At five o'clock this morning an expreib arrived at the Admiralty, with difpatches, containing the parti culars of the attacks made on Calais and Boulogne. They are expe&ed to be given in the Gazette of this evening. In the mean time we (hall (late fuch fartOer cir cumilances as have come to our knowledge refpeeling the attack on the gun-boats, which, we fear, has not done them all the damage we could have withed, owing to the impoffibility ofour velfels following therm in the fhoal water. By a letter which we have received from an Officer on board the fleet, and which comes down to fix o'clock of the night before lafi, we learn that only two of the enemy's boats were driven on !bore. The tremendous firing mentioned in the letters which reached us yefierday, was at Boulogne, as the found of the firing led oar correpondents to conjec ture. The enemy had in that place, from so to 6o gun boats, including, probably, thole which had fail ed the day before from Calais, and which we now learn were 33 in number. It now appears that the bombardment was at !aft impeded, if not Ropt, by fome of our yards running Ihr.rt of gunpowder. This circumilance is mention ed in' our letter, not as indicating any negligence in the previous equipment, but as a neceffary confe quence of the length of time in which they were fo naively engaged with the enemy. We are happy to find that we (offered very little lots, though it appears come of the enemy's artillery was well direded.—One !hell bora on board the LIDA frigate and let her on fire, and yet, wonderful to relate, not a man was hurt by the explofion—the fire was loon extinguiffied. The people on board the Discovsay had an efcape as providential —.-a (hot from the enemy went in at her head and. came out at her bows, and yet no injury was done to the men, who were at their quarters at the time. To prevent any co-operation—indeed to lain the care of watching the French prifoners, Government have ordered them to be removed from thofe places which, in the event of an enemy landing, may re quire peculiar vigilance. Thole confined at Ply. mouth, are in confequence removing to Stapleton prifon, near Bri Rol. -About ago of them were marched from Plymouth the day before yefterday. under an elcort of the Cornifh Militia.

The Ambatrador, it is laid, makes no difficulty of granting thefe paffports. Captain Foes, of the Artillery, is arrived at Broad. llairs to fnperintend the Volunteer Artillery and Bat. eerie,.

Since my la, till this morning, we have all la boured under an ottani) degree of painful anxiety, to,learn the refult of the attack made on the French gun-boats. Two cutters went nut yefterday, for the exprefs purpofe of bringing intelligence. A third, having on board Lord Magma, General SMITH, and fome other Gentlemen, who were defirous of being fpedators of the awful fcene exhibited by a naval anion, or perhaps a bombardment, failed afterwards, to endeavour to afcertain the injury fufiained by oar republican neighbours. I have not been able to learn whether they hive returned ; all I know is, that they had not returned at a late hour Jail night. The con flid, however, feems to have been obflinately main tained : from four till fix o'clock yellerday after noon, the cannonading was brificer and hea4r than any ever remembered by the oldeft inhabitant of this place. 7hr horlfer here flock popeittaty, and the earth a3atally treAkel, notwithfianding the great dif lance. This gives us reafon to think, that fomething important has been achieved; for it is hardly to be luppored, that Britifh {hips of war would keep up fo long and fo continued a fire, without doing confider able execution. By the hafly accounts, however, which 1 have been able to coiled, it does not appear that our fquadrnn has been fo fuccefsful as we could have walled. But this is not owing to any fault of the gallant Officers and feamen employed on the ex pedition. The fquadron, it feems, was not properly prepared for fo long a cooled, and, in confequence of their having expended all their ammunition, the Imstorrat.yrs frigate, a {hip, and a brig, have been fent to join them. The DISCOVARY bomb is juft at• rived in the Downs, having loft all her anchors; but I have not heard the particulars of the injury the has fuftained. HALF PAST ONE O'CLOCK. I have jurt returned from the beach. Two fri gates, one (hip, and the HARPY floop of war, are under way. The haze is fo exceedingly thick, that it is with great difficulty I can difcern feveral fail near the French coaft. Some are of opinion that they are part of our fquadron returning, but as they are at fuch a diftance and little wind flirting, it is impoffible to afcertain whether this be the cafe or not. I have nothing