HA'VRE-D£-GRA'CE, a fea-port town of France, 
and feat of a tribunal, in the department of the Lower 
Seine, fituated in a flat marlhy foil, interfefted with 
creeks and ditches, at the mouth of the Seine. In 1509 
it contained only a few houfes inhabited by fiftiermen. 
Francis I. erefted it into a town, and called it Ville de 
Francois , which Was afterwards changed to the name it 
now bears, on account of a chapel, and the harbour 
formed by the mouth of a river. The harbour has par¬ 
ticular advantages above all others on that coaft ; the 
water does not begin to ebb till three hours after the 
full tide, which gives an opportnity for a great number 
of ftiips to depart in the fame tide. The caufe of this 
is attributed to the current of the Seine, which crolfes 
the mouth of the harbour as foon as the fea begins fo 
retire, and tints confines the water in the harbour till it 
has fpent its ftrength. The bafon is referve'd for ftiips 
of war, with fufficient room for thirty, and depth of 
water for veflels of fixty guns. Before the revolution, 
it was the feat of a governor-general, and. other officers ; 
a bailiwic, admiralty, &c. it contained two churches, 
three convents, anhofpital, town-houfe, an affenal, ma¬ 
gazines, and ftore-houfes, neceflary for the conftruftion 
and arming of ftiips. It is defended by lofty walls, large 
ditches filled with water, and furnifhed with fiuices; a 
regular citadel with baftions, &c. During the civil wars 
on account of religion in France, the French Huguenots 
feized on this town, and put it into the hands of the 
Englifh ; but in 1563, the proteftants concluding a Jieace, 
the Englifh garrifon was obliged to furrender the town,
