Se PT. t 6.—1 am within a gun fhot of the town of Boulogne. There are two brigs, One fchooner, and ten gun-boats in the road; the other boats are in, and from the appearance and fituation in which fosie of them lie, they mull have been damaged by the late bad weather. The camp,as we calla, is no more than a,few very ftrag gling tents and marquees, evidently fet up there in confequence of our attempts having made it neceffary to throw up additional batteries. The ducat of invading from hence is contemptible— more than double the force now here was employ ed in the attack of the little Iflands of St. Hereon ' tvhen Lieutenants Pities and Boutin', with Refs than aoo men, defeated it. OCT. t.—The whole blockading force returned here laft night, being driven in by ftreng wefter)y 1 , gales. I looked into Boulogne on Tuefday morn ' mg. The whole force of the enemy was then out; it contifted of twelve brigs, one fchooner, and 11 launches, on board the entire of which the inge nuity of man could not embark too° men in the Smell weather. The number of tents and mar quees amounted only to 48, and, from their ftrag gling petition, were evidently only meant to ac commodate the men necelTary to man the addi tional batteries, which they found it expedient to ere to prevent our attacks. On the evening of Tuefday.l again looked into Boulogne, and they had hauled the whole flotilla in again, with the , ception of one brig, which was aground. From ros ' , precaution againft bad weather I am con r.t med in my opinion, thlgabcy fuffered materially Lcfore.

Cortirr-Gtantc—After an abfence of revert years, Mrs. BILLINaTON made her re-appearance on the boards Of this theatre, on Saturday night,in the character of Maeda* in Artaxerxes, and; nos withitanding thelanguage of anticipation had taken fuch fublime flights, (he adually loft nothing by meeting a molt critical audience. In truth, not only her' voice but her ilyle, both of aging and tinging, is greatly improved by Rudy and travel.' Moll of her longs were encored, and indeed the ap plaufe the received throughout her performance. wee enthufialtic. The mcm.nt the f)mphony of the air of The Solder tired of guar's alarms, began, the Audienc e burg into aof of applaufe, as if it bore fome relation to the happy reflora tion of Peace. At the end of the &ft ad flit introdubed a bravura, compofed by BIANCHI, di the compofition of which we do not profefs ourfelves any very great admirers, but the exe cution of the finger was aflonifliing. The other performers, (landing on comparative ground, though refpedable, particularly ImcLEDON, did not excite all that attention in the audience which we think their exertions merited.—Mrs. BIL LINOTON was, as our Readers remember, getting rather en bon point before (he went abroad, but her perfon now inclines even to corpulency, which operates fomething as a drawback upon her ap parasite as a heroine ; the, however, treads the Rage with confiderable dignity, and her features do not yet exhibit any traces of age.—She made a con dition with the Managers that her brother, Mr. WsicHseLL, (hould lead the band on the nights of her performance; This may contribute to that emulation which is the fource of improvement.— Mr. WE ICHSELL difplayed very fine talents: he gave to the overture a force and beauty the moll impreffive, and he led the opera with great fpirit and tafie.—The houfe was extremely crowded in all its parts; and the boxes, having all been taken for feveral days, the audience was particularly elegant. The new Comedy of " Integrity," which is to be produced at Covent-garden Theatre, is a tranf lation from the German. It is very favourably fpoken of by thofe who have affifted at the re hearfals. atuity-LANs.—Mr. Knew.' gave, in his de linealion of Shy/aci, in the Merchant of Ferrite, on Saturday night, the touches of a very fitperi,ir mac ter, particularly in the interview with Tuba/. In the trial fcene he was lefs fuccefsful : in anfwering to his name, when called upon to Rand forth as plain tiff, he delivered himfelf with a furlinefs ill calcu lated to recommend his caufe to the difpaffionee examination of the Judge. The other charaCters were, upon the whole, sokrab&fair. B•ItIYMORE (we notice it as a natreby in that gentleman) was particularly well-drelt as &Ark. WROUGHTON'S Altieftia, and Mrs. Powst.t.'s Forria, both wanted a link Sams Souct.—At this place, on Saturday even ing, a molt refpedable audience affembled to wit neTs the exertions of a man to whom this kingdom is indebted for the prefervation of its tafte in mu fic, and the fimplicity, beauty, and ftrength of the Englifh ballad, both which will be infallibly fhaken, if not deftroyed, from the moment SANS SOUCI finally doles; for there have all thole who rationally exercife their vocal talents found both the fchool and the mailer. The amufement called FriA, has (hewn that genius, through Lidtiftry, may improve with age; fin-, notwithltanding Mr. The ma had -before produced upwards of feven hundred longs, he never, upon the whole, fubmit ted to the public a colleCtion fo Itrongly written and compofed as thefe. There it: fcarcely a long, but has fome extraordinary merit to recommend it, and this is laying no more than was tellified by the whole audience, who loudly easored a large num ber, and would have extended their eagernefs; but it was compromifed by a repetition of feven, hich were, be vino I:lnitial, The hater N, f.iterary Termini :ratio", Near-year'e Day, Father arid I, The Ladies, and /ad et the Opera. It is, perhaps, unknown to the public, though it certainly ought to be related as a wonderful inftance of mental retention, that Mr. Dinotx never writes his mufic till he pub tithes it; and that, at this moment, no tingle note of all that the public heard on Saturday has been committed to paper ; an advantage that perhaps never did, or "can happen to any other mufician The inference is obvious—no country ever en couraged extraordinary abilities to the degree they are encouraged in this; and there cannot be a doubt that, during the remainder of his career, this indefatigable writer, compofer, and performer, will experience every generous and liberal remu neration for his public fervices, which are addi ' tionallv valuable on account of their moral and patriotic tendency. The allufions to the Peace were happy, and fltew with how little difficulty this writer can wren occafion to his purpofe. The heart, however, does much in thefe cafes; and, as Mr. Dismal has (hewn himfelf, in his nautical and other songs. to be a fincere friend to his country, be probably found no difficulty in performing a talk to which his genius and his inclination are fn well fitted; otherwife, one might confider the fol lowing lines, which are an additional verfe to one of his !bags, an extraordinary effort at four-and twenty hours notice : Avaant grim Wu! Sweet Peace is ours, The Hero's nobleß capture; Jay fmillng leads the dancing boars, And Mifery's loft to rapture. Beneath her horn gay Plenty bends, Proud Bards record the quarrel, While in her Temple Fame attends To plate the well-earn'd laurel. Vet but In trult he holds this meed I For fhould his fword his country need, Then he cry, draw out the bands, When drums at diftance rattle, Hark, the charge, honour esennaNde. The trumpet founds to battle! The new Entertainment was given out for this evening amiclit loud and reiterated applaufe. DO'SLIII.OCTOBIR i.

