a sea-port town of France, in Normandy, with a harbour and Augustine abbey. It is remarkable for the sea-fight between the English and French fleets in 1692, when the latter were beat, and upwards of twenty of their men of war burnt near Cape la Hogue. The British landed here in August 1758, and took the town, with the ships in the baton, demolished the fortifications, and ruined the other works which had been long carried on for enlarging the harbour and rendering it more safe and convenient. Within these few years it has been attempted again to improve the harbour, and rebuild the works; but after considerable progress had been made, a great part of them suddenly gave way, and the enterprise it CHEREM is thought will not be again resumed.
