Accounts have been received from Adiniral Dot:Gt.:is, off Boulogne; dated on Sunday tail, at which time there were on the Outfide of the Pier, thirty gun-burgs, twenty-feven tuggers, and ten Cut ters, with leveret praams; ready to put to lea. The Bolton Packet, from Bohm, arrived at Liver pool on Tuelday after noon ; the Captain reports that he paired through the hotnewarfl-bound Jamaica fleet; a ll well, three days before; their arrival, therefore, enay be hourly expelled. S:)rtie of the Prints continue to maintain, that toy the letters from Barbadoes,. it appears that the com bined fleet were flill at Martinique on the Z4th.— The lair letters from Barbadoes are dated on the 2 5th, and that ifland lies fo far, to the windward, that a veal would be three days in working up from Sr. Lucia, in fight of Martinique. Hence it cannot be arcerte?ned that the enemy's fqtiadron was at Mar tinique beyond the zed. The following is one of the Welt letters that has been received: " BA RDADOP S, MAY 2 g.—Ten days ago ten fall of the line and fixteen frigates, to which report fince adds four fail and more, under a Spanifb :Lod French flag, arrived at Martinique: By a letter I have this momeut received froth St. Lucia, dated the eoth, four frigates were then . at anchor at St: Pierre ; two hits eruizing between Martinique and St: Lucia, and the reit of the fleet in Port Royal: Here we are all us.: der martial law, looking molt withfully for the Bti. tifh fleet; which, GOD grant, may arrive before it is too late. - - 61 The embargo is taken off to let the liatbadoes 1 1, by which this goes." -- We have received Dutch Papers to the goth ult. frcm which we have been abT.: to make a few ex traels, but not of much importance. An article from Paris, in one of theft papers, (laces, that i Spa nab brig belonging to the corhbined fleet, had arrived at totircleaux on the t ith ult. from Trinidad, the Captain of which reported, that after a palls& of 22 days the fleet arrived there, took polfeflion of the Mend, and proceeded for Jamaica. Some credit might perhaps have been given to this ftatemeati if we had not received more recent accounts. A LAND AltAllb NAUTRALITY, as formerly there Was a maritime one, is now talked of in the journals publifhed under French influence on the Continent. The mention of fuch a ciriumfiance is no proof that any thing has been atually done. It thews, however, what the Cabinet of St. Cloud alms at. Any thing in the fhape of propofal, negotiation, arrangement, explanation—or by what other name it may be called, gives time to BONAPARTE to ripen new plans. When ripened, he executes them without confulting either h lend or foe. By every negotiation, therefore; he is a gainer. In another column of this paper will be found the official Note of his Excellency the Baton VON HAR DENBERO, to the Swedifh Minifter at Berlin, in which the hutllan Monarch avows his refolution to prevent the lubfidiary treaty with this country, for ag,ooo Swedifh troops, being carried into effelt It is a curious and important document. It is fick ening to hear any of the Powen of the Continent gravely talk of being guided by the interefis of his neighbours. The North of Germany, in the temporary advantage it has derived from the Pruffian protec tion, has doubtlefs the fagacity to anticipate a clofer conflation than neighbourhood with that Monarchy. But has PruMa no doubts as to the performance of any promifcs of France, which may exift as to this nearer relation, or of the term during which the may be permitted to retain the acquifition Yenerday morning his MAJESTY, the Dukes of SUSSEX and CUMBERLAND, and Princeffes AUGUSTA and AMELIA, accompanied by Generals GARTH and FITZROY, took an airing on horfeback, in Windfor Great Park. Her MAJESTY and the Princeffes ar- ZABETH and Matt took an airing to Frogmoic.— hincers SOPHIA took an airing in a landau and four, in Windfor Great Park. His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Csiasoca, we are lorry to hear, has been for Come time confined by time indifpofition. - - -- Monday fe'nnight, his Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Mou e, Commander in Chef of Scotland, arrived at Ayrfrom Rofemount, the feat of WILLIAM FULLANTON, Efq. with whom his Excellency and his Lady, the Countefs of LOUDON and Moeaa, have re tided fence Friday. Mr. Bowei of Cambfifcan, the Provolt, with the other Magiflrates, waited upon his Excellency at the houfe of General M'Keorts, and prefented him with the freedom of the Burgh. At the fame time, the freedom of the Burgh was prefent ed ti General MiKeszta, to Colonel Surros, hi s Excellency's Aid de-Camp, and to Colonel GILLots. The Diamond Rock, which three French (hips of the line bombarded for tome time without effeet, is a rock at the entrance of the harbour of Martinique. It is gatriconed by about TWENTY MEN :I. 4LpERNAT. The public in general are not acqulinted with the nature of the quedion now depending in Plarliament refpeaing thefe Wands. The abolition of fmliggling is thecretezt of thofe ligatures. Could they produce that e ffect, we would alien that the (mailer mutt be preferred to the greater evil ; that the defiruetion of their Conflituti:m would be amply compenfated by the prodigious acceffion to the refources of the em pire; and pioportional advantages might be given them as a reward for their fubmiffione During Lord Noavuls Adminidration, a fimilar intention was held out by the Miniltry, but they were loon convinced of the impolicy of the mature, and abandoned it. Thefe iflands ate made the magazines of commo dities to be fatuggled. jerfey is the depot of Eng Wit manufaeures to be fmuggled into France; Guernfey and Alderney, of FrenCh and Dutch liquors and other, goods; into England. From the profit on thefe the iflands detiste a cunfiderable advantage ; but it is to be obferved that that profit is derived by Britillt fubjelts, and that every advantage of this trade cen ters finally in England. Should Inch ;sterna/regula tions be adopted by the potuer of the Br kills Govern. ment as to deprive the iflandi of that advantage, the praCtice of fmuggling will not be checked ; it will be only diverted into another channel. France it ready to open free ports for the admillion of fmug- Slers ; and thus the profit will be transferred to oar enemies, without the fmalleß benefit to this country. In thefe circumllances it Ought to be ferioufly con fidered whether this is a time to endeavour to ihake the loyalty of a people united to the Crown of Eng land fence the conqueft of it by their anceßors ? Td their attachment to that Crown they have made many facrifices. Jerfey was the lag part of the Englith do minions that furreudered to the regicides in the feventeenth century; nor would the Wand have yield ed, had not the treachery of an Englithman, who commanded one of the fortified ports, admitted the fleet of Admiral BLit Ics. It will be eafily feen that the circuinflaticei of titat Wand are widely different from thofe of the two othets ; but the blow aimed at the conflitutional pri vileges of all unites the inhabitants of all in the fame exertions for the': common fecurity. But even if thole internal regulations fliould be found abfolutely neceffary, cannot the King, who is the head of the Conflitution and the Executive power, fuggeti that necetEty to the States, the Legiflative Bodies of the Mandy and thus attain the objeet without the violation Of their deareff privileges It is expeded that to-morrow the Hottfe of Coro. mots still adjourn for a few days. ih order to give the other Houfe of Parliament fufficient time to forward [he different Billsthat have been fent up to them.-- The Commons will after that meet for the parpofe of expreffing their concurrence with the Lords or their diffent from their proceedings ; and it is fuppofed that Parliament will be prorogued on or about Wed nefday next. • There was a report yefterday ahem the Honk of Commons, that Sir W. Scot.e was to be raifed to tike Peerage, and that a vacancy therelby occurring in the reprefentation for the Univerfity of Oxford, Mr. WINDHAM was mentioned as a candidate, to be oppofed by Mr. DICRXIIIIOII. We merely Rate this as a flying rumnur. Yefterday a Court of Diredors was held at the ERR India Houk, *hen the following Commanders took their final leave of the Court, previous to departing for St. Helena and Bengal, viz. Captain P. Hillier, Euphrates; G. Rata coot, Northumberland. The Court adjourned at &ten o'clock till to-morrow.— The Court of Direaors of the Eel India Company have appointed Mr. Pau., Tars Affihant Civil En gineer at Prince of Wales's Four boats, fitted with a carronade, are Rationed off Chichetter Park, Surer, for the life of the Sea Fencibles, and the proteiftion of that expofed part of the Coati, where, lately, a privateer was teen to cap. tore three wafters, and for the want of a rad to purfue after them, efcaped.

