The projeeted attack upon Boulogne has not been carried into effea, owing to an unexpeCted fquall at the very moment when every thing was ready for the attcmpt. The fleet has, in confequence, returned to the Downs. The HECLA has tcwed into the Downs the Sagit tarius, which flic picked up on the night of the xtft init. off Boulogne, full of water. She was prevented from finking, and the crew raved, by Sir SIONSY Slurries plan of lining with cork, in imitation of thr. Life-boats. DrAL,NOVIVIBER 24.

W. It is reported that Sir SYD NEY loft his gig with fourteen of his bell men, being drove on (bore on the enemy's coaft, and made pri• liners." DOVER, NOVEMBER 23. " Arrived in the Roads this morning the Lord Keith cutter from off Boulogne : the left our fqua dron laa night. I hear by her that on Thurfday night Come 111.211 s and rockets were thrown at the line of gun bliss outfide of Boulogne harbour, but with out doing much damage to them : they have each a cable leading to the (bore, and can be hauled on the main, thruld an attempt be made to board them. " Owing to the unfavourable wind that has pre vailed ever fince Sir SYDNEY SMITH'S fquadron fail ed from hence, a regular attack could not be made, and I fappofe will not now be attempted, at halt for Come time to come, as the fhips this morning quitted Boulogne Roads, and are now (landing over for this coat. lam informed that out of the ten launches which went away from here with the fleet, only four are come back, as the gun brigs which had the re mainder in tow were obliged to cut them adrift, be ing unable to work o•tt of Boulogne Bay with them *Rem, the wind being right on the fhore, and a heavy fea feting in.

NOVFI4I3F2 24. 6 6 Arrived in the Road., from the French coaft, the Fcatlefs, Manly, and Firm gun brigs ; alfn the Sceptre armed flip. Sir SYDNEY SNITH'S fquadron has come into the Downs." ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. Never was expectation more alive to fuceefs ; never were arrangements better calculated to enfure it, than in our fquadron on Thurfday laft ; that evening being deftined for the grand attack. A finer day for preparation could not have (hone ; the fea was fnooth as glaft ; the wind in the very quarter that was moil to be defied, blowing a gentle breeze from E. N. E. At noon, the gun brigs, and rocket launches in tow, flood to the Northward, and an chored a•breafl of Ambleteufe, jail at (hell•range, it baring been determined that tl , ey fhould run down along the enemy's line, lying in the road, at night ' fall, with the laft of the ebb. By half pan four, P.M. every thing was completely arranged on board the gun brigs and rocket launches, under the immediate infpation of Mr. CoNceays, who is the inventor of this new fyftem of bombardment, as it may fairly be called. Upwards of a thoufand !bell and carcafe rockets were fixed in the frames from which they were to be fired in vollies—the fbell•rockets, at a low angle intended to be poured into the French brigs at an chor; the cat( AfJ-rockets, each carrying as much :wee comjofitioa as is fired in one stood by ani eight-inch mortar, at 5" of elevation, were to be refereed for -throwing into the baron. Thy trains were laid that were defined ,to pour them, by hun dreds in a volley on the devoted vetfels of the enemy. About eight o'clock, the Admiral went over theiide the ANTELOPE, to move his flag on board the Di- Ltoracs Hoop of war, in which Intel, as the draws but little water, and is armed with ten 24 -pounders on a fide, the gallant Sir Stott EY meant to lead the attack in perfon. Never was more ardour or enthu fiafm difplayed than at that moment by all ranks., More than a hundred armed boats followed the Ad miral to the DI tin ENC e, cheering him with reiterated demonarations of their ardour for the contea ;which, though every one felt mutt have been fuccefsful, yet every one knew mutt be dearly purchafed ; feeing that the enemy were fully aware of our meditating the attack fnr that night, and had been heating his furna ces for red-hot fhot, not only from one end of the Ba' 1 , to the other, but even on beard every one of the gun brigs. " The evening was (till every thing that could have been wilhed, and a little after eight the Signal was given for the bomb-fhips trt open in the Bay as the