A knadion of the 21d regiment of mounted chaffeurs, and a detachment of gene d'armes efcorted her from the borders of the depattment. The conßituted authorities and the tri butrals, had placed themfelves on the commit of the mountain overlooking the town, and watched her arrival.

A rumour has been propagated, that a part of our armament had already failed in the prefence of the Emperor ; but afterwards it was found oat, that it was only a convoy and 200 gun-boats from Calais and Dunkirk, which had failed, and arrived at Bou logne. The enemy appear to be very attentive to the movements of our. army and navy. The moment of attempt cannot be dillant, though it is believed that his Majefly will, before the expedition fails, re ' view both the fea and land troops dellined to invade England. His Majelly is daily expelled both at Dunkirk and at Oltend, where detachments of Isis Guardkhave already arrived. The Minifter of the War Department, Dsceas, has arrived at Boulogne from Havre, where he has been to hallen the departure of the centre of the Im• perial flotilla for fee. his new credentials at an audience granted him for that puristic.

Thefe objets were hitherto the only ones in the organization of France, which were fuodn not fully commen- Curate with the greatnefs and neceffities of the Rate.

F r om the filence of the Envoys at the Diet. after the votes given by the Eldiorate of Enrols% id:, and the Duchy of Bremen, on the fubje& of the Ruffian Nate of the 7th of May, and etpecially from the circumfiance that the cullrmary formula rela tive to the votes that remain to be given, has not yet been anne zed to the protocol of the Diet, it is con cluded that no more votes will be given on the fub jed. Only Anterior Pomerania, as mentioned above, has as yet voted. STRASBURG, JULY 25. —According to fome ac counts, the Ruffian Charge d'Affaires, M. &Gone:tr., will Coon have Paris, and M.

I they r, Auc. 3.—According to the mop recent intelliitence from Vienna, it appears that the Conic of Vienna is on the point of offaring its mediation to rellorc peace between Great Britain and Fiance. By the 'intelligence from London and Paris, one fhould be apt almoft to conclude that the tranquillity of the continent was a dubious matter. Without re. capitulating the affertions and arguments made ufe of by either party, it is eafy to judge, from the diplo. matic hiftory of the prefent period, whether or not the carafes of difpute or coolnefs between fume of the great powers of the continent are of a nature to ad mit of reconciliation. To an attentive obferver, events (peak funlciently of themfelves. If, however, a continental war be inevitable, it (eons to be gene rally underftood that an unfbaken neutrality may be expelled on the part of Prnffia ; and whatever may be the confequences of a new hoftility in Europe, we appear to be far enough ont of harm's way at land from our relations with our exalted French ally.

This camp is now complete.and contains 59,000 ringeb trooph under the command of Gen. Mattison*. and Tscoo Batavians, commanded by General bussomcsau. It is the common opinion, that theft troops are more deftined to ferve as an fray of referee to the army of Hanover, in cafe of la continental war. than to invade England.

