Wednefday, after the Duke of KENT had dined at Gloucefter Lodge, at Weymouth, his Royal Highnefs, accompanied by Prince ADOLPHUS, walked to the Q ... nay to meet his Royal Parents and Sifters, from their aquatic excurfion. Soon after eleven o'clock on Thurfday, their MAJESTIES and the Peuicassits, with their Royal Highneffes the Duke of Kant, and Prince ADOL PHUS, and their ufual party, went on board the Possum sE, where they partook of an elegant de fame, given by the Commander, Lord A. &au- CIARC ; they were entertained with feveral fa vourite airs by the bands belonging to the regi menu of Scotch Greys, Staffordßure and Berkilure Militia.

Report Rates, that BONAPARTE had been at Boulogne, in perfon, the day before the bombard ment, but had left it in the courfe of the evening. Letters from Milan (peak of an stlarmihg mu tiny which took place in the garrifon of Turin, on the 9th of July, in confequence of a difpute about the payment of arrears of pay due to the troops. Several tortipaniesrefufed to march froth the place till thefe arrears were difcharged ; the confequence of which was, that a violent tumult enfued, fome lives were loft, and Along the reft the Comman dant of the citadel a as killed.—GeneralCoLcz was appointed to the provifional command, but when thefe accounts were fent off, it does not appear that tranquillity was completely reftored. A private letter front Conftantinople, of the sgth of June, (laces fome interefting particulars refpea ing the affairs of Egypt, The whole attention of the Government is at pretent occupied in prepara tions for the adtniniftration of that important pro vince, the fpeedy recovery of which, from the fqc cefs already experienced, they anticipate with the utmoll confidence. The particular details of the affair of El-Hanka had not been received, but it was known that Manov, apprized of the march of the GRAND Vivre of the arrival of the Englifh forces at Suez, and of the approach of the com bined body of Turks and Englifh, difpatched sOOO Dien on the agth of April, to reinforce the corps of Rhamanie, and to put it in a fi tuation to com mence ofienfive operations. After this junition, the French force, confining of about goon men. betides an almoft equal number of auxiliary forces, formed of Copts and Greeks, proceeded to attack the army of the Viz: sa, which vigoroufly fuftain• ed the (hock, and, after a sharp attion, fucceeded in compelling the French to take refuge in the forts and citadel of Cairo. This place, after the anion, was raid to be kept in a nate of clofe block ade by the troops of the V izt sit, joined by the di vition of Colonel SP Emcee, and the troops of the Cepitan Pas mambo had mounted the Nile with his flotilla. It is mentioned that in the battle of the of March, the dreadful carnage experienced by the left wing of the French army, was in a great degree afcribable to the orders iftued by General Mswou on the morning of the battle, by which RlONial and DAN•N were d from their command. The inundation of e re ui c e o d untry in the neighbourhood of Alexandria, is Rated not to have been prodative of the end propofed. The cir comflance of Mseou's hrrndifpatched soon men from the camp at Ale xandria to the relief of the corps at Rhamanie, appears indeed to be a pretty conclulive proof that the meafure has failed in the wilhed-for fuccefs. The city of Alexandria will, however, it is alledged, be expofed to com plete deßruitios, if before the month of Septem ber the Englith army does not repair thole cifterns crow which tt anaellyreains the meter! lopply of water.

Yefterday the Recorder and Aldermen again met at Guildhall, for the purpofe of proceeding farther in the hearing of objeitions againft the It- Irration of infplvent debtors who have complied with the terms of the late Infolvent At. The dif charge of one prifoner was refitted on the ground that a creditor was ready to (wear to a debt con traaed fince the in of March. It was allowed by the Cotinfel that tic) detainer was.lodgcd againll the prifoner, but he endeavoured to apologife for this by remarking that he was not in fat worth powder wafted The Cotinfel for the .prifoner infilt ed much in behalf of his client, on the (core of no detainer being lodged ; and he facetioufly enough remarked, that there was no proof that the credi tor really did confider his client as not worth pow der ase/ihot fince he had evinced the contrary by employing bounfel. who had no doubt received hisfee. After , hearing all the arguments fully, the Court ruled that a claim might be made, and ob jeftions might be urged againd the difcharge of a', prifoner without a detainer being lodged, or with out having fworn to the debt previous to making the objettions. The Court alto ruled, that perfons in cuftodyby the decifion of the Court of Confcience, are not en titled to the relief provided by the At. The Rev. T.