farther to add, except that a (hot from the enemy went in at the Discovear's head, and went out at the bows: the men were at quarters at the time, and providentially none of them fultain ed any injury. It is really wonderful to fee the num. bet of ftrangers who have flocked hither fince yeller. day to hear the iflhe of this bufinefs. They are all big with expedlation, and an:jollity expeß to hear that many of the gun-boats have been funk, burned, taken, or deftroyed. Nothing delights Jots): BULL fo much as to bear of fuch exploits, and on no occa• lion could accounts of a fuccefs of this kind be re ceived with more enthufiaftic joy than at prefent, when we are threatened with it:raison by a defperate and unprincipled foe, to whore unbounded ambition Great Britain is the only country which has ventured to oppofe bounds. A day or two will, no doubt, difpel our uncertainty. OFT sot/Loops, sem aq, sts &twee. I have jull time to inform you, that we have this moment beat the retreat from the fecond very hot &Elko, which we have had fines it o'clock in the morning, agaioft yo or 6o gun boats, two of which have been driven on (bore; our fquadron has fuftain• ed no material injury. The greate4 was occafioned by the hurtling of a (hen, on board the LIDA frigate, but the fire was loon extinguiffied. I have not yet heard whether any people were killed or wounded by it. Yellerday we hal a tanning fight for three hours, with 33 fail of gun boats, but we could not afcertain what damage was done to them. You may &fly form tome idea of the hotnefs of thefe saions, when I inform you that the fquadron has very little am. munition left, and that in the middle of the fira anion this morning, the Aurtista was obliged to barrow powder of the LIDA,. P. S. I have juR learnt that the then which bora on board the Lion, did no injury wltatnver among the people. Adieu. A letter from Guernfey, dated lan Wednefday, fays:-- ,, Our military force at prefent ccmfills of the sth, 43d, and gilt Regiments, the ad and sth Garrifon Battalions : other regiments are expelled in a short time, as great additions are making to the different barracks in the Itland. The Governor, Ge: neral Dorms, is indefatigable in his exertions for put ting it in a proper Sate of defence, and within thefe lad two months, embank-tient', or bulwarks have proceeded rapidly, and will in a Rion time, I have no doubt, render the ifland impregnable, with the af fillance of 150 additional 24-pounders already ar rived, or on their pa:rage. No doubt teems to be entertained of an attack in a (bore time. Soll3e of the Papers mention, that Sir lanes Sausetasz is failed on another expedition—his •Sig is now flying on board the DIONIIII2 in thefe goads. • The frigates on this Ration are cruizing off Cherbourg Ind Gran ville Tthe ALc sues and lirnaa).

Mr. PITT, in company with Lord CARKIVOTON, and three military Gentle men. one of whom was General MOILDAUNT, again infpe&ed the defenfive operations going on here. Mr. PITT gave an order to the 'Volunteer Corps to attend the drills every afternoon at four o'clock. A grand moiler will take place next week, preparatory to a field day of all the Volunteers in the Mind ; viz. the four companies here, two belonging to Ramfg,ate, and one at Broadßairs and St. Peter's. They will, it is Paid, be reviewed by Mr. PITT, who is their Co lonel Commandant. _ _ A cannonading has been heard for the IA three days. We bear this morning that Calais is on fire in feveral places. , A beacon is about to be ere4led at Sarr, near Can terbury. The object of this is to give notice to the furrounding country of the approach of the enemy, fhould they attempt to invade us. Several loads of faggots, barrels of pitch, and other combutlibles, are getting ready for that purpofe. ColonFl GainsAL arrived here on Sunday laft.— He left us the following day, on a vifit to Lord and Lady EDWARD BIPTINCK. at Ramfgate. Mr. Bucti, the brother of the Earl of DAR tiLay, arrived at the Royal Hotel yefterday, from London. The Officers of the Nottingham Militia give a grand ball at Sacker, Ramfgate, to-morrow. Three hundred cards are to be Wiled. Some alarm has been fpread here this evening by the rumours of news from town, which, added to the new and increafing menaces of French invafion, and the arrival of the period to which all thole me• naves have pointed, have combined to excite Come apprehenfions among the fair les, for whole Cafe and fpeedy removal, in cafe of neceffity, arrangements are now making. MUTINEER 29. Lord KEITH, who refides at Stone Honfe, between Kingfgate and Broadaairs, has this day received five expreffes from the fcene of altion. All the men of war have quitted the Downs, and proceeded to cover the