We Rated yellerday, that our accounts from Tor bay induced us to believe, in oppofition to the reports current, that Admiral Coenwsttts would loon refume his Ration off Breft. In this opinion we find we were not miftaken. It now appears that want of water and fome Rom brought ten ofour chips into port, which failed again as rOOll as they had taken on board what tht y Rood in need of. They would, by this time, have been at their old Ration, had not the wind turned contrary, and fcnt them again into port. — When they reach their detlination, it is thought the other (hips now there, will come into port for a day or two for fupplies. A Dutch paper, which brings the news down two days later than the accounts by the lati Hamburgh mail Rates, that the Emperor of the French having czcourpfified the er6eB of hie vi fit to Mentz, had quitted that city, as had alfo all the sreat diplomatic eltaraaers who had attended him there. It is fupporeii he would be in Paris about the tft of this month. A pilot boat from HeiUpland was fpokep with left Saturday, by our cruizers blockading the Elbe and the Wefer. By frets of weather, it had been forced to take limiter at Bremerley, in the latter ri ver. According to the reports pf the pilot, the fuf ferings of the inhabitants in the Eleetorate of Hano ' ver are aril greater than they have been reprefented in the newfpapers ; the French being now aCtively employed in carrying away this year's harveft, and difpofing of it at Hamburgh, Bremen. and even in Holland, fo that a famine is inevitable, fhould they not be relieved from other countries. All gold and flyer coins have already been fent to France; no thing but copper is in circulation ; and the people are entirely ruined by the enormous requifitions and contributions extorted by BoII6PAETC's fatellites.— Far from pitying thefe wretched people, the French comnaiffarics have ordered military execution every where ; and not only ►he cattle, but the furni ture and kitchen utenfils have been feized, and tranfported in waggons to Holland, to be fold there, as no money is left in Hanover for buyers.— Several infurredions have taken place ; but they have been of no ufe, except to procure the French new opportunities to add murder to plunder. Three in habitants of Neucnhoofen were (hot on Wedncfday lennight, accufed of preaching fe4ition. The fame day, feveral of the peafants, at and near Bremetley. were put into requifition for atfitting to build a fignal tower in the r,:ighbourhood ; General Blatianovra having ordered twelve fignal towers to be coultruiltd in twelve different Bailiwicks of Hanover, and to be armed with fame guns, to Terre as a rallying point for the French troops, in cafe of a general riling of the Hanoverian' againit their tyrants, or in cafe the Elec torate should be invaded by foreign foes. The French report, that BnicAPARTI intends, in cafe of a con tinental war, to order a confcription of all young men, from fifteen ta twenty-fix, in Hanovei. and that they are to be fent to France, and incorporated with his armies upon the coaft. A number of young men, therefore. quit their country, notwidittanding the fevcrity of 13osaraart's police agents and gens J'armes, with regard to patio. Three young Hann- Vet Lin' were concealed on board the pilot boat, who intended to go to :Lilian to Will in the German Le gion in the Britith fervice, but who entered into the marines on boa' d !.ur fiigatcs. There young men de clare, that if their 'countrymen were at liberty to follow their inclinations, England would in a month rife an army of sc.sco men among them; fuch is their detellation of the French, and the mifery to which they are reduc.:J.

In the evening the Pruffian Charge d'Affaires to the Imperial city of Frankfort, fent a Courier to his Court, no doubt, with there particulars. It is reported upon our Exchange, that the French troops encamped near Luneburg, In Hanover, are to be encreafed to :5,000 men, and that the greater part of them are, before the winter Pets in, to occupy Swedifh Pomerania, under the command of General Lto►OLD Burnam In the mean time, the King of Sweden has ordered Stralfund, the only ftrong place in his German territory, to be put in a (fate to fuftain a liege. The old fortifications are repairing, aad new ones are added; and it is Paid, that an en campment of t ;ow Swedifh troops will be formed between Griepfwald and Stralfund. As it is necef fay for the French, before ther can arrive on the territory of the King of Sweden, to violate that of Mecklenburgh and Pruffia, it is fuppofed that the former Duchy will be alfo occupied by them. Under Inch an expettation, the Duke and his family have removed their molt valuable effeas to Stettin, in Pruffia. •A rumour is at the fame time current, that the Emperor of Ruffs has offered to fend ao,ooo men as a fueeour to his Swedifh Majefty, but that the King of Pruffia has remooftrated againft the de barkation of Ruffian troops upon the German ter ritory.