pre lude to the attack; the etre& was truly fublime and every h cart now beat with accumulated hope. The Admiral's flag was now flying on board the Ds Li °secs—the fignal was made for the gun brigs to lead in, and they were aaually under weigh, head ed by the Admiral Limfelf. AU was yet well ; but karcely bad the line got under weigh, Scarce ly was the firft volley of rockets difcharged, when, on a fudden, the wind fhifted round to the North weft, and in an inftant blew a gale. Every one who has been in Boulogne Bay knows what mutt have been the immediate confequence : from the fmootheit furface, the molt agitated furl came tumbling in upon ns. The la►geft veffel of the fquadron were in imminent danger of going afhore, and the fmaller ones were rolling gun-wale to. Vilory was in a moment fnatched from our grafp. The Admiral was molt reluctantly com pelled to annul the fignals of attack—the bombard. ment ceafed—fuch of our (Lips as were under weigh were with difficulty towed off the (pore —many that were not, were compelled to flip their cables. The confufion became general—falfe fires were burning in all direCtions—the armed boats were hurrying back to the veffels, and many of them conftrained to take (bolter in the firft Ship they could make. In a (hilt of wind fu unexpected and fu violent, it is not difficult to conceive the damage that has been fultained in the fmaller craft, and in he apparatus belonging to them. What the extent of it is, we are yet ignorant, as the gale increafing in the night, and blowing hard all day yefterday, the fquadron is yet difperfed. Three of the launches, however, are known to have gone down, but without the lots of any lives. It is but too much to be feared, that fo mrch damage has been received, that the operation cannot be renewed on the fame kale this year. One good effeet, however, has re fulted : that every man in the fquadron, and every one of the enemy too, it is believed, who witneffed the commencement of the attack, is fatisfied that the deftrudion of Boulogne may yet be accomplifhed, when the elements are not againft us." Saturday morning his MAJESTY, Princeffes Au. cusia, SOPHIA, and Anistta, attended by Lady WIN YARD, General Fyn soy, and Col. TAYLOR. rode on horfeback to Holyport. Her MAJESTY and the other Princeffes, took an airing in a coach and four by Wingfield. On Saturday night the Duke of CAMBRIDGE arrived at Windfor from London.

Extraordinary efcape of the AGANsiewow, Sir ED WARD Bum previous to the Battle of Trafalgar : From the moll authentic documents we have this in • telligence—That on the morning of the loth of Otio her, at half paft three, off Cape Finiflerre, Sir ED. WARD BERRY, in the AGAMEMNON ? difcovered eight fail to windward; at four, one of them bore down towards the /toasts anon. The private night fignal was made, but not anfwered. Sir EDWARD therefore kept his courfe, S. by W. full, and with all fail let except nodding fails. At day light the private fignal was made, but not anfwered. The fiat flip that bore down was Conn difcovered to be a three-decker, with five !hips of the line, two frigates and a brig, evidently French. The three-decker was within gun (hot at day-break, and crowded all fail to get along fide the AGAMRMAOI4, as did the 130 gun (hip, which was on her lee quarter. There being a butt of water before the breaft of each gun, Sir EDWARD ordered them all to be flatted, and the ca&s thrown over board, to be clear for battle. At nine the AGAIRam• sow gained upon the three-decker, but the So gun (hip neared the Apats ',mom. Sir EDWARD deter mined ant to keep away, and could not tack without the certainty of a broadlide from the three-decker, and being raked by the 8p gun (hip when in flays, he therefore kept the (hip heady in her courfe, furling the top-gallant fails, and hauling down the (lay-fails in the fqualls and felting them occafionally. At ten the So gnn (hip gained upon the Acramistmon, he therefore ordered the weather quarter boat to be cut away, and ran out the flern chafers: . At eleven the French Admiral r elin q uithed the chere, and called in the 8o gun (hip, when each hoifled the colours of ' their nation; and loon after Sit'EDWARD came within fignal of the As/taste frigate, the Hon. Captain Bouvasix, to whom he communicated what had