The pailiculars which v c laid before the Pub; lic, refpeding the fi:izare of the Fame, Jerfey pac ket, have been contradided by fume of our fellow- Journalifts. It is not neceffary to inform our Readers that oar fources of intelligence are as correft as our principles are impartial •and difin terefted. It is now the fpirit of fomc hired writers to call difaffefted all thofe who doubt the upright intentions of our late enemies. We with to leave them in poireffion of their triumph in the glories of France. We (hall never be deterred from Rating fads, althougt we may fubjed ourfelves to the contradiction If Minitlerial or Oppofition Papers. We have received Rill farther confirmation of the literal ti uth of our ftatement refpeding the conduit of France in this refped ; and we chal lenge our opponents to difprove one tingle part of our affertiolis. The Deputy from the Chamber of Commerce is returned from Paris to Jerfey, with little hopes a the releafe of the fhip or cargo. The Fame, in deed, has bccn obtained On bail—but the cargo remains at Cherbourg. Unchecked in this at of aggreffinn, the French have proceeded to other ;Jets of holtility. We are informed, that a velfel bound to Guernfey has been feized by the French Niacin's, on her pile. Of all the particulars of this event we are not yet fo fully informed as we are of the former. But fo high are the hopes of the Cherbourg Officers of enrich ing themfelves by thefe predatory excurfions, that ,three new patacbes are building in that port. We obferved, before, that all vetfels bound to Jerfey and Gvernfey, from Southampton, or the Port, to the Eaftward, pars through the Race of Alder ney, within much lefs than four leagues from the French coati, and will therefore be liable to fei zure. Alderney itfelf is within that fpace. Our hovering ad never extends to thefe necef fary voyages; elk we have an equal right to feize all velfels palling through the Straits of Dover, with any articles of French manufacture. Yetlerday a failor belonging to the Adventure brig, lately funk near Brighton, was brought up for examination to the Manfion-houfe, having been apprehended on Sunday hit at Deal.

Advice was yefterday received in town, of the Captain of the (hip fuppored to have been wilfully funk at Brighton, being apprehended at Harwich, on board one of the packets, as it was failing on Sunday for Holland. His name is Codling. The circumftances of his apprehenfion are thus related l in a letter from Harwich, dated Auguft t S : " This day at noon, during the time the packet boats were tacking about to get out of the harbour, for Cuxhaven and Holland, a perfon arrived ex prefs from London, and went to the Agent's OP five to examine the names of the pafTengers that were entered yefterday to go over ; but the name did not appear, which he raid was not material, as he knew the man. Ile brought down with him a warrant, which he got the Mayor to back. He then requefted the agent to lend him a Poll Office Jack ; and if he would go with him, the comman ders of the packet-boats would pay more attention to the bufines. The agent did accompany him in a boat with Six oars, and hoifted the colour, which was not noticed for fume time after fhe put off; but j aft before the packet-boats got out of hai hour, the boat was noticed, and got on board the packet boat bound to Cuxhaven ; but the man was not found there. The boat then went to the packet boat bound to iiolhind, and feitnd the man laid down in the bed place in the cabin, from whence he was taken, put into the boat, brought on fhore, and lodged in the gaol till he is fent to London, which will be to-morrow.