The fleet will confift of the Lady Caftlereagh, the Preflon, the Europa, and probably the Tigris." We are happy to find, that the Ratement in one of the American Papers, of a fever being prevalent en board the Britith fquadroo at New Providence, is contradicted in the New rod Daily Afv_ilifer of the 27th of Auguft. By the hit Litton Mail, letters were received from Cadiz to the 17th ulr. From one of theft we make the following extra& :—" In this country we (hirer much, both from ficknefs and earthquakes ; but, thank Goo, this city is better off than any in the neighbourhood. Near Grenada, fuch has been the violence of the earthquakes, that three villages, which contained each nearly Soon inhabitants, have been almoff buried, about ten houfe.: in each only having remained Banding.

L 471 AFFAIR OFF BOULOGNE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. DEAL, OCTOBER 11, 1804. Several of the criticifms on the official letter of Lord Kura, relative to the late affair off Boulogne, appear to be calculated not only to iniflead the public opinion, but to create jealoofy and difirufl in a quar ter where the molt perfed cordiality and unanimity Ihould always prevail. The Editor of a Morning Paper affeas to regret the omiffinn of the name of the Officer who is fuppofed to have aided the Civil En gineer with his profeffinnal talents; but it will be recolleEted by the friends of that diffinguithed Of. ficer, that whatever merit he may be entitled to, he will have full credit for, from thofe refpetflable per fans who are bell capable of appreciating his meri torious exertions, and who were prefent on the ma cron ; and as the unitlibming modefty of the Officer alluded to places him beyond the fufpicion of wilting to catch the popular, though tranfient applaufe of the giddy multitude, fo his well known penetration and difcemment mutt evidently point out to him the fuperinr eflimation of the good opinion of his brother Officers. His Panegyrilts would therefore do won to ahftain from the publication of fentiments fo con trary to his willies, and Co inimical to his interelt. [We natl be "bid to hear from this Correfpondent, when any thing occur worthy of being communicated to the Public.] Captain TRILENCF O'Neit, late of the Nielson, is appointed to a command in the Sea Fencibles in Ireland. The Earl of SEFTON has taken the Marquis of STAFFORD'S late houfe, in Arlington. trees. The late excellent regulation with regard to ftrik ing foldiers brings into one's mind an anecdote of a very diminutive officer, who, wanting to chattife a very tall grenadier, could only reach his legs. Upon this the grenadier very gravely took off hi► cap, and. holding it over the youth's head, Paid, " Were Ton not my officer, by J--s I'd extinguith you." The colleitive force of Ireland amounts at this period to 31 ,000 troops of the line 78,000 militia, yeomanry, &c. making in the whole an effeetive army of 129,0c0 risen. The Volunteer Infantry force of the Clunty of Lincoln amounts, at prefent, to 3278 effeetive men. It is now determined, that the alarm.poft. in cafe of the appearance of the enemy on the coat, mall be fixed at Horncaftle. At Woolwich, fotne improvement has been made in the conftrudion of (bells, which, on exploding. difcharge a large quantity of fwan mot in every di. resSion, to the difiance of iso yards from the point at which the (hell Wills. Some experiments have been made on this deftruaive engine with the cleared effeft. At the Review of the Kendal and Lonfdale Vo lunteers, on Sunday fe'nnight, Brigadier General Ount•• was pleafed to exprefs his highell approbation of their appearance and lleadinefs.