One of the hired armed cutters arrived in the Downs this morning from Lord Ns sor's fleet off Boulogne ; and by this veffel a letter has been re ceived from an Officer on board one of the (loops of war, who was an eye witnefs of the bombard ment on the 4th; particulars of which he Rates as follows: You still no doubt have heard of our oper ations here before this reaches you, hut as the par ticulars of the action may not have tranfpired, you will receive it herein, which I am happy to for ward, as it clearly fhews how perfeftly fecure from a French Invafion happy Britons are, when de fended by their invincible Navy, under the direc tion of the brave and gallant NELSON. " Our Admiral deemed it proper on Tuefdav lan at four o'clock in the morning, to fend for tl.e five bombs which were under his command, to attack the enemy's gun-veffels then lying in Bou logne Roads, which con fi ned of five brigs, two fchooners, and nineteen lugfail boats, manned with 30 men, and three guns in each veffel. The attack began with a warm fire on both fides, and at eight A. M. I had the pleafure to fee two of the enemy's gun-boats fink from the fire of our bombs, and a brig obliged to cut from her cables, and run for the More, which fhe had fome difficulty to reach, being completely water-logged. We could perceive feveral men landed from this veffel, and put under a fail on the beacl.4fuppofed to be killed. I can affure you that ten of the French gun-veffels 1 1 were deftroyed, and the (laughter of the enemy mull have been great, as we did not ceafe bom barding until nine this evening, when the whole of the French force was completely filenced. u Our bombs have confiderably damaged the Pier-head; they far exceed the Admiral's expeEta tion : and I am happy to add, that only one filen from, the Chore had effed, which fell on board a bomb-veffel, and damaged her rigging. A then from one of our own veffels built in the mortar, and thereby killed a man, wounded another clan geroufly, and three nightly. " There are now lying in the Road 25 fail of the enemy's veffels, and thofe funk have the pre fumption to keep their colours flying juft above the furface of the water," The following was given ont in General Orders by Lard NaLaos after the attack on Boulogne:— Meffisfa, Off Boulogne, Awn! s. 4 , Lord NELSOU has reafon to be ;cry Mnclifa tisfied with the Captains of the bombs, for their placing of the veffels yefierday ; it was impoffible that they could have been better fitnated, and the artillery officers have ffievrn great skill in entirely difabling ten of the armed veffels out of twenty four oppofed to them, and many others, Lord Nsi.son believes, are much damaged. The Com mander in Chief cannot avoid noting the greet zeal and defire to attack the enemy in a alofer and different combat, which manife iled itfelf in all ranks of perfons, and which Lord Nst.son wotdd gladly hare given full fcope to, had the attempt at this moment been proper; but the Officers and others may rely, that an early opportunity all be 7,iven'them for fhewing their judgment, zea? and bravery.

Veilerday the CHARLOTTE tender, formerly at tached to Admiral GRNME, Commander in Chief of this Port, but now to Lord Nessos, in re turning from the Befchermer Dutch floating bat tery, Captain FRAeea, flationed near the Middle Sand to guard the Swin Paffage, was taken pof feffion of by about thirty Dutch prifoners, who have for fome time been employed as Volunteers by Rear-Admiral Row Lay, in fitting out the fhips at Chatham, and were on their return to that place, having jull completed the Befchermer.— The manner they effected their plan was, that when the Tender had got out of fight of the Alp, the tide coming againtt her, obliged the Mailer to conic to an Anchor : while his men were bulled in furling the fails, and himfelf forward keit% the cable run out, there fellows knocked him down, broke open the arm-chefl, and poffeffed themfelves completely of the veffel. In the night they got her under weigh, but for want of knowledge as pilots, they ran her aground on the Eaft Barrow Sand, where eleven of the molt determined of them, after cutting the Tender's rigging, got into a four-oared boat (the only one belonging to her) and pufhed off for either the coaft of Holland or France. Theoveffel and all thofe that the boat could not carry, are again in this harbour. The ALKMAAR hofpital fhip is getting under weigh at the Nore for the Downs, to accommodate fuch men as May be hurt in Lord NELSON'S at tacks of the French Coaft.

A Letter, dated la LOIRE, off Havre de Grace. Anglia 3d, fays Laft Wednefday evening alarmed us a good deal. We had molt tremen dous fqualls, and thunder and lightning. The whole horizon was quite a continued blaze. By accounts we have heard from the fiffiermen, much rnifchief has been done afhore. A few days ago a French man-of-war's boat was outfid: of the Pier, with feveral officers on board. They were chafed by la LOIRD'S boat, and very narrowly efcaped. The fquadron are fending in two veffels which were going into Havre : one a fchooner, laden with preferred fruit. And what we have detained is an American fhip, called Frederick, from New York ; her cargo is tea, coffee, &c."