When their Pitussias Maj am es patted on the agth of May by Halberltadt, two young . girls prefented them with a Poem. Upon the copy intended for the Quen was a crown cf green leaves embroidered in Mk, and, in the centre of it, a very rare flower from the Cape of Good Hope, called Strdltrja Resist, with the following irifcription May an eternal youth bloom around you, Strelitzia !" The Qneen of Raussra is of the Houfe of Meek lenburgh-Strelit z. A (porting Clergyman, at a late courting meeting iniWiltthire, produced a dog that' beat the whole county. A Nobleman, who had a great value for the fporto admired the dog much, and wailed to have him. The Clergyman obferved this, and hearing that his Lordfhip had tome church preferments in his gift, was not backward in difplaying his dog.—. He runs well, indeed," Paid his Lorain: 4t Yes," replied the Parton, 44 he does ; but l'll tell your Lordfhip how it is—he is a hungry dog, and runs ' —for a living."—His Lordfhip took the hint, and made the dog his own. Government are taking every poffible means to difcover the perfons who were concerned in letting fire to the Laboratory at Woolwich. The Board of Ordnance has offered a reward of pool. A Procla mation from his Majzsrr is likewile about to be if fued, offering a free pardon to any concerned in this horrid tranfaaion, who will give information of the perfon who aaually fet the place on fire. We under hand great hopes are entertained that the villains will be fpeedily brought to punithment. Sir Ries***.

