We have no longer any temples of r.eafon, or things of that nature ; the Government did not in vite the citizens to dance ia the Elyfian Fields, but they danced more cheerfully aaJ freely in other pub. lie places.

There is no longer any talk of negotiations for peace ; the expedition agangt England is alone the order of the day. The order that neutral !hips from Englab ports, or which had even anchored there, !ball not be admitted into French ports, has undergone an alteration. A notification has been publifhed, Rating, that fueh neutral (hips as (hall have been obliged, from eir cumfiances of neceflity, to pot into Englills harbours, !hall be admitted into French ports, if their lading. only confih of northern produas; but if they have on board manufadures or colonial commodities, they will be excluded.

Cowie of Exchango—Dublin on London is a 141 a I'd. The rumours of (refit negociations for peace, re vived in the Paris Papers, on thc authority of letters from Berlin, have produced but little effea here.— Indeed, the Parifian Journals thcmfelves do not ap pear to have long cherifhed the pleafing dream of peace : they loon began again to boat of the forward (late of their preparations, the number of Blips they have launched, and the determined refolution of the Great A'at;oss to punifh the modern Carthage! It is plain, however, that though feveral appointments have taken place in their naval department, the prin cipal commands in the invading army have not yet been announced—a proof that the period for the threatened invafion is not fo near at band as Come have imagined. In the mean time, our different attacks upon the enemy's pot's mull have, by this time, convinced them that fomething more than mere gafconade muff b: employed for the filhjugation of a free and independent people ; and yet thc attacks that have been hitheito made are nothing to what they may expen, %%lien their preparations (ball be deemed in inch a P..te of forwArtincfs as may make it worth the trouble and expellee of escenting the plans formed in corf:quence rf Lard l;.c 11% late Comey of the French cord. Ncr will our attacks he confined to the French craft only ; t . ..e ports of 114.41.uad, from utence our eaflern eoafls have been threatened, will have won* to do in taking care of themfelves, in (lead of executing the mandates of the FIRST CON sot. Indeed, by accounts from Holland, it ap pears that fevcral attacks have already been made by our cruizers upon different points of the Dutch coax, which created no (mall degree of alarm, and did the enemy fame mifchief, as onr readers will fee by the following letter, received by the mail of ye& terday : BOMBARDMENT OF THE DUTCH COAST. "HAGUE, OCT. I. " On the evening before Taft we were fuddenly alarmed with intelligence that the Englifh had com menced a bombardment on the neighbouring filhing village of Scheveningen. Three companies of gre nadiers, which form the honorary guard of the Di rettory and the Legislative Body, which is ufttall)' polled before the hotel Of the latter, were immedi ately fent with two pieces of artillery. They were accompanied by a detachment of cavalry. " The following are the particulars of the attacks which the Englifh have made not only on Scheven ingen, but on other maritime places of Holland : "A fhip of the line, with Come gun boats and bomb vcffcls had been fent from the Englifh fleet in the North Sea, to dearoy all the vetels prepared for the tranfport of troops to England. In this attempt, however, they were but little fuccefsful. On the morning of the day before yeflerday an Englifh (hip of the line, with gun boats, appeared before Zand voort not far from diaerlem, which fired a number of (hot againa the former village not without doing Come damage. General De stones* u immediately went from Haerlem thither, and a detachment of dragoons was fent to Zandvoort and another to Wyk op Zee. About two in the afternoon the Eng lith failed away, after having fired about 200 fhot upon Zandvoort, by which eighteen bodes in the village were damaged, one flitting boat funk, and another much (battered. The Engiifb would have done us much more injury, had not the troops on the beach obliged their gun boats to keep at a diflance. A young Dutehman, named Molenaar, had the cou• rage, dining the firing, to fwim to a fchuyte which was on file and extingni(h the flames. No perfon was killed by the bombardment at Zandvoort. " From the above village theEnglifh failed to Sche veningen, firing all t he way on all the hinting veffels on the coati. About fix o'clock they appeared before Scheveningen. As loon as the (hip of the line, which was of about 5o or 6o guns, approached the (bore between Catwyk and Scheveningen, the fent off, un der a heavy cannonade, three armed fhallops manned with 150 men to cut out the fifhing pinks that were flitting at a little diflance from the village ; but not being able to fucceed in this, they purfued the (mall Ming boats that wt re at lea, and endeavoured either to take them or chive them on (tore. In the mean time the Englifh fliip of the line kept up a heavy fire on the village and (hips, with 12 and 24 pounders ; and the Englilh boats then approached the fhnre to burn the fifhing pinks ; and as the military detach ment on the beach were not able fufliciently to keep them off, they fucceedcd in letting fire to two of them, though the flames were afterwards eitinguifh ed. The Englifh likewife fired with grape (hot, and appeared but little to regard the (mall arms which only now and then reached them. A piece of at., tillery which happened to be at Scheveningen was afterwards brought down to the beach, in bringing which the inhabitants of the village exerted them (elves with great alacrity. This piece rendered very effeBnal fervice, and the Englifh loon after failed to the northward, and endeavoured to burn the boats which had run on theme. Our cam:tamers, however, followed them, and thole who had landed were loon obliged to re•embark. The damage done by the Englilb at Scheveningen was not of much impor tance. Betides the Dutch troops, fome French troops have now arrived there." On Monday fennight, his MAJESTY, accompanied by their Royal Higlineffes the Dukes of CLARENCII and CAMBRIDGE, and his ufual attendants, rode twice through Egham, to meet his and, lately land ed from Hanover. Their Royal Highneffes wore what is termed the Windfor uniform, but his Majefty was dreffed in dark blue ; he converted cheerfully with the Mailer of the Horfe, and his attendants, whom he accompanied with the horfes to Cumberland Lodge, Windfor Park, and teemed to teflify the mull lively fatisfate.lion. that he had even been fortunate enough to rave his animals from the fangs of an enemy, who are alike dellitute of humanity both to the human and brut: fpecies. Yellerday morning thine two of his MAJESTY'S ltorfcs, fa urn Hanover, patted through Windl4, on their way to Cumberland Lodge : the Duke ef CAM BRIDGE went part of the way towards Uxbridge, to meet them.

The Charlotte boy was drove from her cables on Friday, with two men only on board, but happily they fucceeded in getting her into Ramfgate pier without fultaining any material injury. It has blown very hard here for the !aft three days, and yet the ladies were to be feen parading in every dire lion. Many of them ventured on the cliff and the pier, in the hope that the breeze would light up a rofy complexion. Some, however, took care to provide themfelves with that before they came out. OCT. to.—Lord KEITH is returned to the Downs from his cruize off the coalt of Prance. It is laid that his Lordlhip has examined with great attention the Ilate of the French fortifications. In the harbour of Calais he raw no gun boats, or any appearance of naval preparation.

They are to be manned by the Sea Pencibles, uhn in the Pie of Thanet amount to above cos men, and ate ci tremely well difciplined.
