FLOTILLA OFF BlULOG)IL We are happy to inform the public that our no- Oa of Boulogne continues to harah the enemy al., mod ineefantly. The attention of the Board of , Ordnance to the quality of the gunpowder, with which ()stormy and navy are hipplied, ishighlypraife worthy, and promi(es incalculable advantages to our operations. During the American war it is a well known foe, that our powder was inferior to that of the French. Their balls would even go through our nips, when ours could hardly reach theirs. Now however, in fpite of the In:sailed progres made by our enemy in different arts conne(led with chemiffry, viee furpafs them fo far in the article of gun-powder, that at Boulogne we ran fend in our hells to their great annoyance, when at fucl, a difiance that they cannot snake a tingle one reach our veffels. This is a eircnmflance of great moment ; for the object of the enemy is to creel works out in the ha, to keep our veffels at a dinance. Without this they never can bring their gun boats to that prifition necerary for arrangement and (Ailing; and, thringh it may be imporlible abfolutely to pre• vent their getting on with works, where the men that are dellroyed have their places fupplied by others, they mutt yreceed very (lowly ; and even when fi niflied prove inadequate to the end propofed. The fuperiority of our powder, and the intrepidity of our tars will, even then, enable us to deflroy the 11/lofted fleet of gun boats, almoll as (ono as they !hall thew ehemfelves near thefe works. The following letter reached us this morning ; U err anet.nosrv, sm. 7. 0 , Little new has occurred fine my lel For tome days paR the enemy have been erelting mortars in every corner, arid on all the heights; but we have convinced them that they will be of little life, as the bomb reffel attached to our little fquadron, throws )ssr (hells to a much greater &Ranee than they do t h e irs, and we can even nand in and throw (hut among their, and drive the labourers from their work, when their (hat cannot reach ns.

Nothing can furni(h a (Ironer proof of the alacrity and teal of the country to meet an infolent invader than the impoffibility of finding arms for them, though it is a notorious fed that fume hundred thoufands of mufkets were ready in our magazines at the com mencement of the prefent rupture ; and though the manufadure of arms fince has been carried on *nth unceafing energy. The pike, however, is an excel lent weapon, and with it freeborn Britons will feel no difficulty in defending thole privileges which are objefts of admiration and envy to the reft of the world. The Winds of the War-Office is carried on with an energy and aaivity which real the highelt ho nour on ever] perfon in that department.
