The Commander in Chief orders a _feu de joie_ to be fired this evening at six o'clock, to celebrate the most signal victory that ever was gained over the French fleet, on the 1st of June last, by Earl Howe, in the English channel. The French fleet consisted of twenty-six ships of the line, the English fleet of twenty-five. Of the French seven sail of ships of the line were taken, one sunk, and many of them dismasted and crippled; so that most probably many more would fall into the hands of the English. In short, the General has the satisfaction to announce to the army the total ruin of the French fleet. _Head Quarters, St. Pierre, July 28, 1794_. Parole, JERVIS. C.
