Commodore Truxtun, in hi flagship Constellation, came upon the French frigate ‘L'Insurgente off th Island of St. Kitts. A running fight of several hours ensued, ending with: » the French vessel's surrender. Later Truxtun attacked another Frencn frigate, La Vengeance, and put hor to filght. ‘The fighting was confined to naval engagements. Although ‘the “pro- + visional army,” under Washington, stood ready to defend the country as _ gallantly as in the Revolution their services were not needed. For, while the war was still raging at sea, the Directorate went out of power and 4 France's reins of government were selzed by Napoleon Bonaparte.