Gentry. held yefierday it the Thatched Houle Tavern, for the purpole of volunteering horfes and carriages to con vey the troops to, the army in cafe of iovidion, the Right Honourable Lord Hawsasaoar wasc d to the Chair. Sir Pions Waren'r having explained to the Meet ing the nature of the tenders that were intended to be made to Government. (which were the fame as thrice he propofed at the Crown and Anchor, and Manfion Houle,) Lord Hawes setter was of opinion that the pro- pofitions made by the Commiffsry General would be. if carried into execution. the belt that could be adopt ed, and he hoped every Gentleman prefent would agree with him in endeavouring to atilt the Govern ment of the Country. in a way fo peculiarly calcu lated to annoy the enemy in cafe of invafiop, It ap peared to his Lord/hip, that Gentlemen need not be . deprived of their carriages until an invafion had ac tually taken place, as the machine which was to be placed on the winds, was fo couLtrueed that it might be ealily placed in a bay loft or out hottfe. till it was wanted ; alien,in a very fhort time, the coach might be taken from he carriage, and this new machine be placed on it, to convey troops to the army. His I..ordlhip obferved, that thole Gentlemen who had job holies might feel a degree of delicacy in volun teering the property of other men, although in their fervice, and kept at their expence ; but to obviate this, he had great ple..tite to inform them, that the matter-jobbers had, in the mat handfome and truly patriotic manner, come forward, and,ljptiblic ad vertifement,permitted Gentlemen who employed their honks, to volunteer them as their own, provided tbik Gentlemen would fend their own coachman with two days provifion, to take care of the cattle. which the Noble Lord prefnmed no Gentleman prefent would refule to do. A Gentleman prefent stored the Meet ing, he had eviy inclination to affill the Government in the way which 1,a:1 been propofed ; but he waited to he informed, if it &mild fo happen that he was with his carriage and bodes in Scotland, when she Government called on him at hishoufe in London to produce them according to the fpirit of this Meeting. Ise flsould in that cafe be confidered as having lilted wrong in taking his horfes and carriage fo far from the feat of Government i Several Gentlemen alfo es prelkd a with that they might not be deprived of the privilege of taking their horfes and carriages out of town. It was then agreed. on a motion of the Com 'stiffer y General, that Gentlemen becoming fuhfcribers at the prelim meeting, fhoold write oppolite their names bow long they would volunteer their horks and carriages, and that on their leaving London Mould be iafornsed of the fame; in which cafe the inconvenience objected to would be done away. It was farther propofed that. in confequence of the thin attendance, each Gentkman tboald endeavour to pro. cure as many fubfcribers as poiLble in the neighbour hood where be refilled, and tranfoit their ammo mid tenders to the Committer, General. .FRifti CIL PARIS, JULY 31. We are Wormed by letters from India, that the EngMb, although at peace with Portugal, have made themfclves mallets of the cities of Goa and The lateen veffels of the flotilla of Boulogne,which at the time 41/the florin drove along the coati and an. chored at Etaples , and even at Dieppe, have return ed to Boulogne. It appears that this accident, which leas of very little importance. has been exaggerated, The Emperor was in no danger, Gate he was on (bore at the time the gale of wind came on Co fuddenly in the night. The crews of the four vetch which were Itift have been faved : a pinnace, indeed, was wreck eel going into Etaples. Thus out lots has, in fat, bees very link : is men it has amounted may to twenty. As to the bombardment of Havre, it had so other confequence than killing an old woman and a girl of 19 years of age, and damaging a few hoofer of which damage the Emperor has ordered an efli• mate to be made, in order to indemnify the propri eton : the whole, it is fuppofed, does not amount to more than 20,000 lines. The flotilla of Havre being in the port, the Englifh fleet took advantage of the ebb tide to approach, when we could Rot get out.-- Three bomb veffels threw about a hundred bombs but the flotilla of Capta in Dauza tea Coon finding Cue ficient water to come nut into the road the enemy Rood out at fea. The whole coaft is well fortified. and as it may be fuppofed, our batteries did not re main idle. From the accounts we have received, it aippears that many of our bombs reached the enemy • sad that their lofi amounts to 53 men killed and 26 'rounded.-31esitierrr, Airg 6U . t. .311 PT 3. • Letters from Marfeilles of the date of the-a sd ult.

Such im ?ode= has not been witnefftd for a long time.— According to the report of the Commanding General, it is entirely owing to the coutage of Favow de Saint Laurent. and the detachment under him, that no Inifchief has been done. We are Afiured that the Emperor of Ruffia has fent a declaration of great confequence to our Go vernment, with a cosatier, who arrivtd here fcmel days ago. On the 25th ult. from 6 o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon, the Emperor in .fpolled the manccuvres cf the fecond ditifion of the camp near Boulogne._ The fame day the Emperor infpeted that part of the flotilla, fuck as pinnaces, &c. dellineo to ufe the oars. The next dot Lie Majely reviewed the gen-boats, and other armed vac's of the flotilla.

Aland hinsfeit highly latisfied with the order and dn . - eipline that prevailed every where. Boutoon s, i.e 3c.—Three divifions of the flo tilla came into the Road yeßerday evening. They anchored in front of the cruizers, confining of 13 flips of war. The Emperor palled the afternoon in the Road ; he was accompanied by the Minilfers of Marine and War, Marlhal Souvr, and Admiral Bevil. He returned in the evening to the Pont de Binque, where he was clofetted with M. Bates Masson", Minifler of the Public Treafury, who has lately arrived from Paris. At one in the morning, Englith pinnaces, commanded by Lieutenant Ni at.
