The conrcious fecurity in which the whole of this coati, for above fluty miles, now reports, is a further proof that invafion is much lets formidable in appre henflon here, where the whole defence by lea is but a /rigors and a retintw water, and by land not thirty guns on all the batteries from Shoreham to Eaft Bourne; when on the oppofite coaft of France, for Wore than the fame diftance, there is a continued chain of batteries.

The attack is to be concluded by the (mall vefels be. longing to our fquadrons and the tea-fencibles, and the refinance to be made by the different encamp ments, in which the light artillery is particularly to be brought into adion. The divifion of French gun-boats, prams, flat bottomed boats, and other armed vetfels of the grand armada, blockaded by our (tips in the mouth of the Seine, and its the road of Havre, made teems! at tempts, during lafi week, when the heavy gales forced our blockading rquadron from the Coati, to get to the Eaftward—bet Captain Chivas kept fetch a good look out, that they had hardly advanced a league, before the appearance of foam of our fri gates under his command forced them to put back again. Tburfday fenoight the Trades' Battalion Glafgow Volunteer Regiment was paraded oa the Green, in order to be relieved from permanent duty, the period for which they were engaged (thirty days) being ex pired. Lieut.

This day after the races, Mrs. Thornton mounted upon rat:arias, took an exerclfing gallop of four miles. She was dreffed in mazarin blue, and More a neat black jockey cap, looked very well, and was in high fpirits. She went off in a canter, fat her horfe amazingly tight and (nog ; at times put him to the top of his (peed, winded him, and (hewed that Ilte had all his powers perfeßly in her command. All the knowing ones were aftonifhed at the ftyle in which the performed her gallop, and declared it equal, if not fuperior to any Cbiffney or Buckle of Newmarket celebrity. Unfortunately, when within about three diftances of being home, the (addle girths gave way, and file came with confiderable violence to the ground. Yon cannot conceive the intereft we take in our fair equeftrian. or the anxiety which her fall produced among there who witnefed it. I am happy, however, to alum you, that the did not (of tails the Bight& injury. Being a (mart, salve clef tic figure, the recovered her feet in a moment, did not ismer in the leaft alarmed, made light of the tumble, and walked from the coerce in the fame good fpirits with which the came npon it. She will 'scr ag Apia to-snorrow, when, no doubt. every poffi ble care will be taken to prevent the TKUTICIICt of a fimilar accident. Indeed. I hope we (ball hays no redo' to regret this circumftanee, as it may prove the means of preventing the like•on the day of trial, when loch a mithap would be more ferious. And now. Sir. to come tee that which appears the grand Plume of coriofity and intereft among many of your filly contemporaries. " The (porting Mrs. T. is to ride four miles in kreijias breeches," " Ow is to ride in des," " the is to ride like a awe." Such are the; effuboaa of your fcribblers. whofe Pegafus is so bet ter than a jack-ifs, who ridicule that fpitit is a we man, which they do not theittelves pads ; and can- i not believe, while they (tumble along Rotten-row, trembling for their lives, upon a fpavined, lazy hack, that a Lady could have courage to commit !meal( to the back of a firft-rate racer. To put, then, all there filly queries at ten, know that Mrs. T. sines not wear buck thins or doe-tkins, and that (he rides afmk. Is thews a great depravity of title, when that fpirit, which was admired in our female anceftors, and formed a diftinguithing quality of oar good and slo rieui Elizabeth, is treated and received with levity. The betting is now fix to four upon Mrs. Thornton, and, I think, will be probably more in her favour, before Saturday. Indeed the flew, to ufe a tailor's phrafe. is likely to prove i deg, and, I think, will not go 'itch over the courfe, as he at firft expetted.— If I be not much miltaken, he will bite the Mille as well as his horfe. This city, and every Gentleman's bottle in its vicinity, are now as full as they can hold. Should more company come, I know not where they can be accommodated. Every part of the kingdom appears to have furnifhed its quota. I own lam not furprifed at this refult. It required all the (Lathing talents of Colonel Thornton, which are ever contriv ing fomething new with which to attend,' the (port ing world, to make fo extraordinary a match ; and in no place could the (cene be laid with furl effect as in Yorkthire. Ken:legion Palace is undergoing a repair. The windows are enlarged, and fereral other improve ments are nearly completed. Yefierday the Royal We mouth Mail prefented a fight of fi ngalar beauty. The horfes were decorated with new harnefs and ribbons, the coachman and guard had new cloaths ou, and the whole had a charmiag ace. The difpute between the oifer-iedt on the costa of Effez Rill continues to diflarb the reativo.

On Monday evening, a foot race of 25 rods was run at Faverfham, between the noted BARROWS of that place, and a Gentleman from London, for 5o guineas, which was won by the former, who beat his antagonid half a rod. Caicam—On Monday, the soth intl. was play ed, on Brondey Common, a Match of Cricket, by eleven Gentlemen of Bromley againli eleven Gentle men of Woolwich, which was won by the former by one hand and 64 runs. Yellerday a pugiliflie contell took place in Panton flreer, Hay-market, between a genteel looking man and a groom : they were both fcientific bruiferh and, after fighting upwards of half an hour, the fpetlators interfered, and prevented them from continuing the combat.

The room was crowded at an early hour, and at eleven o'clock, when the ball began, more than boo perfons were prefent.