It was intimated to Alderman THOR r k, the late Lord Mayor, that ifhe chore the knout of Knight hood, it would be conferred noun him ; but for pri% ate reafons he begged to be permitted to de cline it. The. Corporation went afterwards in proceffion to the Seffion-hottfe in Green-Breet, where the new LORD MAYOR took" the Oath before ihe Rem*. DER of acheator of 'the Markets, and A. B.

In the evening the LORD MAYOR entertained at dinner his Excellency the Loin LIE L TENANT and Suite, with a vall number of the Nobility, Gentry, and principal Citizens. His Excellency retired fhortly after ten o'clock. Monday his Excellency the Loan LIEUTENANT was pleafed to confer the honour of Knighthood upon the late Sheriff FsaNs. Yeflerday General Dommx commenced his in fpedion of the Yeomanry corps of the county of Dublin, with the Upper Crofs Fuzileers, corn. manded by that very worthy and fpirited officer, Sir JOHN WHITE. The corps appeared in their new uniform, fully and ter viceably clothed and ac coutred, according to the recent orders of Govern• ment. We are happy to have it in our power, on the authority of the Pbvticians of the Difrenfary, to inform the public, that the report relative to the elifience of the yellow fever in Liverpool, is alto gether without foundation. The dyfentary has been exceedingly prevalent, and has been the prin. cipal caufe of the late unufital mentality; but this difeafe is on the dccline.—Liv:rtooi ildvertyer. Friday morning, as a boy was playing on the chain of a brewer's dray. in Manchefler-fireet, from which the honks had been taken, it unfortu nately upfet, and the boy's thighs were broken in confequence. Friday a gentleman's horfe took fright in torn hill, and by a fitdden motion threw him out of tho fiddle, by which he was much broiled, but fortu nately had no bones broken; the animal then took his courfe clwwn Bithopfgate-tireet, where he took the pavement, overiet tome frnit•harrows, and knocked down two partengers, neither of whom were materially hurt : the - horfe was here with difficulty fecured, and reflored to the owner. Lail week the daughter of Air. Blades, of Bain ton, near Stamford, was fo imprudent as to point a loaded gun at a young woman c.f the name of Peafgood, which going off at the inftaut, the un fortunate girl received the whole contents in her arm. She is in a fair way of recovery. On Saturday fe'nnight a man, named Taylor, of Slatethorpe, near ‘Ventnorth, na..tun over by the mail coach. The hnrfes and coach paffed over his body, and injured him fo much as to oceafion his death within 24 hours. The misfortune was owing to the rapidity with which the coach was going. A few days fence, a man of the name of Savage, a lamplighter belonging to the Ward of Cripple gate, was thrown from off his ladder by a hand truck running againti it, by which accident he re ceived a violent contufion on the head: he was taken to St. Bartholomew's hofpital, where he langui(hed till Wednefday, when he expired. Thurfday night, about ten o'clock, as Mr. Howson, of Bread-ftreet, Cheapfide, was return ing to town in a poll-eh:life, he was flopped pear the Bird cage, Stamford-hill, by a tingle high. wayman, who took from him (even guineas. A few evenings fence a filly fervant maid, in care of a gentleman's houfe, at Walworth, was enticed out of the houfe by a fmart genteel looking young man, who kept her in talk for near half an hour, and then parted with her. On her return to the houfe, the found the beds (tripped of all the fheets, and pillow-cafes, and various other articles to a large amount. The thieves are yet unknown. Yefterday morning a terrible battle was fought near the White Hart public-houfe in St. Gikc; upwards of one hundred perfons of both relies were engaged In the affray. It lafted above an hour, but though it was attended with moch bloodflied, no lives were loft.

ASTRONOMY.—Citized Lax•ans has addreffed the following note to the Editor of the Munk:sor : 4 , The Aftrologers alarmed Europe in 1186. by announcing a conjundion of all the planets, which WAS to occafton very extraordinary ravages. I mentioned the circurnftance in the preface to my Agronomy ; but I was anxious to afeertain whe ther this rare and fingular phenomenon occurred in the carafe of that year. Citizen Fuse's moors, an afociate of the Inilitute, and a zealous Aro mouser, took the trouble of making the requifite calculations; and the refult was, that on the 15th September, 1186, all the planets were compre hended within from 6 firs, to 6 figns so degrees of longitude. This, hovftzer, was not an clad conjunEtion ; but p.rhaps Many thoufand • may elapfe before they again fu nearly al mate each other." iA d years ippt ox-
