A correspondent remarks how different the conduct of France
is from that of Great Britain, in consequence of a late
engagement off Brest; the French nation are all happy in the
event, and sung Te Deum for a complete victory, while the
English, though they have no doubt but the Monsieurs have
been well drubbed, are disappointed that the enemy got into
Brest a single ship, and are being taught by court agents to
lay the blame upon the Minority Admiral, are ready to sing
Nunc dimittas servum tuum.
