BRUSSELS, June 11.
Flat-bottomed vessels, part of the gun-boats and armed vessels from Ostend and Nieuport, have got out and arrived safely at Dunkirk, by keeping close to the shore, the English ships being out in the open sea. The divisions of the vessels at Havre, Boulogne and Calais, have not, however, yet been able to reach Dunkirk, being prevented by the English cruisers.
Two camps are now marking out by the French engineers, the one between Bruges and Ostend, and the other between Gravelines, Dunkirk and Havre, which probably will be employed in the expedition: 80,000 men are assembled on the French coasts for this expedition, which is intended against England and Ireland.