bombarding Nuadron. A guard-houfe and magazine is jua commenced by the fort, and is to be completed very &only. Moft of the gateways or openings in the cliffs have within there few days been doled with polls, firong boards, and chalk. Mr. Ptrr is Paid to have given his opinion on Tuef day that the enemy would certainly icon pay us a vi. lit t and thisbecoming public, has caufed much alarm, particularly among the females who believe they ac tually are coming with this thunder of cannon. The diftance from Yarmouth to the Texel is 135 miles • from Harwich to Rotterdam 120; and from the T hames to Flufhing 1 15. The ten frigates fitting out by the Trinity Houle, to be moored acrofs the River in the Lower Hope, are to be manned and found by that patriotic Cor poration. Five of them are now at Greenwich, and five at Woolwich. They are espeded to fail for the Lower Hope in a day or two. The eight guard (hips dellined for the Humber have failed for the Nore, on their way to that river. They are large two-deck merchantmen, and are to be manned and found by Government. They will be moored acrofs the mouth of the Humber, like the block (hips in the mouth of the Thames ; but are tr, be full rigged, that in cafe of parting with their An chors they may be able to bear away. The Glatton, Captain CoLa err, recently arrived from New South Wales, is ordered from the Downs to Woolwich; for the purport of unloading the tim ber brought from that fettlement for (hip building. The Tea ems., of 74. ens, and the ZEPHYR. (loop. are ordered into commilEon ; and the command, given to Lord H. NOLET and C aptain GRAHAM. The field-works on the Eallern Difiria of London are already commenced ; foldiers work on them under the direaion of engineers. Seven hundred of the army of refkrve arrived at Derby on Wednefday, on their route from Lichfield to Nottingham. The army of referve belonging to the county of Derby have alfO, except a few who Tobin. teered into the Guards and the artillery, marched to Nottingham ; they are to be attached to the 945th Foot. On :he aoth ult. the Surrey Yeomanry, eemmand• ed by Lord Lassie, marched into Epfom for five days, and feveral days laf week west through their feveral evolutions on the Downs. The corretnefs they difplayed in afl their manauvres gave great pleafure to the numerous and retpeaable company who had affembled to witnefs the fcene, and did great credit td themfelves and their officers. The effea of their movements was heightened by the novelty of a rifle corps lately attached to them. The Surrey yeomanry is one of the moil relpeaable corps in the county, and may firmly be relied upon for any ferviee. On Monday laft, the two battalions of Mounts Bay Volunteers, the tit under the command of Lieute nant Colonels Pates and Oxman, and the ad under that of Lieutenant Colonel McNees, were drawn up in a field in the neighbourhood of Penzance, in order that they might be tufpeaed and reviewed by Lord de DUNITANVILLII they were exercifed about the fpace of an hour, previous to the arrival of his Lord. Drip and their Commanding Officers, whole pretence was announced by the beating of drums, and by the grand tone of" Gun face the King." Lord de Duos srauvtisa was frequently heard to (peak in praife of the fubordinate officers and privates of thefe Corps, on account of their manly and fuldier-like appear. ance. They went through their different evolutions in a llyle that gave muds fatistaition to their Com manding Officers; as well as to a great concourfe of fpeaators, who, as the weather was remarkably 6ne, were allembled on the occafion. The Clerk to Meffrs. flimsily? and Co. Brewera, at Enfield, feU lag week into a veffel filled with wort in a Rate Of• Atrmentation, and was inftantly fuffo. cated. His horfe was waiting at the door for him. But, reconciling come Orders he had to give in the brewhoufe. before his departure, he turned back, and is fuppofed to have been fuddenly overpowered by the Nines of the liquor while palling the veffel ; then lofing his feet, to have ftaggered headlong into the wort. The family went in fearch of him, and difcovered his unfortun a te accid e nt, by hi s h a t float ing upon the liquor. He was going into bufinefs for himfclf, and was that maiming coming to London to be appraifed into his new dwell:pg. DUBLIN, SEPT. 26. The trial which is to take place to-morrow before the Special Commi is that of Howland, the matt who is Paid to have Ibot the keeper of the Tower, but which ail he deniti poAtivelq , afcribing the man's death to the confuiltm of thole by whom he was taken. The two perfons to be tried on Friday next, are thole who were wopntled by the explofion of gun. powder in Patrick-tireet, previooily to the 23d of July.