This dreadful ad mull have been premeditated for tome time, for when the engines belonging to the yard were brought out, they were rendered nearly ufelefs by tour of the brats (crews belonging to the leather pipes being injured fo much, that they would not fctew together. A number of the fire buckets were likewife rendered uaw lets, by being cut, and holes made in them. xfiiLiGENar. ifAiLs This .. ,;4v62 8.6.

The °Nee of this proceeding was an alledged libel, in the form of an hymn or fatirical ballad, ornamented with a defign of a buffiel meafure, and fet to mufic to the tune of Saviour, am* them love a traitor r and alfo to the mufic of "Chevy Chace."'

A boat was immediately manned by tete feamen and foldiers, in the hopes of laving their com rades, but the crew had the Melancholy prof?eill of {being thefe brave fellows fall a fatrifice to their hu manity, and perifh with thofe they endeavoured to refcue.

Mr. T. Howell jumped from the gunwhale, eight or nine feet, on a bar of beach, but it gave way, and conligned him to the deep. Mr. Wymark and Mr. Cripps funk to rife no more. The foldier, from his ability to fwim, would have raved himfelf, but for his humane efforts to Pave the two boys, whom he feized one under each arm, and thus encumbered, combated the waves for tome time, but was at length obliged to abandon the eldeft boy to his fate, that he might redouble his exertions to pre ferve his brother, and this he did by 'lemming the tide, and making confiderable advances towards the fhote, alinoft beyond credibility, but in vain, for his firength being exhaufted, he was compelled to yield him up a 'Mini to the mercilefs element, and mull bitniell inevitably have perifhed, had not a boat ar rived jolt in time to lave his life ; as it did that of Mr. R. Howell, who had fuftained himfclf upon an oar. When taken into the boat he was to all appear ance dead; but, on being placed acrofs one of the feats, he vomited a confiderable portion of water, and hewed fymptoms of life.

This un happy delinquent was convicted at the Old Bailey Sellions in May lag, of littering a forged 51. note, with intent to defraud Mr. Rhodes, holier, in Oxford. greet, and the Bank. Previous to the awful mo ment that terminated his exiftence, his behaviour was penitent, and when on the fatal platform he appear ed to fed aMt fade of his dreadful lunation. He was cleanly dreffed, and bowed to the fpeetators, many of whom exprelred emotions of compaaion at his un timely end.
