June 28 From the London Gazette Extraordinary. Admiralty Office, June 27. The following dispatch was this morning received from Lord Bridport, Iv. B. Royal George, at Oi-a, June 24, I 79 J. Sir, It is with fisicere fatisfaftion I acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that i w msjeltv's lhips under my com mind attacked ths enemy's fleet, 'con lifting of 12 (hips of the line, attended with eleven frigates and some frrtalk-r cmifers, on the 23d inft. close in with port L'Orient : thr ('hips which (truck are the A lemnder, L- Formidable and Le Tvgre, which were with difficulty retained. If the enemy had not been protedted and sheltered by the land, I have every teafon to believe that a greater number, if rot all the line of battle Slips, would have been ta ken or dell roved. In detailing the particulars of tills service, 1 am to state, that at rhe dawn of day 011 the 23d inll. the Nymph and Aftrea being the look-out frigates a head, mi le the signal for the enemy's j3-et. I f »on perceived tint theie was no intention to meet ra; in battle ; eonfequently, I made the signal for fdur df the bell failing (hips, the Sans Pareil, OH on, RtiTel and C olofTtis, and fion afterwards for the whole fleet, to chafe, which continued ail that day and during the night with very li tie wind. Early in the morning7m the 2"3d infh the head molt (hips, the Irrefiitible, Orion, Queen Char lotte, RufTel, ColoQus and Sans Pareil, were pret ty well up wirb the enemy, and a little before fix o'clock the action began and continued till near 9, when the ships firuck : the British fquadi*on were near to some batteries, and in the face of a ilrong naval port ; which will manifeft ta the public, the zeal, intrepidity and skill of the admirals, captains, snd all other officers and foldierg employed upon this service ; and tiiey are fully entitled to my warmed acknowledgment?. I beg alto to he allow ed to mark my approbation, in a par tcitlsr manner, of captain Domett's conduct, serving uifder my flag; for his ma :ly spirit, an 1 for the affiliance 1 receiv ed from his a£tive and attentive mind. I feel like wise great fatisfa£tion in doing jultiee to the meri torious conduct of all the officers of every class, as \vell as the bravery of thefeamen andfoldiersin-the Royal George npon this event, and upon former occalions. 1 judged it neceflary ilpon the information I had received of the force of the enemy, to put the Ro bu(l, Thunderer and Standard, into my line of bat tle ; but theii dittance froul the squadron, ;»id un der the circumltances of little wind, they could not joi.i me till after the action was oyer. I (hall pro ceed upon my (tation at soon ns I have ordered a dif tributim of the prifontrs, and made other neceflaiy arrangements for the squadron. It is mr intention to keep at sea, in order to fulfil every part of my inllruitions, I have judged it neceflary l> fend cap tain Domett with my dispatches, wh> will give their Lordship* such further informal > in as (hall have occurred to him on the r viftory we I';.ve gained. You will herewith receive a lift of the killed and wounded, with the (hips they belonged tj, and the commanders names. N. B. I am happy to find by the report made to me, that Capt.

Hit Majelty's mo!t gracious SPEECH to both Hoilfes of Parliament, on Saturday, June 27, *795- My Lords and Gentlemen, THE zealous and uniform regard which you liave (hewn to the general interells of my people, and particularly the prudent, firm, ar.d fpiritcd sup port which you have continued to afford me in the prosecution of the great contefl in which we are itill unavoidably engag;d, demand my warmed ac knowledgments, , 'The encouragement which my allies mud derive from the knowledge of your sentiments, and the extraordinary exertions which you have enabled me to make in lupporting and augmenting my naval and military forces, nffoid the means molt likely to conduce to these restoration o( peace to thekingdo i s and to the re«e.tabli(hment of general tranquillity, on a iecure, honourable. and lasting foundation. Geril/emen of tke Ifonft of Commons. i have to return you my hearty thanks for the liberal andamp'c foppiies which the r{fouve:s of the country have enabled you to provide, beyond all former example for the various exigences of the public fervicc. I have also to acknowledge, with perjiliar fenft bility, the recent proofs wiiich you have given me of your attachment to my person and family. In the provision which you have made for fettling the establishment of the Prinse and Princess of Wales, and for extricating the Prince from the e.icumbran ,:ee, in which he was involved. My Lords and Gentlemen, It is impoflible to contemplate the internal fix ation of the enemy, with whom we are contending, without indulging a hope that the prefpnt circum stances of France may, in their effeftj, hatle". the return of such a state of order and regular srovern . . O ment as may be capable of maintaining the accuf toraed relations of amity and peace with Other pow- er?. The iflfue, however; of these extraordinary tranfaftioiTg is oilt of the reach of human forefight. Till that desirable period arrives, when my fuhjefts can be reltored to the secUre enjoyment of the bleflf ings of peace, I stall not fail to make the mofl ef feilual ufeof Ihe force which you have put into my handr,. It i« with the utniofl fatisfa&ion that I have re cently received the advices of an important and bril liant fuecefs obtaiiicd over the enemy, by a detach ment of my fieet under the able condu:t of Lord KriJport 1 have every reason to rely on the continuance of the diftinguilheJ bravery and conduit of my fleet and armies, as well as of the zeal, spirit and perse verance of my people, which have been uniformly manifeited through the whole course of this just and neeelfarv war, Then the Lord Chancellor, ly his Muyjlft com- n fj'td—• My Gentlemen, It is h s Majesty's royal will and pleafbre, that this Parliament be prorogued to Wednesday the sth day nf Augult next, to be then here holden ; and thi; parliament is accordingly prorogued to Wadnefday, the sth day of Augull next. June 30, Accounts hive reached this conntrv of the Emi grants under Sir J. B. Warren having ellefted a 1 nding in Quiberopn Bay, with the ntmolt regu larity. The Royalifls are in that quarter in very greaf force ; andJas considerable supplies of arms and ammunition have been sent them, theie can be no doubt of their force very rapidly increafmg. Lord Bridport's station, to which he alludes in his late letter, is probably off that part of the coalt where the Emigrants have landed, to prevent any interrup tion to Sir J. B. Warrens operations from any (hips the French might have sent out for that purpole. We underltand that an army of the Chouans,[and Ijkewife a Republican army, were witnesses, from their different positions ill vicinity of L'Orient, of theglorious victory obtained by Lord Bridport-, over the French Fleet, under the walls of that placc. This circnmltance mull give additional energy to tfee Chotians ; for while it shews them that nothing can refilt Britifii valor, it mult hcreafe their de*ef tation and contempt for the Republicans, againlt whole cause theyliave so perfeveringly combated. We have no doubt, likewise, but that when the intelligence of this vittory on the part of the Bri- tifh becomes circulated in France, it will operate ve ry powerfully iji favor of the Emigrants landed un- der the protection of Sir J. B. Warren's fqnadron- The Royalills certain that this countty is undispu ted mistress of the sea, will lie inspired with a renew ed confidence, which may incite them to fiefii en terprize, and probably lead them to attempts which may contribute to the falvatiou and ultimate peace of their diftrafted coHntry. The three French line of battle (hips captured by our fleet, were so severely mauled, that it has been neceflary to fend them home in tow, tinder a con voy. The re(l of the French fleet also fuftered very much ; andfo disabled was the Admiral's Flag Ship, Le Peuple, as to have had a very narrow escape by running under the batteries of the Island de Croix, tvhichcoverstheCntrance to Port Louiiand L'Orient. Lord Bridport finding he could not take her, gave het a complete broadside at parting from his own (hip. Three of the French (hips ran a-ground, but it is fiipp»fed they wounld get off. So near was this engagement to the land, that it is extreme y doubt ful whether Lord Bridport would have been able to have iaptured any other (hip than the Alexander, if the other two prizess, theTigreand the Formi dable, had not been ordered to (lacken fail and wait for her ; the French seeming to make it a point to favethis (hip if pofiible. The Letters, both of Lord Br'dport and Vice Admiral Gornwallis, do infinite honor to their heads and hearts. They are charatterized by the true modefly of merit, while thev expiefs that glow of foul which the true valor of their Officers and Men isfo well calculated to iufpire. Our navy 13 now equal to cope with the united force of Europe, were it opposed to us ; a judicious disposal of our fleets mutt therefore inevitably crush the matitime power of France ; and we feel a pride in recounting, that that is already much much more than half accomplished. It 13 not more, however, in the fucctfles of our fleets that we rejoice than in the circumllances under which these are obtained that we glory. In every instance, in whichth* Re publican flag has fuffered disgrace and defeat, there has fortunately been an opportunity for the (kill and courage of our officers and men to blaze with height ened lufl/e. The Mediterranean and the Atlantic are eqdally propitious to Britilh Fame ; and the diltinguifhed victories of a Hotham and a Bridport, will be rivalled in Fame by the astonishing retreat of a Corn Wall is. On Sunday came into Yarmouth Roads Hit Ma jesty's sloop l'Efpiegle, Capt. Roberts, with the Johanna Eleanora, the Carlfcrona, and.the l'Oberen Swedifll ships, laden with wheat, bound to France. By the new conftitntion proposed fat France, there are to be three Eftßtes.—The firft is to be the Executive, eompofed of five members—the second theantients, or Patricians, or the Senate, eompo fed of five hundred—and the third, consisting like wise of five hundred, is to propose laws, which the Senate is to examine and to pass. This form seems chiefly taken from some of the American States, whose form of government is built upon the model of the Britiffi ConlKtution. The chieF i i this new Constitution piopoled for France feerrn t > be, that the Executive puwer is to be ch'ofeii by tlu' Li'iriflttive. Tli-.* anfuiM.it y and inconvenience of this will soon appear, and thus will they revert to an hereditary Executive Power, or, in other words a King. What will the friends of Eqita'ity in this country fay to their favo ite system being exploded, even by their ftiends the French, as an absurd chimera!— They surely will now be convinced of the folly of 3 tyllem which they have taken up upon the ipfedixit >f those very men who now scout it ?.s impraftic?- >le, after having it a very ample experiment. ■ PORTSMOUTH, June 24 Tiiorryij Edwards, Esq. who v.-as fir it Licntenan; of tlie Boston frigate, when cspt.
