrown in at hei :he ports.

While the Brunfwick was thus close ly engaged, a French (hip of 80 guns, ' ar with near 300 men in her shrouds, bore down without firing, thinking to carry on, her by boarding. The Brunfwick, 111"- however, fortunately (hot away all her malts by a single broadside, and all the Oif" boarders peri(hed in the sea ; va- The deck and poop of the French wf-admiral's (hip the Montagne, were cleared by the firtt broadside from the jrkj Qil een Charlotte, which continued ra- l^e Frenchmen for twenty-seven or Jminutes, to which he was able to re ofjturn but vety few guns : and there is jla- little doubt but he must have been ta ■ets k C "' a s g' v en way. im The Royal George, which also ion jbroke the French line with the molt dc-' md termined spirit, for some time fultainedi the fire of five French (hips, and com- 1 so pletely drove ber antagotiift, supposed! o be tVie Republican of no guns, out jf the line. . - °f The Royal George had her wheeled [hot away early in the engagement, and on received a considerable number of shot (hi between wind and water. on The French fleet was superior to the coi Englilh by 398 guns and 800 a men. do The complement of the Montagne was fin 1506 men and (lie carried 130 pieces of Tl cannon, including carronades on her ba poop—ln short, guns were mounted on wa board her wherever any room could be to l found—An Englilh vefiel (he took after th the engagement, and which has been aw fmce retaken, brings an account of the rij Montagne's havidg lott 400 men in the bu action. Among the difficulties which exist in fe< our attempt to deltroy the French Go-ve vemment, there must be reckoned the in; number of their armies, the facility of 011 their recruiting, the almost general en-jT. ergv of the nation, and the intelligentjO manner in wh eh their committee of.lat public fafety employs their refources.jth But to those who attentively observe pa theprefent scene there are other which fecm to render all the efforts of I the combined powers ineffedtual.

At firft the French ( ir bore down npoH the Britilh fleet : but I soon after hauled their wind, confidera- ] 1 ' bly out of gun (hot—Every exertion < l 'was made on the part of the Britilh; le to come up with them, but without ef-i . fedt, until 5 in the afternoon, about < e ' which time our headmoffi (hips, that is < s ' to fay, the Beilerophon, Admiral Paif-1 rc Icy ; Thnnderer ; Ruffil, and Audaci-1 ous, fucceffivtly opened on the (tern ' mod (hip, which was a three decker,. er called the Bretagne. The Ruffei lay' le close to her for some time; when the i Audacious, in' a mott gallant manner, :h having got well to windward, kept away re close under the Bretagne's stern, in lie to which (he poured her broadside and a- fired lie'r mufquetry from the tops arid :n the poop. Tbe French ship returned e- the fire—The Audacious lay 1 on the is quarter of the Bretagne near an hour a-and a half during which time the Marl borough and Gibraltar came up and; so joined in the cannonade. Latona fri c-'gate having worked well to' windward, 'dipoued her broadside, and raked the n-jßretagne, who in return gave her a stern uj.chafer or twa. " Aboiit 8 A. m. the itiizen tor>-fall of the Bretagne took fire, which oblig ed her to cut away her mizen top. u ,«,t on which (he fell round off upon our (hips. The enemy, during the attack on their rear, kept their wind and com fe. The Bretagne kept driving down towards the fleet; and as 1 ha\e since learned, (truck her colours Thus ended the business of the 28th, having to work up to the enemy, which was not effe£ted by any of ortr (hipst'll towards dark. The Belleroplion by this brush had her main-top mart, scot away', and some damage dune to tlie rigging ; and so had fomc other fi.ij 3 but they were all ready the next day. Thursday, May 29. " In the morning the enemy wne seen to windward, Lord Howe gave e very Beceffary orderly signal, for }>aiii. : ing the enemy. At half pad 11 A. M. "our van was engaged with their van. ■ This day the ailion lafled seven hours. ( Our rear did not come into action till : late ill the afternoon. At nine a. m. the enemy opened on our rear, as they • pafled to fortn an evolution. Abont 10 sjrhe Csefar cleared up her main top fails.

Tlie i cannonadin; : j .t t- ; s t'mc was very hea vy and quick. About sp. m. wepafT fed several of our own (hips, and clieer red them, and the cannonading soon as : ter abated. At nine p. m. the Queen ijChailotte bent a new fore-top-fail, her t'other being quite a rag. Several of our Ifiiips fuffered much this day in their 1 fails and rigging, and some in their -jtop-malts, particularly the Queen and ; Royal Sovereign, whole fails were 1 quite net work. The utmost diligence - was used 111 bending others, and t!i s r observation is equally due to every fliip that fuffered on that day. The inriv ci jble, Ruffelj aiid Leviathan, appeared ? to fuffer mod, the RufTel making much water. • Friday, May 30.

This it we ther continued, with littl•• mint 's million till Saturday' evening, May 3'- i. During this fog, as I have Em ieacucd,' j.the French fleet were joined by four iline of battle (hips, two frigates a h'and an English Hoop of war; and they n had detached two line of battle ships, a'which had loft their malls.