happened ; but this extraordinary manoeuvre wild be more fully explained when Sir EdWARD BR UT's let ter to his glorious Chief !hail be 'publifhed. The chafe continued the fpace of 7o miles by the log. fLfgATRE ROYAL, COPENZGARDEN. SATURDAY FYFNINC. Mrs Wow', the infant Rofcia, a chiid who cot• fetredly potlares extraordinary talents for seing, and is indeed a prodigy for her years, made her 6r& ap. pearance in the charaeer of Pegg:, in the Countr .) Gk.', but was repulfed in fuch a manner as, wkbe. litre, will exclude her future appearance, at Teaft for tome 'rears, timid the continue to be trained to the drama. We were extremely (ruck with the I wonderful prematurity of this infant's abilities, whofe age is nut apparently more than (even years ; her voice is very powerful and ml:flea' ; her manner is li rely and comic, and her proper conception of th e character the played, for Such a child, perfectly en. chanting. Two circumftances contributed, however. to the misfortune of her debut : the was the only good performer on the Itage ; her companion aeon and aarefs played in fuch a manner as to lease her nnfupported, and even to increafe the ridicule of the fcene. A circumflance ftill more powerful was-the invincible incongruity of her appearance with the charaeer. Unlefs the audience had thut their eyes, it was impoffible, with any perfeeicn of atiting, not to -be revolted at the extravagance of love being made to a child'of feven years. This ludicrous is confiflency Struck the houfe powerfully, and the ge neral feeling was either difapprobation or ridicule.— Some of her admirers, however, in trying to fup prefs the hifling, called to have her turbulent enemies turned out. This expreffinn, unfortunately, caught the child's ear, when the made an appeal to th; bottle. The words " turn out" occurring in her little addrefs, raft the die againft her, and the up. roar obliged her to be withdrawn. We are forty for for perfonal difappointment of Mifs MUDIE : we think her talents aftonithing, and if they ripen with her advancing years, the may one day be the ornament of the Rage. But we are not in the leak furprifed that the public are now tired of infantine wonders on the ftage : and efpecially when no [mall influence ap. pears to have been ufed to co-operate with this change of take, we are not furprifed that a child did not Inc. ceed, who is, with all her abilities, too young for public appearance. We hear on the authority of a letter from Munich, dated the ad init. that a ftrong Gallo•Bavarian corps had, by a circuitous march, turned the important pals of Schatnitz in the Tyrol. It is alto mentioned, that a body of Ando ian troops carried into Bohemia by the Archduke FERDINAND had made a foccefsful incurfion into the neighbourhood of Herfchaw, and taken 400 prifoners. Saturday night a further refpite, of 54. days, was fent to Newgate, for John Burrows, (now under fen. fence of death for forgery) to be computed from the cspiration of his former refpite. John Atkins, a prifoner confined under a Secre tary's Warrant for near two years pad in the county gaol of Dublin, was Lail Thurfday liberated by C.W WALL, Efq. High Sheriff off the county, conform* bly with the detire of his Excellency the Loan Laan• TENANT. On the s rth inft. the three Stirling Companies of the Loyal Stirling and Falkirk Volunteers, com manded by Lieut. Co`.. RIND, had a grand field day. when they fired three vollies at the Crofs at twelve o'clock, in honour of the molt glorious victory ob. taied by his Majetty's fleet under the command of the ever to be lamented Lord Nai.soe, who fell in the honeof vidory on the 2 tit of October. Imme diately after, the Officers Non commitfioned Offi cers, and Privates, with the molt noble fentiments of regard for the widows and orphans of their brother Britons, who fell in the above glorious ation, nnani• moufly fubfcribed one day's pay for their relief, as a (mall tribute of their affeEtion. In the evening Pro volt GLA”. with his ufual loyalty, invited the Offi cers of the Corps, with all the other Military Men in the vicinity to celebrate this glorious vietory, in the Council Chamber when many loyal toalloiere drank, accompanied with appropriate tones from the band of the corps. The town was brilliantly illuminated on the occaflon. Mr. W.
